Because Vector Views use the Colour under Pattern in the Material definition and Standard Views Use the Texture (picture) on the Texture tab in the Material Definition , which you can view easily with the Rainbow Tool , usually in the top RH Corner of your Toolbar in any Camera View. M.

Try turning on "Edge Smoothing while Idle" in the Camera Defaults or in the Camera View itself in the Edit Camera DBX. If that doesn't help you'll need to provide examples so people can help Also, 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 above where you make your Signature or are perhaps you are on the CA Mobile WebSite?

In X10 don't we have Room Divider and Room Divider_2 by Default in Wall Types or did I already do what Michael suggested and make a copy at 0.01" ( changes to 0" on dbx close) M.

Perhaps your wall(s) isn't quite aligned with the Doorway? it seems to work for me okay ...Post your plan and someone will look otherwise...

There are Shiplap sidings in the Core Library but it is best to get into the habit of changing the Wall Definition rather that "Painting" Walls, weird things can happen with Painting Walls especially on Exteriors. Open the Wall Definition Tool , make a Copy of the Closest Wall you have, to the one you want and then Change the Interior or Exterior Wall material to another one in the Library , Under Siding eg Lite Grey Shiplap Below. Also, 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.

Courtesy of @glennw How to do it on a Mac with High Sierra Open Finder. Right click on the type of file you want to open (any .plan file) and click "Get Info". Go down to "Open With". Select Chief X10. Click "Change All". Don't see "Change All" When you first right click on a .plan file and that dbx opens, DON'T click Open With up at the top. Go further down and click on Get Info. A dbx like the attached pic will open. Have a look down about half way and you will see another Open With and a Change All box. Also you can With a .plan file hi-lighted in a Finder window you can also get there by going File...Get Info. Info from this Post https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/17314-why-does-x9-open-and-not-x10/?do=findComment&comment=145236

Freize Boards or Moldings in X10 - problems?
Kbird1 replied to calgaryhomes's topic in General Q & A
Alan had the same Issue last week and Tech Support have sent it to the developer for a fix , he suggested using a molding line instead. -
SketchUp has a Free CheckUp tool , it may give you more information about whether your VideoCard is okay or not for Chief too. https://help.sketchup.com/en/article/3000318

It's not a Bug , it a new Feature , so to turn it off for all Doors including Doorways .......Open that Doorway and under Options, select Hide Top Edge. Select Automatic to display wall surface lines only when the selected door is a Doorway. • Select Show Top Edge to display wall surface lines regardless of the door type. • Select Hide Top Edge to not show wall surface lines regardless of door type.

Strange it would seem my Forums Emails stopped this morning sometime , there are 4-5 replies in this thread alone I wasn't notified about.... Per the above have you asked the Countertop Fabricator if they can Router out the lip around the Sink hole , so the exposed edge is only 3/4 ? would seem do-able to me. To say the Documentation on PBR is Sparse is a understatement , a big one...there is not a single Reference to Physical Based Rendering in the Reference Manual , nothing in the online Knowledge Base and Still only one Video , which I suspect use Our settings from the Forum PS. EVGA offers extended warranties for the 1st 90 Days Graham $20 I think to extend it to 5yrs , $30 for 10yrs. Their Video Cards used to come with a lifetime Warranty , which was why I initally bought them years ago. I don't think the StepUp Program will be much use to you , since you said the 1060 is the most your computer can handle.

I believe so. Here is another one. http://planetpixelemporium.com/tutorialpages/light.html I made a Light Source Values Chart for myself from PlanetPixel, so here is the PDF if someelse can use it too. Real World Light Sources in RGB Numbers.pdf

Told you your Clients were better ...mine would only get a Malbec The Glass looks great , but the Bottle seems to be a red material that isn't giving the same look as the glass was all I meant . Never been a Fan of the Ogee Counter Edge myself , and you are right it can look bad if the joint isn't done well and is really thin. It's one of the Reasons I like 1 1/4" / 3cm Quartz these days. M.
-
Looks good , the wine glass filled does work .... can the Bottle not be a little more transparent or translucent? How about a simple Eased edge on the Countertop instead of that lambs tongue or Ogee moulding , the Detail is lost in the pattern of the Marble it seems but maybe just the camera angle?. M.

I have to agree , there seems to be no correlation between real life metrics and the CA Library Items which is what everyone expects... ( and needs ) it feels more like there was a Time crunch and it was easy just to replicate the symbols one after another with all settings the same except with the Diameter changed eg 4" 6" etc.... PS I was referring to you 4" potlight from the Core Library being corrupt possibly? mine is 1200 lumens by default. The one I had trouble with were saved in my User library and maybe even be from X7 or earlier M.

I think this is one you linked last Year Graham ...... https://academo.org/demos/colour-temperature-relationship/

@Douglas49 Its a deep program and you can just gloss the surface I guess but there always seems like there is something new to learn , the Forums are invaluable in my experience, especially after a New Release like X10. There is a Series of Vids on CAD Work as a Primer..... Focus: CAD 1 , 2 and 3 ( videos 9904,9905 and 9906) and probably 20 Others I am still working on myself ..... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/playlists/97/17-cad-tools.html

Good timing Graham , I read this morning EVGA and other Manufacturers put their Cards like the 1080 up another $50US , 1080ti Hybrid was $869 and is now $909US. Unfortunately DDR4 has almost doubled in Price in the last year too.... as I think 16GB is about the lower limit nowadays, happy my last build was two years ago cos I thought prices were crazy then, today is a whole other story.

not sure if you saw post #43 Cheryl ? on page 2 , that is how I have my Templates set up now.... With the PBR Camera as the Default , so I don't need to switch from Standard. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/16912-lets-pbr/?do=findComment&comment=142683

There is something wrong with your default 4" mini-can as mine is 1200 lumens same as the 6" , seems they are ALL defaulted to 1200 which is still 12x too much . Perhaps reset you Electrical defaults and Choose the one in the Library again ? or one you have re-copied to your User Library. I also found that old recessed cans I had in my User Library don't seem to work correctly , especially if placed on a Vaulted Ceiling. So you are Using Point lights again ? ie the reverse of Ray Tracing in X9 ? Not sure where the 175° spread came from either it's more like 95° ITRW M.
-
Yes I am a bit surprised , that they have not updated all the basic materials at least ( ie 3x6 standard cabinet backsplash) , since they obviously knew PBR was coming a year ago... Thanks , I have the Pendant now , I have found that Kohler's Polished Chrome Material worked well too in PBR , in the Bathroom I just did. M.
-
Much nicer 3rd time lucky....... is the Pendant one of Chief's ? if not do you mind sharing it pls. M.
-
It was the grout lines I noticed .....He made one for me last year (...thanks @Renerabbitt ), I can't find the Thread now so I exported it ....here it is.... The Pendants are one of Chief's? they do look good.....wish I had your Clients PS time to update your Sig. ReneR_4x16_Bump White Tile.calibz

I would suspect it is the OpenGl support which needs version 3.3 in X9 but only version 2 in X8 . TechpowerUp says it supports OPGL 3.3 but ??? , I did read that Driver version 11.2 help OpenGL sometimes on the 4000 series cards. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02761/chief-architect-minimum-system-requirements.html latest ATI Driver...from 2013 https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy2&os=Windows+8+-+64

I catch some standing on my Granite Island like that and I'd have them killed Do you have Rene's 4x16 white tile with Bump-map he did for me ? looks quite good ...... Are the Pendant's in the Library ? M.
