    I see you posted a 2nd vid , while I was "playing" , looks like you got it sorted out. I guess you use a template plan?, not sure if it has some "lost" images on it as when I opened your test plan it asked where some files from a project called Hoover , a siteplan .tif and something else.png , I can close chief and try it again if you need the exact names.

    Little strange as you found out too , even with the steel I beams spec'd all the materials stayed Wood , but it was easy enough to change the material to "Iron Rough" on those 3 joists in the 3d framing view , if fact I'm not sure you need that setting , looks like you need to go in and change it out to steel anyway. are your 2nd floor joists really 5 1/2" ? or should they be 9 1/2" too? Have a good Sat. M

    Does the Rim Joist Setting in the Building Framing DBX not work Larry ? think you'd need the Joists to be steel too ? or Does Chief call all edges of a deck a Rim? haven't tried it but know it's there.... edit ** I guess if you used that though you'd have steel I-beams for all the Rims on that level right? PS if you grab the 3dPolyline for the 2nd floor you can pull it down at the deck to fill the holes each side

    I think Joe might be right about wall issues, it looks like the same/similar issue as in a post from last week by Jay6390 that I ended up fixing for Jay off forum and it was a total PITA to make look right as the wall wouldn't heal itself / cover the studs etc after it was cut back to the stair stringer in an elevation view and I added the Crown molding drop.... perhaps I missed a setting or something to get the drywall to recover the studs somehow ? though I thought this was AUTO if inside a room with definition? Jay's original thread https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/5123-false-wall-to-cover-stairs/

    there was some weirdness in Open below Rooms , especially moldings in X6 , but I thought they fixed that in one of the Updates?

    Like Perry I use this feature everyday too , so wonder if there are any options? does it make any difference if shown in a menu or not ?
  10. Kbird1
    haven't seen that myself , is X6 updated to the latest version ? and your Video Drivers?
  11. Kbird1
    I usually get the model from Trimble , and their library is way bigger these days but often find Chief can't import the SU Texture , ie no chrome or Stainless etc. ( not that I can't fix it of course) , and the model is frequently upside down or backwards ,doesn't recognise the wall etc eg the K8003 BodySpray.

    Dennis maybe right , I have read a few threads with people with issues with AMD Cards and Chief , buying a Nvidia Card solved the issue , a forum search may find those threads , you might want to call TS today while they are open though and ask a few questions ,as I think Chief said they were working on a know issue but I am not sure I have seen this crashing issue reported before.

    if it's important to you, set up a Dualboot with Xp and Win 8 ,so you can install version 10 in XP and have it work correctly.

    I use a Logitech mouse/trackball ,and don't have this issue , you could perhaps try different drivers for your mouse
  15. Kbird1
    best to post the plan for stuff like this , there are just too many settings to guess at.... M.
  16. Kbird1
    +1 that would be great , I hate having to Open the DBX all the time....
  17. Kbird1
    just incase you aren't being funny ..........idle time is the millisecond setting on the Undo Preferences setting , I have seen it mentioned in another thread to try 100 (10th second) and Richard says to try 1000 here
  18. Kbird1
    I thought it was working as wanted/expected ,as you point out Joe, but thought he was saying it still wasn't working ...at least for him... M.
  19. Kbird1
    Maybe I misunderstand , but I opened your test plan and placed several new cabinets and they all placed with the 1/4 RD molding no problem.
  20. Kbird1
    nice and fairly simple too ... did you put the blocking in or is it auto generated?
  21. Kbird1
    hi Joe, I was watching the Plot Plan and Annotation CA Video yesterday and at about the 11.30-15:30 min mark ,they are playing with those settings in the PL DBX and setting up text styles etc if I understand your question correctly. it is video 5480 , can't seem to get you a direct link...... this one...http://video.chiefarchitect.com/?search=plot+plan M.

    Made a difference for me , here is the Post that Perry did with some pics of his settings for me last year, I have updated them a bit since as I now have a GTX970 , not a GTX470. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/321-nvidia-driver-settings/?hl=%2Bnvidia+%2Bsettings I also loaded the new CA Update today and got the latest Nvidia Drivers too while I was at it (350.12) and it seems a bit quicker.
