  1. No Problem on my Mac Pro.
  2. Apple is coming out with an iMac Pro, probably this fall. The technical specs and it have a real WOW factor like up to 18 cores and up to a Radeon Pro Vega 64 graphics processor with 16GB of HBM2 memory. Of course the price will match those top specs. The latest iMac 27" has a 3.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor and Radeon Pro 580 with 8GB video memory. I just bought a Mac Pro with 3.5GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5 processor, Dual AMD FirePro D500 with 3GB VRAM each, 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD. I looked at the iMac but decided to go with the Mac Pro because of the more cores and dual video cards. My new Mac Pro flies with CA9.
  3. Try; View > Toolbars and make sure it's checked.
  4. If anyone haven't opened a 360º Pano on your phone, you should try it now. It's a completely different experience than computer screen. Move your phone up, down, spin around.
  5. I always send the 360º Pano to their cell phone by text or message. Copy the Direct URL and Paste it in a message. It works much better on a phone.
  6. Kurt, thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I've been using CA since 1997 and have never been able to build a 3D item. You've given me incentive to learn it. Greg
  7. I've never used Polyline Solids, I need to learn that.
  8. LOOK HERE The outside material is Black Metal, I'd like to show a fire inside. Size is 25 1/4" high, 58 3/8" wide, 8" deep Unit is 17" from bottom to floor.
  9. Does the James Hardie catalog download meet your needs? Look HERE
  10. I use ten passes. Look at my web site under the "Photos" tab. Each one is ten passes. My old Mac Pro took about 1 hour 15 minutes My new Mac Pro takes about 20 minutes. www.barringerelectric.com
  11. I don't have these several of these materials: One is; unnamed_model4c238c8656140cd9f3f0c71893b70a40.png
  12. Also, go to the attic or 2nd floor level and align the fireplace wall with the first floor wall. Select the wall and look at the tool bar at the bottom. Align With Wall Below
  13. My old Mac Pro (2009) died, probably a power supply but parts are not available from Apple. Genius Bar could not fix it. I bought a new Mac Pro, the one that look like a small round trash can. Specs: Processor - 3.5 GHz 6 core Intel Xeon E5 RAM - 16 GB Video card - AMD FirePro D500 3MB Storage - 250 GB SDD 3.0 USB Bus Thunderbolt Bus So far it seems very fast compared to the old Mac Pro. Does anyone have a good test for using it with CA9 ?
  14. I use Ray Trace, what do you mean by "Render"
  15. I've eliminated the mouse, so none.
  16. Yes, as Eric said, it's set in your Defaults. When you get time, start a new Plan. Set all your Default and Save as a Template. When you start a new job, start with this Template.
  17. In our area, Pulldown stairs are not permitted in the garage. They do not qualify for the fire rating.
  18. A Photometric layout for a parking lot will show the position of each light fixture. It also describes specific manufactures specifications for the lighting including model, wattage, mounting height and type of pole. The layout will show the number of lumens or foot-candles for the entire parking lot. It may also includes required back light control shields to keep light from spilling over onto residential properties.
  19. A commercial lighting supplier will do it for free, mine does. It takes specialized software, not CA. The software will create a file with an .ies extension and is usually opened with a IES Viewer Program that can be downloaded free. The lighting designer may be able to supply you with a .pdf, you'll have to ask.
  20. Any quality commercial lighting supplier will create one for free. Of course they expect to get the order.
  21. My web site showing 360º Panos and Ray Traces. www.barringerelectric.com
