This might help................. https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00452/building-an-a-frame-structure.html M.

I try to keep my Thread on Nvidia Drivers Updated , at least to Versions known to me to be good with Chief , which as in this case is not always Nvidia's latest. M.

This is a Known Issue , and according to Ed Schafer ( Chief Developer ) Chief is working with Nvidia to find the Problem as it happens with all Drivers after 526.98 https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/16205-nvidia-drivers-updated/?do=findComment&comment=285783 (Scroll up in the thread above for Driver links) There is a Known Incompatibilities Page but it currently doesn't list this Issue on last check here : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/products/known-incompatibilities.html There is also my own thread on incompatibilities, and it does, not sure how many have seen it though ...over here: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/31335-known-incompatibilities-with chief-architect-software/ M.

Me either unfortunately , we may need someone to do another Suggestion for it M.

Be happy too if I can find a set of reproducible steps, though I know in all cases it wasn't when I closed a Window. It usually repeats 3 times and if it happens a 4th then it is usually hard locked and doesn't CTD like when it repeats 2 or 3 times. M.

I always do a Clean Install through the Driver Installer, ( I don't use Geforce Experience) though I have not done a full DDU uninstall if that is what you are referring too? As mentioned only happening in Plans started in X12. Any idea why the Auto-save appears to not be working , lost over an Hr today now with this 3rd crash. Thanks. M. * I worked the rest of the Day with no 3D cameras left open while working in other views and had no crashes .

Still happening in 526.98 as well , and this Driver is the suggested one to Use...... followed by and then a replay of both at least once or twice more, then it crashes either to Desktop ( no save ) or is just locked up till I have to end it.... * this is in Elevation , however there is a Camera Open in another Tab too. Any comment Ed? @Chief_QA M. Yah ! beautiful another RED smartie for asking if Ben had any more info from Nvidia about this ongoing Issue.... It would see Auto Save isn't working properly either , the Layout hasn't been saved since 11.05 this AM ( now 4.25pm ) and neither the PP Plan or AB Plans have been saved since 3.53pm even though it set for 5 mins along with a hourly archive. M .

Update Re: 526.86 - it is causing crashing in X12 based Plans for me with M-sizes errors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 526.98 is recommended by CA ......all Drivers after 526.98 have issues CA is working with Nvidia on. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 526.98 11/16/22 Studio driver is the latest driver that is approved to be used, the later drivers have an issue, we are working with Nvidia to resolve this issue.

Just an Update re 526.86 today I am back in a Plan started in an X12 Template and it is crashing with M-Size Errors for me this is typical ----- in pure X14 plans on 526.86 eg last week no issues at all. *just about all my crashes are related to old Plans brought forward. Mick.

You need 526.86 or 526.98 as recommended by CA ......all Drivers after 526.98 have issues CA is working with Nvidia on. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/16205-nvidia-drivers-updated/?do=findComment&comment=281778 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 526.98 11/16/22 Studio driver is the latest driver that is approved to be used, the later drivers have an issue, we are working with Nvidia to resolve this issue.

that goes both ways , I need to find sometime to have a good long play with TM and see if I really need itin my work flow..... I had hoped for better things with a 3080Ti and PBR-RTRT but as yet that hasn't happened. Hmmmm I edit the 1st post of some of my Topics like the Nvidia Driver Thread often and I though you could edit the Title too? M.

Nice, looks like the hard work is paying off Steve. I think you can remove the word Grass from the Thread Title now M.

Did you join it with the Join Tool properly? , you will get extra lines too if there is even the slightest mis-alignment of two surfaces M.

I was wonder that myself actually , so didn't explore further after I noticed the Simplify polyline tool.... Good point it is a weird one.... Plan is right here on the Forum , just send it in..... M.

I agree , put it over in Suggestions so we can all upvote it..... At least these Days you can Open two Layouts at once which makes C&P easier but being able to RC a detail and paste it to another plan would be great. * I asked for it here but another Entry on the list would help.... as they noted my suggestion already https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/35604-allow-importing-of-cad-details-including-schedules-in-cad-details/?tab=comments#comment-275668 M.

Looks like the same issue as last time ........ your CAD work is not "Clean" apparently ...... there must be a spurious break point or something in the original cad line work, as soon as I selected the Red "Tub" the "Simplify Polyline" Tool came up on the Toolbar . I can't see it so it must be small.

Chief no longer allows Transfers of Licenses , the only choice now is to subscribe to the New ( since Jan.9th 2023) Subscription Plan M.

Oh yes the CTRL key is a must , as is zooming in ( mouse wheel needed 100% ) to be accurate I was suggesting using a grid of CAD lines spaced with dimensions , so everything is balanced and 100% accurate..... I'll leave Glenn to explain the "Inserts into Wall" it's not a Tool I use much..... @glennw M.

me too actually , having 2 right buttons on the Elecom Huge trackball is handy ..... M.

Chief's Dim. Tools won't locate Auto Panels added to Cabinet sides, and the side effect of that setting would mean a Dim for every door edge ( and cabinet ) as you drag a dim. line across a run of cabinets I believe, hence the tips above to make 3/4 or 1 1/2" End Panels out of Base ( or Wall) Cabinets instead. Mark has some good tips on doing this , and is why/how I started doing this, not sure I found all his Tips above though ? @MarkMc Mick.

You made a post about something very similar last May , but I'm not sure you returned to it still using Point Markers.......here you go.......... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/34537-cabinet-panels/?do=findComment&comment=268751 Also Vid. and plan here on making a 1 1/2" Filler or End panel https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/31824-15-filler-with-panel-attached-vid/?tab=comments#comment-250551 M.

Only if you need an ARC or curved section , if you break a Normal Wall it won't allow the use of the ARC Tool ( unless that changed in X14 I didn't try it ) PS..... Chief LOVES to snap to CAD Lines , so you can use them and setup them with Dimensions and then "snap" the Wall/3D Solid Points to them. M.

Not sure but maybe how you have your Hot Keys setup up differently too? ESC should work as well ...... FYI: Space is "Select Objects" ESC is "Cancel selection/Previous Command" Mick.

It used too, always has but we had this issue in X11 or X12 I think ? and it came back in X14 , and none of the updates have fixed it.... M.

That is my suggestion if affordable....... but if you can get a 2nd hand (used) 2000 series like a 2070 Super , it mybe enough to last you a few years yet If that is a Solid you can add an ARC ( curve ) by adding a small angled piece ( add a break) and then use the ARC Tool and then the Tangent Tool to smooth it out if needed.
