Not sure Chief has a "Clean Up Tool" , though perhaps tech support does? Though a lot of stuff like Preferences are (also?) in the Chief .ini File which may not be removed either? Mick.

Thanks and welcome to the Forum. Mick.

Looks like you might have found a bug from my quick play/test , it happens here too.... I tried the double Rollers . so please send it in. M.

Wouldn't a dedicated Saved Plan View (SVP) with a dedicated Default Set(Anno) / Layerset work for this? or are you thinking you need a whole different Layout for Planning vs Building? M.

What SW did you just purchase Chief Architect or one of the Consumer Home Designer Versions of the Software, like Pro or Architectural? I know there are several Users on the Forum that do Steel Buildings who maybe able to help , like @ComputerMaster86 and @basilbabaa As you can see most of us have a Forum Signature below or Posts , you could do yours as well , since I think you maybe here quite a bit and it'll save answering these same questions every time.... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662 M.

Bit hard to tell really as you won't get the "Results" seen/mentioned above with a simple Click of a button OOB, , it's as much about Lighting and Materials as anything else, and most take their work into a Photo App afterwards too for enhancements, though X15, with the new De-Noising filter is better than previous versions. M.

Well you should be following up with CyberPower for sure, since under warranty, and asking a few questions...... If allowed under Warranty I'd probably pull the AIO and reinstall it with fresh TIM (Thermal Grease) , hopefully you don't find it was forgotten or they only use the MFG's pre-applied TIM which maybe too little for a large CPU like a 13900k. With 3 fans it sounds like a 360mmm AIO ( you didn't mention brand/model ) which I'd do some research on personally re the 13900k, but I have been using Arctic Cooling's Freezer 240mm AIOs for the last 8-10yrs with no issues but the most likely scenario is, it maybe installed incorrectly or the TIM ( thermal interface Material ) is not done correctly, ie not enough or is not of high quality like Noctua's NT-H1 ( use NT-H2 on the 13900k perhaps) or Thermal Grizzly's Kyronaut. Not being an extreme Overclocker or even overclocking these days on the 11700k I have currently, I haven't noticed a performance difference in the two. https://noctua.at/en/nt-h1-3-5g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lFd4l7wX3I&t=6s https://www.thermal-grizzly.com/en/products M.

Not as ar As I know you must load the Maps yourself after the Material is Made..... If you need something to make PBR Maps , try PixPlant 5 , very reasonable cost especially for single users , like a one person company. M.

True, same here , it or x264vfw have been my goto's as well..... On Mac perhaps try HEIF or HEVC which I think both offer better compression. ( not sure about quality ) M.

* thanks for doing the Sig. It may well be that you only have 2GB of Video Memory (Ram) which is the minimum, as Chief has recommended at least 4GB now for several Versions with 8GB being better and now recommended for X15, though being on a Mac you can't to PBR RTRT yet. I assume you are running the latest Drivers for your GPU? https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02761/chief-architect-minimum-system-requirements.html#X15 Mick.

Techo Bloc already has a good SketchUp Texture Library and Patterns (AutoCad Hatches) available of their Products like Pavers, you should add them to your list to do a Full Chief Library with too, they already work with AutoCad, Dynascape, Pro Landscape and Structure Studios etc. It's just a suggestion of course https://www.techo-bloc.com/support/resources/technical-resources/designers-toolbox Mick.

My advice would of been to do the CAD in Chief , as Chief Walls LOVE to snap to CAD Lines , but I guess you've got it now since it appears you haven't been back to the Thread. M.

You haven't provided enough info for anyone to really help and you haven't done you Forum Signature either , so we don't have a clue what version you are using, camera type, or the hardware you are running it on. See Chopsaw's or My Signature to add some info to yours, so people don't need to ask every time you post ( I see you are new here ) https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662 M.

Try making the Layout Box Border's color Orange and make sure it is displayed in the ALDO and then just go page by page and see if you have an empty one ( or 2 ) delete any found and save the LO and close it, then re-open it and check again in the PB..... repeat till gone if needed.... M.

I have to say I am not a great fan of the new Library system either ( old wasn't ideal either though ) and am surprised this current system made it through Beta Test as is..... M.

Yes that has always been my understanding, as they are built on the same Branch. M.

Personally I have never noticed any difference in Game Ready Or Studio Drivers , ie I've never had the Studio Version work , when the GR Driver didn't for any particular Driver. For me , other than the afore mentioned Bad Drivers , the crashes have been associated with older Plan brought forward , eg a Plan originally started in X11 or X12, opened in X13 or X14, but I've never been able to track it to a certain action, though as you mentioned, I had crashes after trying to move the camera once open too. M.

There are known issues with the 525.xx series of Drivers , and Chief confirmed about a month ago that 528.24 or 528.49 are good, and are the current Drivers they recommend, The 531.xx Series has/had other Issues such as there Telemetry Data using 10-14% of the CPU after using a 3D App , though that has been fixed hopefully , I am back on 528.49 myself. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/16205-nvidia-driver-updates/?do=findComment&comment=290350 Mick.

Do you Run Macrium Reflect Full Version by chance? It is a known incompatibility for me , confirmed by both Chief and Macrium IF a Backup of C:\ Drive is run While Chief is open, Macrium stops Chief writing to Disk, which it does all the time for Undo Plans , AutoSaves, Archive Saves etc, for periods from 3 - 22 mins ( the longest I waited as a test ) . Took me quite a long time to figure out what was causing the Chief Lockups , but now I know , If needed I pause the Macrium Backup and Chief is instantly working again. Mick.

Hi, Not sure what version you are using as you haven't done your Forum Signature , but if this is in X15 ? please report the Issue with the Ceiling Level etc to Tech Support. M. for your Sig. : https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662

Did you try Ballooning the Gable Wall Up ( Wall's Structure Tab ) M.

Power is all 240v there AFAIK, which will easily kill you unlike 110v which may or may not, if a hazard is touched.... hence heavier duty wiring etc. Might also be about the age of the places stayed in too? ie the Razor only outlet , I do seem to remember those but haven't been there in many years now. M.

I'd think , making a small room with invisible Walls and making the Room Type Open Below should work. M.

Since you are in X12 ( X15 has new features for this ) search the Forum for Fascia Mounted Railings, there are even a few Samples plans included, and different methods to use. M.

It appears there is a small return wall perhaps 1"-2" long? which is set as a hip roof Is the floor of the porch at the correct level ? if so the Porch R.Plane and the main house R.Plane will not be the same height if that was the intention? M.
