  1. I am located in the Netherlands (a small country in a swamp) Just got fiber, I get 80mbs/ 80 mbs , as advertised, when connecting to servers in Amsterdam.

    I also tested servers in London, Moscow, and some place called "New york city", I got similarly good results although the pings went way up, the futher away I went.

     

    some servers give disappointing results a connection in Japan tested at 11down / 12 up, with a 296 ms ping!

  2. Very good stuff, by the way there is an old Chief trick  to make small holes in the ceiling platform.

     

    You cannae (Scottish) make small square holes, but you can make small triangular ones.

     

    If you fashion a small equilateral triangle it will work, one possibility would be to  alter the strait sides into curves, which if you are careful will give you a circle. Now try and find a use for these (can lights) maybe

  3. Tommy. I don't see the point of this, it assumes you have X6, and would then go back to X5, is that likely.

     

    I think it would be better to post the files in a format that can be read by by other versions, in the first place

  4. Basically most doors are slabs, some have embellishments, when these features are lower than the "slab" of the door, they will import without difficulty.

     

    When the embellishments rise above this slab surface, Chief will "see" the whole thickness of the door. you will find the door does not hinge in the correct place, and the hardware, handles and such will not attach to the doors surface but instead to an invisable "bounding box" and will appear to be floating a short distance away from the doors surface.

     

    To prevent this happening, during import in the 3d dialog box select "specify origin" make X=0, Y= the height of the embellishment (on the inside of the door),  and Z=0

     

    Next select the sizing tab, and make depth "Y" = the thickness of the slab part of your door.

     

    Should import perfectly.

  5. Try a i7 4930K vs. i7 4770K search on the net.

    If you must watch your budget the 4770's should be cheaper, and in addition the 4930's require the more expensive motherboard.

     

    Also the 4770k is about to be upstaged by the faster 4790k.

  6. I presume you mean a lamp consisting of many small lamps, this is difficult for Chief to do as the  large number of light sources tend to overwhelm Chiefs rendering capability. It is almost certainly better to give your LEDs a highly emmisive material, and then add a light source.  This idea has been tackled before, some ideas can be found on the old Chief forum, try searching under "rope lighting"
