Nope , it has always been this way in Chief and why there are numerous Threads on Fascia Mounted Railings , GlennW came up with the invisible layer Offset , 2-3 years ago , at least that was when he shared it in a thread of Mine but there was a recent Thread on this too, about a month ago , see below. The "Offset" setting is for those times you want the Rails to pass over the Posts , not in-between them. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/17243-railings/?do=findComment&comment=144845

Well it seems that Rob beat me to it Neal, ( told you there are lots of helpful people here ) and likely did a better Job than me too, I had forgotten about Gimp actually.... hopefully His file will get the job done for you. M.

Are you both talking about 23.20.16.4982 ? (Intel Download was Win64_15.65.5.4982) They seem to be working correctly with my HD 630 with 20.2 , they didn't with 20.1.1.1 , ie multi-coloured fireflies everywhere but no SEH crashes like earlier Drivers / X10 version Combos. M.

Huh? 1.5 inchs not 1.5 feet .... not sure what else you are doing cos it seems to work here ? see cross section above too... the foundation is 3" each way smaller than the house.... I just drew a 20'x40' box and set the Siding 6 wall definition to have a 1 1/2 " offset ( - 1 1/2" works too )

I'd try Google and see if there is a free Converter for DXF to STEP M.

Tech Support Told me they are aware of the Issue , but the more reports they get the better I'd think. M.

Do you mean the MFG. Home overhangs the foundation by 1 1/2 inches? then you would just set the Foundation Offset to 1 1/2" on the Default exterior Wall definition and it would do it Auto.

That was one reason I thought it might be the Firewall as I know Win10 has the Built-in One, ( along with windows Defender) however I am not conversant with OSX or Macs in general , Most Routers also have Built in Firewalls of some Kind too. If it was the Activation Server I'd had thought more people would have the Issue.... M.

It is the issue I said above, the Foundation Piers need a ground beam or foundation wall then you can copy and paste (hold position) to level 0....but it doesn't look right , I'm not actually sure how you added Piers to a framed Walled like that.... so better to delete them and drawn your own like under the deck.... or copy and paste them from the deck...

I guess I missed that in the Materials list doing a quick scan through.... The HVAC Unit is sticking though the Kitchen wall by the door to the garage though , so I think it's CAD Block must be incorrect , unless you have one H*** of a lightening storm there? M.

Still abit strange if that Colour isn't used in the rest of the House...

Someone has too and that's a thick coat of Paint

looks like you painted or change the Material to Behr Ostrich (W-F-410 - OSTRICH) somehow.

I think Piers need a Foundation Wall ( Containing Object?) and it be set to use the Grade Beams and Piers type......unless you draw your Own Piers with P-Solids? But not an error message I have seen before..... in the past I have drawn my own as the Grade Beam Default foundation was too limiting. M.

I don't have the Issue but I wonder if it is a Firewall Issue ? ie The Chief Program is not be allowed to send Data to the Chief Activation Server , which it has to do once every 10-14 days I believe.

There are issues with the new update if you export in PNG or any other Transparent File type (eg TIF) , perhaps this is something similar?

Most people are Using PBR Larry , but there has been issues with Black areas in Raytrace in X10 if the Terrain Perimeter is really large. IIRC Melissa ( User @pgjacob ) had this Issue recently if you search Her Topics I think you'll find it. ***found one of Her Posts.... M.

Hi Bill, are you on X10 v20.2.0.51 , cos I thought this Error was supposed to be fixed in last weeks update? M.

Nicely done Rene , especially considering the Original Image posted.... Hope you got that Fancy lunch...well worth it by the looks....

Have you considered Renting Pro for $49 Month ? I think if you pay 12 mths ( consecutively) it becomes yours though I think an upgrade from Suite is only $395 outright, ie they credit your Suite Purchase against Pro's cost, don't think that is an option if you Rent but you could ask....can't hurt.... M.

That's why I usually have Drivers off in Windows Update , but I also don't install Geforce Experience or the 3D Control stuff since I use neither and don't want their auto driver updates either , as I am not an early adopter unless I have an issue I am hoping to be solved. Tried .35 and went back to .24 as my Blanking out issue is Worse on them with the new Card. Now waiting for new DP cables to come from Startech to see if that is the Real issue ...as EVGA now Claim. M.

I guess you have drivers off in Windows Update then ? I am surprised they haven't forced an update to the latest WHQL Drivers otherwise ( 391.35 ) M.

Okay I see it now ... it is 391.01 , Nvidia usually uses the last 5 digits as seen in the NV Control Panel. there have been 3-4 drivers since 391.01 ( .05 .24 .35 plus hot fixes ) it is not uncommon for the 1st Driver in a Series (391) to be not the Best but you seem to have same issues as me 391.24 https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/131974 391.35 https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/132845

What about a Foundation ? it's always a good idea to build a Roof and foundation , even if you don't need them for your particular project , other strange things can happen with "Light Bleed" in the scene . And you've been here long enough to know to Post the plan by now you'll get much better help, there's too much guessing otherwise.... M.

So you are talking about your Spectre with Intel Drivers then? not the 1060 on Nvidia Drivers ? I actually haven't installed the new Update on my Laptop yet to test Intel Drivers. I thought I had noticed the Camera Drop down thing myself but not today....maybe that was on my Laptop though? M.
