  1. Some places call it a rafter plate, some a roof plate. overlay plate.... In a framing view turn on the roof planes, select the reverse gable and open the dbx, select structure and at the very bottom is roof overframing with options - choose sheathing...overlay.pdf
  2. Go to preferences, render - check the video card status and make sure the laptop is using the Nvidia GPU. Go to device manager, (just type in search), Display adapters and right click the video card - make sure its functioning properly. Check for driver updates (same location)
  3. Hi Don't know if you meant in your post; that you are working off your network. If you are, that is not recommended. BACKING UP YOUR FILES It is always a good idea to create backup copies of all your important files on your computer. It is strongly recommended, however, that you never save directly: l Across a network, such as onto a server; l Onto removable media such as a USB thumb drive. l Across the Internet. Instead, copy your files to such locations only after you have saved them on your computer’s hard drive and exited the program. Similarly, you should never open files saved in these locations. Copy the files to the local hard drive, and then open them. See Opening and Importing Files on page 44. Archive folders are used by Chief Architect to manage prior versions of your files. You should not view these files as a substitute for your own backup routine, and should never save a file in an archive folder. See Auto Archive on page 42. When backing up your Chief Architect files, consider backing up not only your .plan and .layout files, but your custom user data, as well - including library content, toolbar configurations, and textures. This custom data is all located in the Chief Architect Premier Data folder, so it can be easily backed up. See Chief Architect Premier Data on page 37. You can, if you wish, create a folder inside the Data folder for your .plan and .layout files, as well. Further: DATA FOLDER NAME AND LOCATION The name of the Chief Architect Premier X15 Data folder cannot be changed, but you can specify its location on your system in the Preferences dialog. See Folders Panel on page 106. If you specify a new location for this folder, the program will not migrate any custom user settings that you might have. Instead, it will automatically create a new folder at that location containing default information from the Chief Architect Premier X15 installation folder. If you would like to copy custom settings to the new location, you can do this yourself in an operating system window. When specifying a location for the Data folder, bear these considerations in mind: l If you move the Chief Architect Premier X15 Data folder on your computer without specifying its location in Preferences, the program will automatically replace the folder in its default location using default information from the software's installation folder. l The same will result if you specify a location on a network or removable device and that location becomes inaccessible. For this reason, it is best to use a location on your local hard drive. l The User Database Libraries in particular may contain a large amount of data. Whatever location you choose to use must be located on a hard drive with sufficient space to hold these files. Just as with your plan and layout files, it is a good idea to back up your Chief Architect Premier X15 Data folder. 37ChiefArchitectPremierX15ReferenceManual-CreatingaNewPlanorLayout Because the Chief Architect Premier X15 Data contains custom user data, it is not deleted when the program is uninstalled. Hope this helps
  4. PM sent with drafting and rendering samples. Attached pics - a few of my designs. Thanks for your consideration.
  5. Try using the all on layer set and see if any thing's there.
