    for me it has been around since Beta , so I assumed it was already being worked on until I saw the Post about T.S. saying someone needed a new GPU after seeing the Flashing during an online help session.

    Leave it on Zero..... The issue here I think though is you need to make a new Dimension Default for working on smaller Areas eg CAD Details.... ie. make a 1" scale , 2" scale and 3" scale Dimension default. ie 1" Scale you haven't done you Sig. so no idea which version you are or etc https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662

    Upgrade

    Kbird1 replied to ABCINC's topic in General Q & A

    A common problem for those with older systems , particularly older Videocards which do not support Shader Model 6 which is required with X13's new Graphics Engine called Astral. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03146/identifying-the-shader-model-of-your-graphics-card-in-windows.html https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/32338-need-help-with-13x-and-graphics-card/?tab=comments#comment-254327 M.

    Yep , was just giving you some info and a possible other way to do it till they do.... but it's 6 of one or 1/2 doz. of the other & if you pull the roof plane to far into the wall the siding , then sheathing etc will disappear... in 3D views M.

    Probably a good plan as my laptop has the same specs as you posted above and it is now over a year old....( last Aug.) I think that is the 2020 Model ,( old stock) not the 2021 model , and the 2020 model should of come with a good discount..... Mick.

    I believe Chief "sees" these as Wall Ledgers which by default are sized per the Ridge Default size spec's if the roof plane touches a wall, but as noted this is hardcoded ....maybe it's better to spec the Ridge per the Rafters and just resize the ridge once auto framing is off? ....at least till it is fixed... as it would be a rare case when the wall ledger does not match the Rafter size. M.

    Do you mean you just got this ? and someone told you it is the latest and greatest? ........I hope not.... as for $3000 you should of gotten the newer 2021 Version which would have the 3000 series videocard in it eg a 3070 or 3080 perhaps if on sale. https://www.razer.com/gaming-laptops/Razer-Blade-17/RZ09-0406BEC3-R3U1 How to identify a Razer Blade model If it is in fact a year old? ( or nearly) I would start a case with Razor just incase there is an issue and a warranty repair is needed, while you try other things as suggested here...... Mick.

    I have not been in Layout this week to test, but are you sure the Update earlier this week didn't fix this? , it has fixed some other issues for me..... the PDF.... chief-architect-x13-update-notes-23.3.0.81.pdf

    Hard to tell without the plan but may have something to do with the (Brick) Pony Wall ...... try it without the ponywall..... M.

    I must be thinking of a different Schedule I was playing with in X12...... A marquee Select and Add to label should work though and wouldn't take too long... M.
  12. Kbird1
    They can be added to your Templates' Roof Label , no need to manually add to "every roof plane" * Edit: You'd need to marquee select Roof planes and add to the Label M.
  13. Kbird1
    You don't say how you are getting that number but if it is a macro ? .ceil should round it up to the nearest full number. ie : (macro).ceil M. *if you want some Roof Schedule Macros, try PMing Chopsaw. @Chopsaw
  14. Kbird1
    My guess is one of the Fixes required the .ini file to be updated , overwriting those settings/positions. I have noticed quite a few of the "Fixes" myself , so this fixes a number of small niggles at least , but no mention of the Black Flashing Sending to Layout or sometimes saving Elevation Views. M.

    It seems Chief has release a new Update at the end of the Business Day ..... Chief_Architect_Premier-23.3.0.81-Win64.msi Here is the PDF : chief-architect-x13-update-notes-23.3.0.81.pdf

    They are still Recessed Cans , it's just the Bulb is now LED , so whether you do that with Notes of make a change to the CAD Block is upto you, this KB article should show you how to make it L not R if you want to : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00805/editing-2d-cad-blocks-assigned-to-3d-symbols.html M.

    Happy to help ...and you are right ....learning the way Chief "thinks" ( or works) does help , at 1st I thought you had the reference layer on but that was actually your CAD Imported Layer, , so the two walls were not the 1st thing I looked at. M.
  18. Kbird1
    Oh yes there is turn on your Reference Layer and you will see your Basement Walls are coming right upto the Roof Plane as they are not under the 1st Floor walls...(Align walls below or above needed) looks like you moved something and the Foundation is not set to auto reBuild so... There is actually two walls there as CA walls always "look" for roof Planes above them ( or another wall/floor )
  19. Kbird1
    Nice Idea Doug but I think having that Video pop up every time I send to Layout my really slow down the process
  20. Kbird1
    Draw CAD lines same as your Blue line and around the outer perimeter of the Room on left, then convert the closed Polyline into a Polyline Solid and set you desired Height and material. M.
  21. Kbird1
    Did you change the Window Glass in the 3 Panel Window to the same material as your Sash? ( Brown?) , the PS should not be needed ....... M.
  22. Kbird1
    No , at least not that I am aware of , we had to ask nicely to get that list back a couple of versions ago when they moved all the Patterns to the Library. You can still import Patterns , for example from AutoCAD through the Import Dialog too if needed. M.
  23. Kbird1
    That's what I have in my Library for my Plans but this was a New Project for a new Client ( their template) and I hadn't made them all yet, as I was just throwing things in ready to make changes once I got some answers on depths etc. , so I just used one I had in the plan already and copied it along the wall as needed , which may explain why I see this happening randomly , as I was not expecting base cabinets not under the Top to also effect it. M.

    Not just me and you I started an thread on the "Blinking" Issue.. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/32432-send-to-layout-and-save-view-issue-black-screen-flashes/?tab=comments#comment-254849

    Not sure as I have no idea what you mean
