  1. Here is what I got in July. works very well, and same video card and mem as desk top. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-gu501gm-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i7-16gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-1tb-hybrid-drive-128gb-ssd-brushed-black/6207900.p?skuId=6207900 A lower budget and in the middle of the two video cards you list.
  2. Just finished up a interesting design working with another designer
  3. OK, I have seen this talked about and as of last Tuesday, I am faced with eliminating the two graphics fighting...……. ASUS GU501 (ROG) I disabled the UHD graphics 630 in device manager. Is that it or something else needed to make sure the Nvidia is the graphics at all times?
  4. We will be holding a Chief Architect lunch and learning event. In Oklahoma City, on Saturday June 9th, 2018. (9:00am-4:00pm) Room for 10 at conference table for your laptop/tablets, and 10 more folding chairs around the room. We have 7 signed up at this time and room for 13 more...... Private message to sign up and more details
  5. I have to say after hearing Grahams experience with going from 745 to 1060. I upgraded my 760 dual 4GB card to EVGA GTX 1060 SSC 6.144GB (06G-P4-6264-KB) and have seen a difference. Just did a 5 minute video, 13277 frames at 70 fps, took about 45 minutes CPU and GPU never got above 50%.
  6. Joe, Thanks but I rename elevations already to make cents to my human brain. IE the "Master Bath 1" and use your handy dandy Block for that and the scale... Was trying to use Callout and not have view labels on in floor plan view....... Chopsaw, I actually do all my work in plan. Another one of those make cents to my human brain. Only thing i do in layout is titleblock, stuff... I do not even use labels in layout. I just wish a program claiming BIM really knew how to give access to the BIM... Before anyone calls me out on the BIM statement. ART was the first time i recall hearing it!!! 1995ish
  7. Is there a way to get the E12, E13, E18 and so on to Automatically fill out in Elevations from camera label? Trying to eliminate human error, murphy and I are good friends...
  8. I paid Michael to modify the font I use for my main font, then paid him to get the macro the way I wanted it. Just plain window size and type like auto label. 1.75 hours covered the above. (Alasken_Son) Joe helped me with the macro to get window height the way I wanted it. (x'-x") The font allows for custom label like this window
  9. That has happened and why I use the macros and modified font to do the superscript, with the modified fount it is nice to solve that.
  10. Ok Image one is how to get what you asked Schedule and automatic label, as Eric said Image two is mine with macro and font modified help from Joe and Michael Image three is how my plans look with a schedule. If no schedule then it will only show everything with out callout. (No "D06" or "W03" in image) Must uncheck use callout under schedule for this to work.... Note I have egress as last label line. It shows only if egress is checked in that window. Edited last image as it was a custom mulled unit. sorry now shows standard door and window

  12. missing my wood materials as well.... +1 on the fix.
  13. try adjusting sunlight down to 2000 or even 500 is what I have been doing.
  14. Ok here is what I know. The issue is logged, and for now turning off Improved lighting Quality in profile plan. Turning it on once in PBR view........ the issue seems to be switching to PBR from other rendering view with that setting turned on. Hope that helps you all as well. Thanks to Chief and Brian for getting me past that issue for now......
  15. Yes repeatedly .... that is why i offered GoToMeeting. can reproduce, just can not save it to send in. it fixes for some time, by different changes.
  16. Brian, I have tried to get plan to send in. This issue of Blinding Whiting out, or black out is hit or miss. I will gladly do GoToMeeting with who ever at chief to show them end user issue...........on my system
  17. Mick, I have been trying to send in plan to show chief. It appears to be first time camera issue. then can not get it to repeat, as it is unpredictable. Had three cameras all white out blinding.................. saved cameras, saved plan going got one....... went back in and all three worked......... so this bug everyone has is, hard to replicate to send in to chief That said Brian or anyone at chief that wants to GoToMeeting so I can try and show them the issue, let me know...........if that will help?
  18. I did have light source in the middle of the room. Sun was turned down to 2000. i used the refrigerator straight out of chief library, carpet as well. (did update library again yesterday.) simple exercise trying to find settings that work repeatedly......... start from scratch rectangle box two base cabinets and two upper, and refrg. Not stable at all. just got it to work again. 1 out of 5 is not good at all. Same issues still in the release issued 2/14/2018.
  19. Ok changed backdrop to no backdrop and it works like the rest of you. Mick before I did that I was able to getting your black results as well. Looks like maybe I can work with it now, if it remains stable. Been feeling left out of the sandbox again......LOL Ok tried new plan same fixes, no work, so no clue again.
  20. ok this is going to sound crazy, but I get whited out screen in PBR's. turned sun down, turned bloom off. it is all hit or miss. but mostly missed. Thinking hardware issue but up to date drivers. so have not traced it down to any one issue yet. Anyone have whited out PBR's like sun to bright, or just me? Hoping the release solves my issues or, PBR's are not going to work for me.
  21. When you duplicate screens they default to the lowest screen highest setting. IE if 1 is 4K and one is 1080, they will drop down to the 1080.... That along with other issues of different sizes causes different image quality, is why I have two identical.. TV / monitors, not as good as computer monitors but works for me after getting use to it. Clients love the ability to watch either screen......
  22. Joe I hear you, I have found brick ledge useless........................... Brick ledge requires a stem wall for the brick to ledge, hence the dim. goes to out side edge of stem.
  23. Ok here is where and how I set up custom header one time in defaults. (note have to do doors and windows so really took twice)
