As longer as you are Backup up your Chief Data Folder the User Library should be getting backed up too , but I also right Click on the User Catalog about once a month and "Export Library", and save the File to my external HDD.... a side benefit is that will highlight any issues with missing Textures. This "Export" saved me a few months back when Chief somehow wiped out my User Library......

I believe Greg was referring to an External USB3 Harddrive (HDD), I also advise it , usually a 4 - 10TB depending on Budget, and also making sure you use a daily/weekly automatic backup scheme , not only for Lib. Files but all your Client Folders and Files, Documents, Pics. , Music etc. ( The Cloud is a good "off-site" backup - always have 2 copies ) Though, it is not 100% necessary to save them, as if you have current SSA they can be downloaded again, I personally do though, and Chief has about 420 bonus libraries at the moment , and you should make it a Habit eg. monthly to also save your User Catalog as back-up " just in case". Mick.

Only use the Polyline Driveway/Road/Sidewalks --- they will simplify your life as they can be edited the same way and as easily as any other CAD Line/Object. M.

The Plan file credit is all Larry's ( HumbleChief) Damon , I just added a few Tips to the discussion..... Mick.

Should do........ it;s a good example Plan......... M.

Couple more Tips...... Set you Terrain Break Transition Distance to 0 for immediate height differences Larry and centered on the wall at least at 1st .......... And make sure you pull the TR right to the Wall or a hair inside it , so it looks "cleaner" at the transition and Chief can't take over control for that 1 foot or so to the walls , as if you don't take control CA will.

Yes same issue here , been frustrated all morning by this one..... M.

Use a Foundation Wall, ( and edit in Elevation) not Chief's Terrain Walls which have there own Terrain Break built in but you have less control like when you want the top of the wall Level , not following the Terrain. Mick.

sometimes all it takes is moving the Terrain break 1/2" left or right I normally use a narrow E.R. 2"- 4 " so most of it is hidden in the wall and for this probably interior is flat is off And make sure none of the Elev. Data is crossing or touching each other , or they will fight for control of the TP I make my Elev. line style Orange and give regions a 95% orange fill as well to make this easier to see , the orange will look darker anywhere it overlaps another ER for example. Terrain Breaks I make purple .....and dashed usually

Someone may have turned off the Blend with Texture Box on the Texture tab of the material , so you are only seeing the base material in 3D , without the blended dark pattern color... Mick

You need to Raise them all 12 inches..... which is easy with T&R use 12" (up) in the Z-Delta ( for down you would use -12" ) Mick.

Normally I use a Foundation Wall for more Control and add my own Terrain Break along the top off the wall with an Elevation Region either side of the wall, so in your case you might need to add say a 4" wide Elev. Region along the bottom of the wall too, set to the correct height ( may need to play a bit ) Mick.

bit more info here too........

A photo of the actual building and perhaps a Test Plan ( <14mb) with the same Materials would help too ...so others can "play" ( I am assuming you can't post current full plan , hence the test Plan instead ) Mick.

It's not the GPU...... I have a 3080Ti and 3080 here......still random and unpredictable crashes in PBR - RTRT just like X13 though X14 is generally "more Stable" - as well as assorted other issues like extras lines in Layout in Elevation views. ( Surface Triangle Lines I believe ) - Objects set at Absolute height being set back to finished Floor etc. *mostly related to Projects done in X12 and 13 perhaps ?

Use the Move Up/Down Display (only) of Roof Planes Tool on the Edit tool Bar so they all show on one Floor. ( the roof plane is not actually moved , just the floor no# it shows on ) Mick.

Have a look in the KB for an article on doing Saltbox Roofs..... Though it maybe easier to do manually depending on the situation, I'm not sure Auto-Build will handle this well, all that is SOP at least to start. Mick.

It's climbing the side of the Terrain ...see the grass height either side, try fixing the Terrain ( not the hole) as all it's doing is sitting on the terrain.... pretty sure I fixed this last time I played in this plan ......a couple of months ago? ..... M.

This does sound like the Issue to me too M.

Pic appears to show a plan open..... I have not seen this Issue on PC myself, but I have other minor Issues in X14. M.

I don't think No#. 4 is applicable myself..... Mick.

I also work this way and have Fillers and Panels pre-made from Cabinets for when I need them, this also allows for Dimensioning of those elements. ( chief won't dimension to Auto fillers/Panels) M.

Thanks for the followup Alan.... Mick.

Thanks Mark..... I hadn't had time to look at this again.... Mick.

Depending on what you are trying to do , you could delete ALL the Framing and then only Build the Framing in the Walls, Roof Planes Rooms etc you want. M.
