    The OP's problem maybe to do with Windows Scaling perhaps , particularly if the 3 monitors are not all the same.... Windows Own Snipping Tool work well for screen shots of partial screen shots and know let you choose different shapes or a particular Window too, you can mark up with the Pen too but it doesn't have a text option unfortunately. it's in Windows Accessories , though I have it pinned to my taskbar....

    I personally have not had good luck with Acronis , it comes free with WD Drives and Samsung's SW is no better, at least for me , I have used Macrium successfully now for the last 3-4 years , including swapping out my Samsung 250gb Evo 850 for a Samsung 500gb 960 EVO NVME Drive last year. M.

    There are many such issues with the ML as it does not use Industry Standard / accepted methods for Take Offs , a pet peeve of Mine , since the ML was one of the Reasons for getting CA originally for me.... it something they have promised to work on for the last 3-4 versions but I haven't found it much better despite X10's ML upgrades. Admittedly I have not spent alot of time with the ML in X10 as I don't trust it enough to use for bids etc..... it only contains what is in the model as well another downfall currently. M.

    My guess would be Win7 does not have the appropriate Drivers for the MX500 --- SSD or NVME , NVME could be an issue with Win7.... Hook the drive up as a secondary drive with the old HDD as main and see if the SSD is seen or if Win7 needs additional Drivers. What SW did you use to clone the Drives? Try Macrium Reflect Free perhaps , and use the "Fix Boot Option , in the rescue disk Menu before rebooting too.

    Hi , not sure if it is part of the issue but none of the effected windows are recessed to Sheathing , and when I turned recessed on, the casing disappeared altogether, which lead me to change the casing to Chief's baseboard CA-001 ( sizes left at default ) and the Casing came back , so there maybe an issue with the Brosco Moulding Library?

    Rene made some Strip lights in the Symbols Forum which I adjusted and made a few extra versions you could try playing with....

    I am using 397.64 with my 1070Ti currently and haven't had any issues but I am not using CA heavily ATM. 391.24 was the other good one for me.......as the 1070Ti will not run anything less than the 388 Series.

    Metric Work is usually done in mm (millimeters) not cm (centimeters) just so you know. M.

    Personally I have always installed Flooring where the Appliances are eg on the last job under the Slide in Range , dishwasher , and Undercounter Washer and Dryer. M.

    Just a FYI.....If you have X9 and SSA you should have X10 automatically ...otherwise it would cost $695 to upgrade to the latest Version , however I don't think SSA is transferable to a new Owner , something to contact CA Sales about as you will need the Transfer Papers and to pay the Transfer Fee as well .

    I think it is a Regional thing , as here it is rare to have flooring go in 1st , to much chance of damaging it, though I do it occasionally if a Client has future plans to change layout or type of cabinets. Generally we use a false 3/4" thick cabinet Kick which is installed after the flooring to help the Flooring guys though. M.

    Not is X8 as far as I am aware but that is a new feature in X10 M.

    Dan has a Video on his method here in the CA Library...... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1966/want-to-be-faster-at-measuring-a-remodel-project-by-dan-baumann.html

    I see it too , especially on the T in Layout.... What settings are being used when sending to layout though? perhaps a pic of the Send to Layout DBX , so others can test too will help. Are those the 3D text letters from the Library? M.

    Dimensions!

    Kbird1 replied to TheHills's topic in General Q & A

    If this doesn't fix it you may have turned off "Show wall length when editing" ............hit Alt-Q to bring up the DBX.

    It can also be done as Ray suggested , you just need to turn off Automatic Roof Build after letting the Roof build at 9ft and then set the Ceiling height to 12' , and possibly uncheck Has Flat Ceiling in some rooms if you want the Vaulted look. M.

    Good news , make sure to disable Driver Updates from Windows Update per the 382.05 Thread so you aren't automatically updated to a newer version again. M.
  18. Kbird1
    It sounds like Graham and Mark are on the right Track with it being a Driver issue , it is possible that the latest Windows 10 Update also update the Video Driver and it is not compatible , but we'd need alot more info on your system , eg a model no# and perhaps a link to the Page at HP for it. You can add your system Info to your signature as most of us do , it is very easy to fill in, especially with the Software Version, and of course a real 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 so you need to Toggle it on in UserName>Account >Signatures...... go to the Upper RH Corner of Forum Window. M.

    You could try an older Nvidia Driver , eg 382.05 ( link below ) as the 670M is not supported by the latest Nvidia Drivers apparently.

    Sounds like one for Tech Support , I don't think I have ever seen a Beach Ball so I'm not much help.... you may have a bad symbol in the Library , especially if you import stuff from the SketchUp 3D Warehouse etc but you will need to provide more info as nobody even knows what Software you are using or what version.....I suggest filling in your Forum Signature and providing a few more details if you can..... see below. It's good to have your Forum Signature filled in, especially with the Software Version, and of course a real 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 so you need to Toggle it on in UserName>Account >Signatures...... go to the Upper RH Corner of Forum Window. M.

    No Sorry Olivia, it was a general comment and not aimed at you..... always happy to have another contributing member here , since the Forums are User helping User ( mostly ). It's good to have your Forum Signature filled in, especially with the Software Version, and of course a real 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 so you need to Toggle it on in UserName>Account >Signatures...... go to the Upper RH Corner of this Forum Window and Click on your User Name >Account Settings.

    I noticed the same thing actually , for whatever reason People on the Net don't seem to think "good manners" eg a Thank You is needed when Help is provided...

    Multiple copy makes it easier to place on 8ft and 4ft joints etc , corners can be an issue still though.... there have been a few threads on doing this , so try a Forum search eg on Hardie Panels or similar Terms. M.

    In the simple Cross section (OP) isn't just a CAD Box with with Fill the easy solution or have I missed something in the discussion ? I too have run into the "Solids not really being Solids" , (just faces) issue too in the past. M.

    Sorry to hear that Scott, I've had a few with X10 but mainly the SEH Error Type , but the Bad one I had was Corrected in 20.2.0.51 , they were able to use my "Reports" ( from the send report button ) to track it down , so one word of advice is always to hit the Send Report Button regardless , even if you have already done it " 9 times this morning ". Be happy to try your file too like others, if you want to post it.......and if they are suddenly inundated with Send Report Files , they may be able to track it down ...
