    If you don't have flooring under the cabinets, how would you ever get the dishwasher to slide out?

    My Toolbar has also had problems since the latest update. I'm on a Mac.

    Still using both Ray Trace for top quality

    I switched to Mac about 12 years ago. The reason was, the Apple OS was not vulnerable to viruses and malware. As far as CA goes, it's stable on both platforms and the files are interchangeable. I other words, you can start a project on one and open it on the other OS. If this is more of a decision of Windows vs Mac, that discussion can go gone forever. Obviously, Mac is more expensive, but in the past, it's my experience that they lasted much longer. I like Macs backup system. Time Machine is automatic and can go back, hours, days, and months to restore files.

    Thanks Chris, I got it working

    I'd like to be able to send a Plan to the Layout and control the Layers shown. In other words, Send each floor to the Layout with all layers shown. Then have a page in the Layout that has no dimensions, just electrical. Right now I can send a floor to the layout with Electrical only, but then when turn on layers in the Plan, the Layout also changes. I'd like to have several Layout pages with only certain layers turned on.

    I've been using a Wacom Tablet and Pen for about eight years.

    My MacPro has dual AMD D500 video cards with 3GB of VRAM on each one. CA only recognizes one card. It would be nice to take advantage of both cards.

    Thanks to Mick (Kbird1) for helping me figure this out. He's my first attempt.

    I think the results are decent. Considering this took no time at all, maybe 2 seconds, it beats Ray Trace by an hour. RT may have better resolution, but I think this is going to be my new standard in presentations.

    Thank you, that was very helpful. I've changed my defaults for my main template. If I can perfect it, it will save hours of RT.

    Thanks, I found it under 3D > Rendering Techniques. I added that Icon to my Toolbar. So All I do is point the camera and Select PBR? It changes immediately, there is no wait time. Is that all I do?
  14. Electromen
    I guess I should have asked "How do you PBR in X10 on a Mac?
  15. Electromen
    Like the title states, What is PBR?

    Post #20 must be a wrong reference # ??? It seems the materials in the Library updated today make a difference. I'll try a new countertop.
  17. Electromen
    I could be wrong but I think X10 is a stand alone program and does not upgrade X9. I did not uninstall X9. Both full versions are still on my system. It was an upgrade from Beta to the full release

    I did that and Core Content was updated
  19. Electromen
    Which woods are you missing? Core Content?

    I solved the reflective floor material by replacing the flooring from Medium Oak Plank to Armstrong Flooring>Hardwood>Fifth Ave Collection>Topaz. In X9, I manually changed Medium Oak Plank, to a reflective surface. That option is not available in X10. Here's the result. You can see the original Medium Oak beyond the kitchen in the mud room.

    I'm having trouble with my Wacom Intuous 5 and X10. If I select an item the mouse freezes for five seconds.
  22. Electromen
    I'm very disappointed in X10 for Ray Tracing. In X9 they looked like photographs. In X10 there's little difference between a standard camera view and a RT.

    Scott, When we were testing my Mac Pro, you had the Layout page open and updating it was the slowest process. I never have the Layout page open until I'm ready to print. Do you normally edit with Layouts open?
  24. Electromen
    Scott, I have a six core Mac Pro with dual video cards. How can I help with a test? I'm using x9.

    I run Windows 10 64 bit on my Mac via Parallels Desktop. I'm using the Windows version of QuickBooks Pro 2016. I had the buy Parallels and Windows but it was worth it. It runs very well and I can switch back & forth between Windows and Mac seamlessly. I have dual monitors, when Windows is running, it's full screen on the second monitor while Mac OS is on the first one.
