3D Solid (elevation) Area into Material Schedule
Kbird1 replied to buzzsaw204's topic in General Q & A
I thought this was possible now in X14 but perhaps not? In which case Wall Material Regions could be used instead if you need a Schedule and a Materials list. M. -
Are you talking about the Preferences Setting for minimum Line Weight or you set the line Weight to 1? Line Weights are generally controlled by the Layer they are on.....

X13 ---- 23.4.1.8 Update out today - PDF Attached.
Kbird1 replied to Kbird1's topic in General Q & A
Glad to help..... most of my Clients won't use a beta Version, some as still on X12 due to X13 Issues , so my fingers are crossed that this combined with the latest Nvidia Drivers cure a few of my ( and their ) issues. M. -
3D Solid (elevation) Area into Material Schedule
Kbird1 replied to buzzsaw204's topic in General Q & A
From your pics, you may need to redefine the Material as AREA not Linear AND you need to Edit the Materials in the Components Tab of the Solid * Warning X14 just Hung (crashed) when I changed it to AREA here........ okay 4 1/2 mins later Chief allowed me back in...... grrrrr It seems Chief , even with Area specified ( above) is using depth X width for the area calculation .... not Height (thickness for a solid) x width Update..... The Surface area is being calculated correctly so , you can use you own macro in the Count row of the Component Tab to get what you need currently though this shouldn't be need (owner.surface_area/2).round(0) for larger areas this is better (owner.surface_area.floor/2).floor -

I'd have assumed that was ON (checked) by Default for a leader line too ....not in X14? ....or was that you M.

Currently testing the latest Studio Driver ( 512.59) but have not found there to be any difference , since Studio is based on the Game Driver.

Part and parcel of Chief's Room Based Paradigm I think, even if the room is only defined with an invisible Wall so you man need to take control of each "Room's" Default Light Set , ie don't use Automatic but as you are still 10 Series Nvidia I am not 100% sure if it all act quite the same with the new Astral 3D engine.

In Interior PBRs Chief tends to light the Room the Camera is in and "forget about the rest" try switching the Light set from Automatic to Default Light Set and make sure all rooms lights are ON in the Default Set. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/34372-why-are-my-exterior-and-interior-lights-on-in-camera-mode-but-not-in-ray-trace/?do=findComment&comment=267882

The is a difference in PBR when you use the Automatic Setting and when you use the "Default Light Set " , Chief has always "balanced" Interior Lights with the Sun Lumen Setting too , so it is not always easy to figure out the issue with a particular View. Sometimes as in the Recessed lights below required me to turn One on and off to Active them all once the Default Set was active. sometime Lighting is wrong too if looking from one room to another as Chief uses the "Room" ie looking from a Family Room back into the Kitchen in an open Plan House. These examples are in a test plan in X14, I just poked my head through the wall for the interior snips.... Automatic Default Set On

Not than I am aware of ......and is only handy IF you need multiples of the same Item , I'd prefer it auto let go of the Object and if I neded to could select it ofr copy or multicopy as needed. Particularly frustrating when you go from Plan to Layout , eg an Elevation View and a Library note comes into Layout on the cursor and of course the text is all the wrong size so no good anyway.......

I did (pink) Apologies if I have accidently "started" something here.... Mick.

I think this was happening early in X13 too IIRC for some and also related to multiple Screens in use. I tend to only use the Side Windows on secondary monitors now due to toolbar issues early in X13..... you could double check you are not running Nahimic sound software on your system , it is a Known incompatibility with Chief , I have it on my laptop , so I have a post in the Tips Forum about it. Mick.

Thanks , you may have hit the nail on the Head , it just would not let me back into the GUI at all. M.
