it's a good thing you are in Florida ....otherwise I'd take that Cell phone away from you those phone pics take ages to load and just aren't as clear as the Windows Snipping Tool Ones.... a copy of the plan would help though.... but at a rough guess from the 2nd pic maybe your subfascia/fascia settings aren't right, is the Fascia set smaller than the subfascia ?

I meant the Built in Help Menu ( F1 or Help buttons in Program) not the PDF's which I also have and usually use cos, the Text is too small in the Help file , But because I think the Text in the Help Menu (vs PDF) is crisper than the low res. PDF version, I was hoping it worked like Word / Wordpad and simply made it fit the same space size by adding extra Pages at larger text sizes. M.

HI Graham , actually I meant a Firmware Upgrade each year for the USB HASP / Drive / Lock whatever you want to call it , I believe they now use one of the Sentinel HASP Products. https://sentinel.gemalto.com/software-monetization/sentinel-hasp/

The Help Menu App that pops up allows its own Font etc to be adjusted but can the actual Help File Text Size be altered ? ie made larger , Size 12 , it appears to be Size 8 currently. I know I can zoom in on it but that causes you to have to scroll back and forwards or make the Window wider , so I'm hoping I've missed something..... M.

Does Interiors have all the 3D solids tools? I know the "Home" Line doesn't so Soffits are your only option other than Shapes, though I thought everyone had Slabs? M.

Ok thanks , what I missed I think in the Video was that you were Clicking the Wall Hatch Tool and then Dragging out the Wall Hatching ONLY , not a piece of the actual Wall..... * pulling an actual chuck of wall and inserting into another does take the wall hatching too but does change the wall type.....

I would suggest posting an example Plan/Layout Dan , so people can test and offer you advice , otherwise all they are doing is guessing at your Settings.... good idea these days to indicate if using X9 or X10 Beta too in the .Plan M.

YES, your signature....

I guess using the "cut and steal" method requires you to "cut and steal" from the same wall type Correct? or that short section will change the Wall Type for that section...or did I miss something in the Video. ? So making a Wall Legend with different walls (hatched) would be beneficial ? and then perhaps use copy>paste from the legend ? M.

Thanks Guys , I do appreciate the advice given by all so far..... M.

You and me Both, I am thinking it is time for a Clean install too, that is why I started this thread to try and get more info 1st :

You would think in this day and age they could do a Firmware Update to the Drive for you and the Cost would be minimal , ie return postage if you have SSA and thus Premium Support . I can see them not wanting the files out in the wild , (so you could do it yourself) , but if you are willing to Fedex them them drive, ( cross-ship with CC ) then it should be a Service that is Offered rather than a money making Venture that once again "dings" good Clients. M.

Oh wow, good news I guess though...... Out of curiosity , are any of the Folders in Preferences>folders referencing the DVD Drive ? Not sure why the library would immediately begin to enumerate other Drives when looking in the Library , rather than looking in the standard locations for files 1st, ( too aggressive pre-fetch? ) but I think it would be worth Reporting to T.S. , if nothing else to update their Database for future Users who call in, as a possible cause. M.

That's how I did it the 1st time I checked and no difference here , with the Material Painter it might have been quicker actually, as it excludes alot of the library by default. M.

Looks like TS will have to help you as I can't duplicate your pause here in X9 or X10 following Vid#2 You don't have your Chief Data folder in Dropbox or on a Network Server or something like that do you? M.

You 1st file was okay I opened it , I simply selected the Roof hole and made it rectangular , it snapped to the inside of the Dormer Room, but may have destroyed the "Inside look" judging from Eric's comment.... M.

I didn't check actually .... plan plan keeps having micro pauses here , not sure if my computer or the plan.... there are 4 wall A's though.... not sure what the Hip wall designation does ? seen any documentation?

it is your Roof Holes causing it by the look Larry , I made the one on the right rectangular and it fixed it ..... you can see in the 1st Pic, the left Roof hole notches into the wall so is still broken in the 2nd pic the RH Dormer is good again ....

390.65 is working for me , the other driver that did work before that was 382.05 per my other post linked above.... 388.xx Series didn't , the issue seems worse on Laptops though. Please fill in your Forum Signature , see mine for how to do it , thx. M.

I don't have the same library perhaps? Using X10 see pic below......are you in x9 or x10 now? i don't see an American flag? or I can't tellwhat the other stuff is in your video. yep about a second here too...

Are you opening them or just clicking on the folder ? seems okay here they are large Library though I think.... M.

The Corsair SSD Toolbox should tell you if you have the latest Firmware but it is likely not needed. Have you tried with a Clean User Library ? or is this Clean? I had crashing issues at one point which seem to have been eliminated deleting some bad symbols , in my case some Curved Windows. M.

Looks like X9 needs the 2015 version of the C++ Redistributable installed in the link above , I just had an issue with this earlier this week with the 2015 version with another Program , and if it won't install ( it sees a "newer" version ) check your installed Programs in Control Panel and see if the 2017 Version is installed , if so uninstall it , and then reinstall the 2015 Versions , you can then add the 2017 version back too , if needed. The missing DLL was provided in a windows update KB2999226 which may not have been installed on your system or maybe failed to install. If you run the Visual C++ Redistributable for 2015 found on the Microsoft website it should resolve your problem. Ignore the SURFACE ADVERTISING 2015 link....check both version to download https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145 2017 X86 https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vc_redist.x86.exe 2017 x64 https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

sounds like the known issue for some with the nvidia drivers assuming your system has them ?

Yep ...more than a few versions , 4 or 5 ? , but not sure exactly when it started , they added the ability to use your phone to switch about 2 years ago I think though? CA is watching this thread according to what Online Users are looking at and the last 4 Visitors on my Profile were from CA too, which has never happened before... M.
