You could Clone the 1TB Samsung SSD to a 1TB Samsung NVME like the 970 Plus and then use Windows abilities to move User Library Folders to the SSD eg My Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos. Been doing it for years myself , and since Chief's Data Folder is in My Documents I usually make a dedicated Folders on the faster NVME for the Undo and Temp Folders. You could also in addition add a 2 - 4TB internal HDD fairly Cheaply , going 4TB would also allow for Room to run backups too eg with Macrium Reflect. M.

Nov.10th 2021 DCH Desktop Studio Driver https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/183577/en-us STD Desktop Studio Driver https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/183578/en-us New Studio Drivers Today..... Mick

Please send in a Report and a Plan / Layout if possible , Tech. Support has Checked the Thread and my Video now and are hoping for more reports so the Development Team can look at them. TS has said they are using Nvidia Driver Version 471.96 when I asked, and we could try it or the very latest Drivers as well, but they are not sure it will help. Added : Link to my Nvidia Drivers Thread if anyone want to try different Versions..... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/16205-nvidia-drivers-updated/ Mick. T.S. REPLY : Hi Mick I'm currently using driver version 471.96 from August, but you could try updating to the latest 496.49 driver to see if there is any difference.Thank you for the information and for attaching those files. I'll submit what you've given me here to our Development department. Also, thank you for encouraging the other users to submit their information, it'll hopefully help the Development department address this issue sooner rather than later.

Eric is likely right , if you weren't getting the dropdown after clicking insert macro.... ie small bug others have not found yet.... M.

Seems to be working fine here , so I am not sure why it not there , you are using Chief Premier X13 correct? would be good if you do your Forum Signature so People at least know what software you are using.... How too.... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662 Mick

Nov. 10th. 2021 Updated : see 1st Post for PDF. Mick.

Doug , you uploaded the wrong plan.....

Tech Support has replied , they could not reproduce the Issue on there 1080 , so I have also sent in a Test Layout and Plan. They also wanted a copy of Chief Message Log and a System Log , theses KB Articles tell you how to do that and add them you your Reports. These articles go over how to find and attach copies of those files:https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02908/locating-the-message-log.htmlhttps://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01867/finding-information-about-your-system.html

Thanks for letting everyone know .... you might want to post over the answer for others over on Hometalk too.... Reference Number: KB-03125 https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03125/troubleshooting-error-messages-associated-with-the-program-s-data-folder.html normally you would be better posting questions on HomeTalk not Chieftalk as we have no experience in your version of the software here.... Hometalk https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/ Mick.

I have reported this issue to Tech. Support , and I would advise the readers of the Thread to do the same, so it is hopefully fixed in X13 and we don't have to wait for X14. Mick.

In X12 you can also Reframe individual Roof Planes by selecting them and use the Build Framing for selected Item Icon...... ( works for walls too ) Might want to do your Sig. too , then you won't have to remind everyone you are on X12 each time.....

Sounds like the culprit to me too ...... make sure it is enabled/On.

Yes , I was just trying to think of another reason the layout may not look correct if it wasn't the Known Text Issue. I think the Text issue maybe related to the number of Pixels (ppi) rather than resolution of different monitors, but it seems Chief can not fix it as it has been around for 2-3 verions now. M.

That won't change unfortunately as Room Planner was abandoned in July 2019 I think it was..... maybe more news on the mobile Forum about it. M.

Benq has a 35 ...maybe that was the 36" you saw as I don't think 36 is a common size. Most major manufacturers have 32" 2k and 4K models , eg MSI, Gigabyte, LG, Samsung, Dell, Asus, Acer etc. M.

I like my Benq's too , they're 32" (BL3200PTs) VA Flicker Free from there Design/CAD/CAM range , the new model is the PD3200Q I know several with the 27" version who like it too, but can definitely recommend dual screens for Chief. If you don't game then 75-100hz should be fine but you can get reasonably priced 32" VA 144hz and 165hz monitors now , and pricing of VA may allow going dual vs 1 high end IPS monitor, but even they are coming down too. I personally found 2k or 2160x1440 good but others ...with better eyes....like 4k M.

mean? Sometimes you will need to manually update the Layout either with the circle Icon on the Toolbar (2) when the layout box is selected or Via the Update Icon up on the Main Toolbar (1) , Text and Dimensions are pretty good at updating immediately though.

there is a known issue with Text, when opening plans at different resolutions, been around for quite some time but no fix as yet , the fix is to open the text block , click OK (may not be needed) and close it again..... In some cases it will be faster to go All Layers Off > Turn Text only back on, group select all, open the DBX and close the DBX . * are you sure the Layout is fully Updated? M.

There was some fixes ( 2.19) in the Nov.2nd Update (pdf below) that may have helped this issue? I have not tested it though.... chief-architect-x13-update-notes-23.3.0.81.pdf

A Room Materials list only includes what is IN the Room , ie inside the Drywall line ....... hence no Framing Try an Area Polyline Material list instead or one of the other Choices.... M.

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

Thanks Perry , confirmed here too now unfortunately Mick.

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.
