See the image below of my copy of Version 10, in "Edit - Preferences- CAD- Snap Behaviors" which I believe is what you are looking for. DJP

Back in Version 6, circa 1999 I stopped depending upon "Auto Save". No one is responsible for your work and produce but you, so I, in this case, manually save (CTRL -S or F3) every few seconds as I work to make sure I do not lose my work. If I have a crash or autosave fails, my work is saved within a few seconds. You should consider doing this as well. Chief Tech Support cannot return your lost work, so you need to be more personally responsible for that yourself. DJP

This is unacceptable in terms of a "new feature", disable an existing one for a new one which is still in its infancy and virtually unusable. DJP

Brian Beck, thank you for your response to my post. I think, on the whole, I like X10 better than any prior release, I really had that only complaint above. I think in terms of the slowness I experience is based on my needing to upgrade my hardware (it has been three or four years since my last upgrade), we will see. DJP

Earlier this week an employee of Chief Inc said here that "The Physical Based Render and the now missing Reflection slider in Materials Properties would be fixed." I now see this as a False Report. PBR still shows promise but is a hit and miss proposition and the Properties Tab is still missing control of reflections like we have in X9. I do not intend to use X10 until they keep their publicly stated word. DJP

Like Michael said, no floor equals, usually a bad wall connection and results in no room dialog. The ceiling is there because it, in this case provided by the roof or ceiling planes, not the room dialog. DJP

I have not experienced this on my PC in X9 or X10, so my advice is to contact Tech Support and see if they can help you, it is something specific to your computer as opposed to Chief. DJP

I have noticed the same phenomena in both X9 and X10, especially cabinets, seem to have become myopic relative to walls, very annoying and unnecessarily time-consuming.We should complain this to Chief as a bug, I think. DJP

Number one: Carefully read the "Users Guide" found under the "Help Menu", You do not build a structure exactly following the procedure you commonly use in the field Number two: watch the following video series by Dan Bauman on You Tube: There are more at YouTube but these will get you started right DJP

Free PDF printer apps are many and varied, I used CutePDF for years until Chief came out with its own dedicated app. If I had a deadline to get something done I believe I would download and install Cute PDF or one of the others and then see if I could not just get my work done, contacting Tech Support can wait till later. DJP

The issue is "Layers" and the fact that there are several "Display Options" Dialogs (Most newer users do not know this fact), there is a different "Layer Display Options" dialog for plan view, Reference Display, and each camera type has its own "Display Options" Dialog. They all look identical but they are certainly not. So you can order "ON" certain layers in plan view, then create a camera view and in the ordered camera view those layer objects you could see in plan view are missing in the camera view. They key to this is knowing that all "Display Options" Dialogs are not the same, Check and you will see that if missing in one "Display Options" Dialog it is simply a matter of finding the offending layer and turning it "ON" in that layer set. DJP

Thanks, Michael, I used to also own a ".net" domain, now I just own a ".com" so that embedded link was to the same page on a domain that I no longer use, it is fixed now, thanks for bringing that to my attention! DJP

Few to none of us have done as you have done. Call Tech Support on Monday and see if they can advise you. DJP

I guess like any new feature with variables, it is just lame for now (PBR). That it also negatively impacted Ray Tracing is a double wammy of badness. New features should not degrade existing ones. DJP

No, I did not see it. Do you mean the one tagged "X10"? If so yes, I did download that and install it with the same results as the X9 one you offered. DJP

I will be happier when they put the "Reflections Slider" back in X10 on the "Properties" tab, till then, I am unhappy. DJP

Yes, same problem, no texture installation or association. DJP

I downloaded the textures and manually reassociated them with each material, that seemed to have worked. The .cabliz file you offered for X10 also did not properly install with the textures as above. Your efforts are still appreciated and inventive, thank you! DJP

Are you using X9 or X10? DJP

Yes, in X9 the library works fine, in X10 none of the textures arrived with the other data. I too was surprised. DJP

Mick, Your library imported just fine into X9 but not into my X10. I wonder why that is. Anyway, thanks for sharing your library! The library imports into X10 but is then missing all associated textures when done. When I imported the RainScreen library, the texture did not also import into X9, I did not try it in X10. DJP
