This is Stream Deck Mobile with 64 buttons and if you dual screen on the iPad, you could have 128 buttons. And it only costs $49 for a lifetime license so that's probably the cheapest way to get the most out of Stream Deck. You can probably do everything that Joe would sell you, but I promise it will take so many hours that it's worth your time to make money designing and let Joe build it for you.

I have experienced this. I'd like to know what's up right there with you.

Looks amazing. Definitely beyond my chief skills

M5 (Pro or Max) MacBook Pro w CA17 (Current User Feedback Please!)
para-CAD replied to CUChris81's topic in General Q & A
My M1 Max has 64 GB "RAM" memory and 10 Core CPU, 32 Core GPU, 4 TB SSD I was looking forward to getting the M5 Max 128 GB memory, 18 Core, 40 Core, 4 TB SSD. The M5 SSD is actually twice as fast for read-write as the M1. I've always wanted more RAM than necessary because operating at the minimum requirements sometimes causes swap files to be utilized, which is writing to and from the SSD. I monitor that kind of activity about every 10 or 15 minutes and I have never had my M1 Max ever have to create swap files because I have enough physical memory. Also, I got the 4TB SSD originally because I didn't want to be stuck with having to have external drives with me if I was mobile. And I have only used about 500 GB of space, but I'm going to check now just to be accurate. (449 GB) Nice This M1 MAX has been a stellar workhorse and I was only considering upgrading it because there are times when the spinning beach ball happens and it might take me 45 seconds for whatever's processing in the background to do its thing.- 38 replies

This project got a little complicated and we had to build this one rake wall in three different pieces to make it all erectable with only three people. PLOCK Rake Walls.pdf We built these on the flat deck..........no snapping lines........and it always works. You have to cut EXACT.

I just wanted to bump this thread because both gentlemen who responded came up with exactly what I was looking for. - Joe posted it here FREE, and - Michael added some additional functionality to make it even more cool. If you are looking to customize or maximize Chief, reach out to these men.

You want panelizing software. If you set a Framing reference point it might help. Post a bigger screen shot with dimensions, and wall height, and I will whip out a Sketchup cut sheet in right quick order. If you miss this post....my offer expires in 2 hours from now (20:00 PST cutoff) Colored x-ray would be cool in chief

TLDR This went sideways fast. Maybe someone else can start a thread with just concise simple paragraph prompts. That would be useful. This thread is dead to me.

Thanks for the status update. I love comments from users versus “influencers”. My best action would be a loaded Studio, as you mentioned, so maybe the supply chain will be sorted out soon.- 38 replies

M5 (Pro or Max) MacBook Pro w CA17 (Current User Feedback Please!)
para-CAD replied to CUChris81's topic in General Q & A
I was told by a Best Buy tech that any device outside their base line config is a special order. 4TB SSD kicked me into that world. Even the apple stores around here don't carry that size. So in the mean time, I thought I would update my 12 Pro Max i-Phone to the 17 Pro Max (Xfinity offers $330 for my 12, Apple only offered $220). Silly me, I wanted a 1TB storage option........they only carry 256GB. Everything else was order only. So what did I do..........got stupid and ordered a 2TB one. It should be here tomorrow - THEY SAY. Damn Apple....I'M TRYING TO THROW $$$$ YOUR WAY - Step up, gents! Apple card nets me 3% so that's cool....and we have been with Xfinity over 10 years so they have (2) $300 gift coupons, so they are providing a free Apple watch (giving to wife)- 38 replies

My order was delayed again two more weeks. So I canceled because I'm not going to wait a month. Maybe I'll find something else. Or maybe this M1 will just keep on rocking.- 38 replies

My current M1 Max with 4TB of SSD and everything else was maxed out is driving a 43-inch monitor and a 27-inch monitor, both 4K, with no issues. I don't think I've ever heard the fans come on. It's just a little bit slow, that's all. My M5 order just was pushed right by 2 more weeks.- 38 replies

It’s supposed to arrive on the 14th. I went with 64 gigs of RAM because that’s what I have on my M1 and I’ve never had it have to use swap to the SSD. my M1 also has 4 TB of space and I’ve only used about 800 GB max so 4 TB seems to be the sweet spot for me- 38 replies

I created a simple 3D CAD detail for a Chief User in another state, but I can't find a way to export just that CAD Detail, as a single file that he can import into his CAD Detail library. I'm either ignorant of the process to make this happen (searched for 20 mins) or maybe this is more of a Suggestion or feature request......or maybe there is some cool ruby scripting I can commission from the experts. I attached the detail as a screen shot, but the Chief User would be better served with having the actual Chief CAD Detail installed for future/repetitive use or edits. With the Note Schedule present, I am NOT able to block the whole thing and add it to my Library. Any help is appreciated, and if it can be macro exported in a way that is importable.......I would definitely pay for that feature.

Is there any way to move this to the question-and-answer section so that we can keep the tips section more about how people have already found a good solution to something and not a question on how to do something?
