to my surprise the CSR replied today and said there will be some fixes for intel cards in 20.2 , which will probably be released next week but She didn't have all the Details about it, and I'd need to wait for the Release Notes for that. M.

My guess would be to get whatever your budget can afford especially since it appears you are working at 4K. With a 1000wPS you are able to get whatever Card you want , I would look at a 1070Ti or 1080 , 1080Ti if the Budget can handle it as all cards are expensive right now , though I don't think it will change anytime soon , though they have come down a little this month as manufacturers have caught up after the Xmas rush.... it's a tax write off isnt it go for it.... you can always move it to a new Computer......or buy a full system with a 1070 or 1080 and a i7-8700K CPU , and make that PC your new "Office Computer" .

I am using the latest 391.24 Drivers , Perry usually updates regularly too. You are on 388.73 , there were a few issues with the 388 series but that is the 1st report I have seen of this one.... https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/131974 just found Nvidia has a newer one 391.35 too https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/132845 that's 4 drivers this month , so I guess something is up at Nvidia.... If those don't work I would try 382.05 since you have an older GTX 970 , latest is not always the best with older Hardware. see my post on doing that here :

I would recommend going through the Tutorial Guide and learning the Auto Basic Roof Settings 1st as CA can handle alot automatically , then learn the manual Tools as you have time/need. Get the Tut. and Ref. Manual on the Help menu if you haven't already and use the F1 key for context help too (ie whatever you are doing at the time). https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/5447/roof-basics.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/6126/ https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/6123/hip-roof.html?playlist=95

the Card Greg and Graham got is a short card , also known as HL version or Half Length and should fit most cases , there are also HHHL cards or half height half length Cards for small form Factor Computers....

I guess we have new Forum size limits for uploads as that plan is 41mb and we couldn't upload anything bigger than 25mb previously. Strangely I am not getting that "stripping" shown in your pics , wonder if that's a graphics driver issue? there are definitely two driveways though , I can select the 2 pieces and slide them off to the left and there is a full 1 piece (2nd) driveway beneath. M.

Not at all Isaac but most people Don't use their Real names as there UserName and personally if I am helping someone I prefer to respond to someone by name ... not "something" on the internet , we are after all a User Community helping each other here .... not paid Support Staff. I'd still suggest putting Isaac in the Signature for your Future Posts which I assume will be many over the coming years.... The biggest reason though is there are many versions of Chief going back 20yrs ( and the Home Designer titles) and if you aren't using the latest there are often quite different Answers as we get new tools every version. M.

Followup : the CSR I am chatting with on my "Bad Cabinet" Plan SEH Errors has also confirmed to me that there is a known Issue with Intel 600 Series Cards at the moment , which we all have in our Secondary machines. Whatever "Bug" I found ( not told ) they think will disappear/be fixed in the next updated to 20.2 which She said should be available in the next 7-14 days.... no word on the Intel 600 Fix , as I just provided her with more info on that issue yesterday. M.

good find...... who's to say who's to blame , not sure how you would accidentally get two driveways in the same spot ( copy and paste in place?) unless maybe it is an X8 or X9 9 plan brought forward and it is that type of anomaly? M.

Draw the Railing in it's Own Plan perhaps or use a BackClipped Cross Section set to 6" so you only see the Railing might work too Post the Plan and I think someone will advise... this is a User Based self help Forum so as others said it's good to have your Forum Signature filled in please, especially with the Software Version, and of course a Name is nice too .............. ***see mine below in Blue for how to do that. If you don't see my Signature then you have them turned off for the Forum Toggle it on in UserName>Account >Signatures...... go to the Upper RH Corner of Forum Window. M.

It sounds like you have the Status Bar off in Preferences ? The Pass No# and Time is still there in X10

No idea what is causing it, I have seen the weirdness in the DBX too, but when I see Weirdness like this in STD or PBR views I Paint the "Bad Material" using the eyedropper Tool from one that is working eg the Slab next to the Driveway which seems to fix it. I have the same in a Kitchen project , the Cabinets near the Fir French Doors keep changing from White to a Brownish White , like it is picking up some of the Fir Colour , so I just Eye Dropper it off the Cabinet next to it each time it changes.....yes it's a Real PITA ..... this new lighting Engine , is still in Beta me thinks M.

