Well one other option I see now I read you SIG. is to pass only the 2080Ti down and get yourself a 3080Ti, 3090 or even a 4090 if you think your SIM needs it...I don't think a 4090 is needed for Chief, it just isn't pushing the 3D capabilities of the card ( or DirectX12 ) to the limits IMHO. I game occasionally too, so went with the 3080Ti (EVGA FTW3, at the time the 3090 was WAY overpriced, not now) and am happy with Frame rates etc , of course if you have the budget a 4090 won't hurt If you don't mind scratch and dent..... EVGA still has some 3080Ti stock..... they have officially stopped making Graphics cards though, at least Nvidia ones for now so no 4000 series from them. https://www.evga.com/products/ProductList.aspx?type=8&family=GeForce+30+Series+Family&chipset=RTX+3080+Ti

You can't "down-save" Chief Plans, there is no backward compatibility only forwards. ( never has been actually ) Also might be worth a look at the reasons Not to Paint Can Exterior Walls in chief as Steve Mentions.... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/31850-paint-can-tool-material-painter-best-practices/?tab=comments#comment-250698 M.

You could do it by turning off the layer > Walls, Layers and then making the Walls, Normal layer - Line Color Gray but not sure if that is the "look" that is required? I also use the same gray (RGB 152,152,152) for the Doors, Windows, Stairs etc in the Roof Framing Layer Set. ( Make sure Walls, Main Layer only is OFF to see Walls full width. )

For a $100 I would go 64GB as I think that system is easily a 5yr system for Chief and who knows what's coming.... (mis-read I thought it was a 32vs 64GB question, not 4800vx 5200mhz - so save the $100.) And probably a lesser Videocard ( 3080Ti? ) - unless you can use a 4090? Gamer too ? and use some of the extra $$$ on a 2TB NVME and a 4TB internal HDD or SSD (Storage + Backups) , maybe two if you are a pack Rat M.

You could look at the BF Sales or at EVGA's BF Sale, they have 1600 Series and Up available for $200 and up..... 2000 series from $250 etc https://www.evga.com/articles/01593/black-friday-2022/

Try the Wall Layers Edit Tool > on the Edit toolbar , in Plan View and pull the Layers to the Corner if need ( you will see 4-5 edit handles ) M.

Also Ok here on Nvidia Driver 526.86 GR Driver..... both X13 and X14 M.

No, it's not a Dormer as you mentioned I believe, just the second Story Wall inset say 400-600mm from the Wall below, with a "notch" cut in the lower Roof Plane to expose it. Mansard roofs are always a bunch of Manual Work in CA but do-able ( start Auto and then move the two planes as needed ) especially this one which seemed easier than one with true Dormers, which CA tends to have Issues with joining the Interior Walls in my experience, but here the Walls are not Cut but bumped against the Roof Framing. Mick.

Okay...was just wondering why you are having to pay for the Repair / replacement... the AIO and labor should be $0?

Last time I downloaded them, the textures were just .jpgs ? unfortunately you have to get the Hatch patterns separately and add them to the Material you are using in Chief as Chief doesn't have TechnoBloc as a Chief Library yet. @Chief_Content

Chief walls always look for a roof plane above them and Stop if found , this is standard , so if something else is going on you will need to provides pics ( screen snips) and perhaps the Plan or a test plan showing the Issue. Mick.

My 1st question would be why isn't MSI replacing it under Warranty? Free for upto 1yr normally.... Personally, I've been watercooling for about 8 yrs, never had a failure of the pump, but have replaced some Fans, as I seem to prefer Arctic Cooling's Fan "noise" vs Corsair's AIO Fans for example and am currently running (2) of Arctic's Freezer 240mm AIO's ( a V1+V2 ). I did use Noctua Coolers previously too , but as an ex-Overclocker found they couldn't keep up when the system was loaded, but have heard good things about the current generation like Mark's D15, if you are in the "no water in my PC" group. ( I've never seen/had a leak myself , but YMMV. ) Mick.

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. Ed Schafer SW Testing Manager Chief Architect Inc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Latest Drivers, reported to give a boost in performance especially on 3000 Series Cards. If you use Geforce Experience then it should update to this version automatically in the next few days. These links will take you to the direct download page at Nvidia...........

You can download the PDF off the Help Menu if not already done? and Use F1 at any-time for context sensitive Help too. M.

Couldn't agree more, it is an age old issue with Chief ............ there is more info on this Tip Page.....

It is Automatic (hard - coded), see page 481 of the Manual , however you can move them once you turn off "Auto Refresh" here is a manual Snip............... Mick.

You can add the Icon to your Toolbar as well - I suspect I may have done it years ago if you don't see it?

It's not some kind of molding it is the edge of the Ceiling Drywall (1/2") .............which we have to put up with unfortunately.

Yes, increase the Wall thickness as Rob mentioned, NOT the Newel Post Size , Chief ALWAYS centers the Newel in the Wall. M.

This sounds like the Issue to me as well , each SVP , should have a dedicated Default Set (Annotation), Layerset etc along with dedicated CAD Layers, text etc etc. so making a change in 1 SVP does not effect the look of other SVP by accident. Takes a bit to setup 1st time but well worth it , if you aren't the type to be constantly checking "Active Defaults" before doing ANYTHING ....... * I'd also like the New SVP to Auto renaming/create those new Settings for each default set, layer set and cad layer. M.

Try 516.94 too , it has been stable on all my computers..... Mick.

Might be only for exterior walls that one for views from outside the home....... There is a Make Invisible Icon to on the edit toolbar too, which works to take a shot but needs turning back on again after....

Sounds like this to me as well, you general wall defaults may have been on Resize about Outer Layer previously and is now on the Default of outside of main Layer... probably reset by the upgrade , press Alt-Q to find out.....

Hi , you haven't done your Forum signature so I don't know what version you have but in X14 if you turn off Flat sides it should give you what you need.

There are known Issues with these Drivers , try 516.94 Studio or 522.25 Game Ready instead..... I have a Thread I update with good Drivers fairly regularly for Chief Here : M.
