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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 )

Nice Idea Doug but I think having that Video pop up every time I send to Layout my really slow down the process
