I had something similar with the most recent update. Restarting the computer didn’t help. Shutting the computer down/off and restarting worked.

Goof to know. My experience with that is from several years ago and involved Quick Books Pro

X17 Project Management stores all your project files on C Drive. Archives and Chief Auto Backups are zipped/compressed. If you’re using a 3rd party backup utility to Backup C Drive, it also compresses the files meaning they have been compressed twice. When you go to Restore, the Chief Archives and Backups have been destroyed. You cannot uncompressed a file that’s been compressed twice. If you’re unfortunate enough to have C Drive destroyed, you may be out of luck. For that reason, I’ve turned Project Management off and have .plan and .layout file stored on Drive D. That way, files are on two different drives. i don’t use a Backup Utility, I use a Sync Program that mirrors both Drive C and D to a Drive encloure near my internet router. No compression.

Can't figure out Temporary Dimension Settings
Electromen replied to westvale's topic in General Q & A
I've tried every combination of settings in X17 that I can think of. I still can't get temporary dimensions to work for rooms wall to wall. Some settings show interior wall surface but exterior surface on outside walls. Other settings show interior wall surface but the other side of the opposite wall adding the width of the wall. -
I’d like to move the project files to a folder that I backup routinely

Sign into CA with your SSA account. You can download versions as far back as x10.

Do you notice X16 Beta PBR being slower than X15?
Electromen replied to Electromen's topic in General Q & A
Thank You, Setting it to 1 improve performance. -
I'm using the same .Plan file and also tried a new project created in X16. The Physically Base Rendering is considerable slower. Video Card is Nvidea 4080. Anyone else notice this?

This is in X15, I've been using CA since version '97. In the 3D Physically Based rendering, the one recessed over the single garage door and the far right , barely show up. All the others look as I would expect. I've tried several adjustments to the Light Data, I also tried installing a ceiling plane under the soffit. I just can't figure it out. I've attached the Zipped plan. I appreciate your help. RWS149K zip.zip

1500 samples is very good. 2500 is excellent. It depends on the speed of your video card.

i9-13900K CPU, Ray Tracing performance and CPU temperatures
Electromen replied to Barton_Brown's topic in General Q & A
I have a one year old Liquid Cooled MSI gaming computer with NVIDIA 3080ti video card. It was overheating and shutting down running X14. I removed the Liquid Cooled and installed all fan based cooling. I haven't had a problem since then. -
I agree, I'm having a terrible time finding the simple things that I use everyday.

I don't do panel schedules in CA. They are not required for permits. I make them when I wire the panels.
