I'm also a OneDrive user and the only complaint I have is CA needs to make the User Catalog a collection of separate physical files. Even with a 50/50 internet connection, my 15GB user lib can take upwards of 20 minutes to update--effectively locking the file--after I exit Chief. If I try to open CA again before the update is complete...

Can never have too much objet. Thanks, Rene!

Thanks, Eric! I ended up drawing a rectangle around the entire shebang and aligning the top edge with the terrain perimeter line I wanted to align originally. Select rectangle on the line>Edit Area>Worked like a champ. Not sure why this didn't work using the terrain perimeter.

I'm having an issue in X10 using the Edit Area (All Floors) tool to rotate my site plan to a know reference line using the Make Parallel tool. I select the terrain perimeter (on the line segment I wish to align with the reference line), then select Edit Area (All Floors). I then select the Make Parallel tool, set to rotate the entire polyline, and select my reference line. Everything rotates, but a line segment of the terrain that I did not select gets the perpendicular treatment. I know I've done this before, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what user error is involved. See attached. (Notes in plan) Lot Trouble.zip

X10 released today - best and worst features
jcaffee replied to Joe_Carrick's topic in General Q & A
Brian, my issue is how X10 handles reflections in RT. All materials ray trace differently vs. X6, X7, etc. I can set materials that get good reflectivity in PBR that are dull--without depth--in ray trace. As the Core Catalog materials are/were (I haven't tested all the released version yet) optimized for PBR, that means now I need to go jigger everything. AND! And, all of the manufacturer materials had settings reliant on the reflective property. Since that property no longer exists--well, my point is that something that was a known is now an unknown. I would rather have seen a new PBR materials lib instead of the reuse route. -
Still the same old HP workstation. Great number crunchers and ok 2D work, but really lacking on the 3D video subsystems.

My magic number was 3.5" for this roof, but it can vary based on the rafter tail profile.

Harry, CA, by default, will add a light to any room where there is none. So, at a minimum, you'll need to add a light source to each room and then turn it off or adjust it to appear as you want. As for outside stuff, the black point light only works so far as there is a room defined (see default light above) otherwise it's sun settings. You must have either default sun or actual sun settings defined, then set it to black light color or a nighttime hour or both. Once you get your scene sufficiently dark, then start adding light sources and fixtures set to give you the desired effect.

Was there ever a resolution to the watercolor-to-pdf issue. Really annoying.

Okey dokey Charlie, I'll give it a shot. Order submitted.

What filetype is output? Can we see a legible screenshot(s)?

Well, you asked for dark. Here's one that's a bit friendlier...

Add an exterior point light source and make the color black.

Jared, sorry won't be at UGM--bad heart and all that it entails. DropBox Business now requires 3 users, not 5. OneDrive library features are only available through Office365 Business with SharePoint. (SharePoint Online may be available separately, but I haven't looked into that in quite awhile.) I'm fairly sure that https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/profile/75-johnny/ 's firm is successfully using SharePoint, perhaps he will chime in.