Possibly but I would suggest a 6GB version , instead if your budget can afford it , Graham just got the 6GB EVGA 1060 and is happy with it , I have the 8GB EVGA 1070 FTW2. https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+10+Series+Family&chipset=GTX+1060+6GB P.S. Chief now recommends 4GB and my 4GB 1050Ti , in my Laptop seems to handle x10 Ok. More info in JBHammer thread too with the same issue as you and other with Older AMD Cards

Box,Bay and Bows use the default Window , so you can perhaps change it there 1st if different from those used? you can also use TAB or the Next Icon to access the Windows in a box,bay or bow window too , to edit the in-place windows click over the window then hit TAB or the Next Icon and the selection should shift to the individual Window. M.

If they have a normal map , you change it on the general panel I believe , not via the Texture check box now , it's not so much a "Blend" though as a change.... M.

Actually I am just reporting it now , I came here to copy and paste the Driver numbers, so I will pull those logs too, thanks. Mick.

Just confirming that 21.20.16.4590 is working with my Intel HD 630 graphics card too. I got it Off the Microsoft Update Catalogue , it does a variety of Intel Cards though not just the 620,630..... eg 550,615, Iris Pro etc. https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=0fbd6c35-4623-4b21-8c33-1006bc24a628 or the main page https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=21.20.16.4590 M.

David Michael (DMDZ) has a couple of older symbols on his Website...I still use his Nana Wall Symbols too. http://www.davidmichaeldesigns.com/free.html

Thanks ....... No , I am sure you main machine is better , no doubt there , I was just thinking about the issues with the HP and replacing it with something with a Nvidia card. as your backup or secondary machine..... best to sell the HP while it is still a newish Model if possible and it'll make the CFO happy ...... it was unfortunate timing for you and the fact nobody knew about the x10 changes and PBR when you got it..... M.

Ooops , I misunderstood what you were asking...... you are right I no longer see Post # either which was handy , and I used it alot in the Let's PBR Thread , so there will be confused people there.... M.

@Dan_Park I have occasionally gotten the HTML source code/no graphics since last week's Forum update , and no longer get any email notifications as I previously did of posts to threads I am following , a reset of those did not fix it either. You have to click on the Date (or time) it was posted ....I right click it and choose copy link location , been that way for a while for me.... or select the text in the post you want to quote, don't move the mouse, wait a second and a small popup will ask if you want to quote this, then click the popup..... M.

even more curious when you can see the floor is on the same level..... inswing - outswing perhaps? is CA that smart ?

Just a quick follow up , x10 is running fine on my Acer Laptop ( above ) 1050ti that arrived a few days ago , and I think it will be a great secondary machine , for when working out of town or wanting to show Client's something on Site / at meetings , but if it was my main computer I would want something with more oomph.... and a 1060 or 1070 videocard , though it is not the Card (1050ti) I think that is the slight slowness , but my Desktop is 6 core ,32gb ram so fairly high spec, so I am used to stuff happening "now" not 1-2 secs from "now" , certainly PBR doesn't seem any different on the laptop to the desktop as far as moving the camera etc using the Nvidia Card. ( the Intel Card crashes PBR currently) M.

Hi Mark, https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/17026-macbook-pro-or-dell-precision-laptop/?tab=comments#comment-143216 after seeing Johnny and Scott Harris's posts above I decided to pick up a 1050Ti too..... I picked up a Acer Nitro 5 An515-15 YG76 laptop for a good price (scratch and dent at amazon) which has the GTX 1050Ti in it too and it runs CA X10 PBR fine but I wanted to install the best Intel Driver for the HD 630 which also crashes X10 with 22.20.16.4749 as soon as you move the camera. just curious which Intel Driver you are using now ? Actually in the US Acer has some good deals direct in the Recertified Store , if you want something as a secondary machine till you upgrade your main Computer next year....and want to move the Spectre on.... Mine has a mark on the lid , which you can only see in certain light , so better than I thought but I guess they couldn't sell it as "new". They also ship a free HDD Caddy and cable if you get a model with only an SSD and want to add extra storage to it, like mine which has the 256GB NVME SSD only. https://acerrecertified.com/acer-nitro-5-15-6-notebook-intel-core-i7-2-8ghz-16gb-512gb-ssd-win10home-an515-51-76sx/ actually the slightly better Helios 300 with a 1060 is a good price too https://acerrecertified.com/acer-predator-helios-300-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i7-2-80-ghz-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-6gb-16gb-ram-256gb-ssd-windows-10-home-g3-571-77qk/

The Picture is a Kit I think and there is an 8 missing in the Model No# see below , didn't see a .skp file though.... AFAIK we can't convert/import Revit Files...unless you have Revit of course and convert to .skp or .3DS , Delta doesn't seem to model much of there Monitor 17 Series though.
