Apparently the removing of Framing from the Component Dialog was on Purpose , but he didn't say WHY . He would like more information from Users as to what functionality we have lost since X9 ( if any ) so He can determine if it is something they need to look into , so please add your comments and I will update him accordingly.... I have only noticed the Framing missing , have any other categories disappeared? M.

always a good idea to post images , but for a quicker "fix" it is way better to post the plan file , so someone can just look for you.... - Nice catch GlennW

it looks similar to the Carport KB Article and several others like the one on Barns.... To fill in your Forun Signature , please see mine for how to do it...thanks. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01179/creating-a-carport.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00598/creating-a-post-and-beam-structure.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01069/designing-a-traditional-pole-barn-structure.html https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00889/creating-a-custom-pergola.html https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-01010/creating-a-covered-patio.html

Hi Ed , I have watched Jared's Video Previously and need a new Template for X10 after finding a few issues with old plans brought forward , if you have time would you mind looking at my Post below ( from a few weeks ago ) and share any tips about starting a new Template from scratch Please. I don't want to clutter up Larry's thread here with that, Thanks.

Looks like it must just be you and me Mike who want to do this for X10 ....... I have found a few Issues using older Templates , like the new Header Labels not working without a re-frame , and Component List feilds not populate in the ML if you use a X9 or earlier Template. M.

I don't think so unless one of the Tile Manufacturers in the Library has a similar tile and has done a .pat for it. there are online Pattern Generator you could look into... https://www.mosa.com/en-gb/services/pattern-generator http://www.cadhatch.com/hatch-pattern-generator/4588167700 If you have Autocad too ? maybe this will do it ? http://cadtips.cadalyst.com/node/1388?no_cache=1499103174 http://www.hatchkit.com.au/ this is a PDF of Chief Pat files someone made.... Fill Hatch Patterns Cheat Sheets.pdf

Jan.18th.....Just a quick update I have been using 390.65 for about a week on my Desktop and had no issues in Chief or other Programs so far, they are also as fast as 382.05.

This style is also called Arabesque , if there is nothing in Chief's library I would try some of the AutoCad Forums / Sites as the Pattern Files also work in Chief. you could start here : Google Images of Arabesque Tile

I have my cameras set just like yours and have the same experience with PBR<>Standard view Defaults --- one turns on the other.... For me with RCSS on my CPU fan boosts up and down with the 3D view movement , so it was immediately noticeable to me early in trying Beta 3 , and since the noise is a pain in the A** , i have them turned off for normal working/drawing .....I can turn them back on if I need a Pic for a Client or something, I really don't need all the "Eye Candy" when I am working on a Drawing. M.

All 3D views ( and possibly DBX's with 3d content like the library) now use "Ray Casted Sun Shadows" (RCSS) and this is causing slowdowns for some as it is using the CPU , (the ray trace engine ) for these new Shadows , you can disable them in the Camera's Settings by unchecking them ,to test . M.

it aint just you ....

You make it sound so simple Sir ! I'm not sure why the Ridge and Kicker (valley board) can't be done auto to be honest, along with the needed Bracing for the trusses etc sometimes I think CA needs dragging out of the 80's the way they build stuff ......not to mention some of the Library Items

Didn't occur to me at all either, I have 4 Filters setup so I can search each folder separately if I know approx. where to look , looks like it was maybe stuck in Manufacturers but I'm not sure why I could still see my User folder as that is not the way that filter is Set Up ie I should see Manufacturers only, but I guess the USER folder is always view-able and my User Filter only works for Searches. M.

you must be from the land of big Lumber 4x12 wow.... I like the header upto the plate too , and most Inspectors are happy with it from my experience , but I don't see us getting that Option anytime soon from CA. M.

Arizona and Canada......brrrrrrr chilly

Here at least it has been many years since we were allowed 2x4 exterior walls , 2x6 is Code here, it's the only way to get the reqd Wall Insulation Factor , unless the Client can afford 2lb Spray Foam. We did at one point Frame like that but soon found it was faster and cheaper to just add a bottom cap to the two Headers peices and keep the header flush to the outside. now we do the same with 2x6 walls but found it easier to cap the top as well and leave the recess for the insulators to fill. ( technically the foam would be better on the outside I guess to keep the Header warm , but generally that is not going to happen as most framers won't deal with it. I actually like the header against the top plates too . sure makes things easier in a Reno if you want a larger Window. M.

It appears to be a X9 plan brought forward issue too , the Comp. DBX , Description field is working if you start in a a Pure OOB CA X10 Template Plan . Not sure why they removed Framing from the Wall's Component DBX though....

Michael just made a video on adjusting CAD Blocks , not sure if it all applies to X6 though Andy..... time for an upgrade better now than next month when X10 comes out....

Replacing the .ini files did not help...... So I sent Brian Beck a report about it since I hadn't heard from Support yet, and he noticed in my pics that the Filters appeared to be screwed up, so He suggested I reset it to " not filtered " this worked and I could see the Folders again, but it caused CA X10 to crash with a Serious SEH Error over and over, but a shutdown and reboot seems to have cured it thankfully. M.

Double check that your Library filters are still set to "NOT FILTERED" ie. show all

The header itself ..... after moving the inner header member against the outer one and adding the top and bottom cap to do the section above (test) I noticed the Inner member had moved back to it's original auto build position flush to the inner face of the stud. It's possible my x9 template plan is playing Havoc once again , or I did in fact do a framing rebuild while trying different hings here in the thread and forgot about it. I had thought (wrongly?) that once we manually moved or altered a framing member that it was no longer included in an Auto Rebuild , so may need to be more careful and use the Retain wall framing box in the Wall's DBX. M.

Ok , let me have a play in a Pure OOB CA X10 Plan.... cos apparently that works for you..... M.

It maybe another Framing Issue with the use of Older version Files from X9 etc , like the Header Labels Issue with plans brought forward , I'll have to have a play in an X10 only Plan. Are you saying you have a Framing Sub Section in the Component DBX ? or did you add that F1 ? M.

I made a report about the missing Framing in the Component DBX , but haven't heard if it is a Bug or just the "new way it's done" M.

Some images would help explain the problem ...use the Windows Snipping Tool Also please fill in your Signature ....see mine below for how to do that , thanks.... M.
