  1. HERE are some Mac Benchmarks, also look at the multi core results
  2. I have an Apple Mac Pro (4.1) tower from 2009. I wondering if it's time to upgrade. 3D views appear in about 1 sec., Ray Trace sometimes take an hour for 10 passes but the drawings are large. Mac Pro 2009 Processors: Two-2.26GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon, eight cores total Memory: 16GB 1066 MHZ DDR3 ECC Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX680 2048 GB Boot Drive: 500GB Intel SSD Three more internal HDD: 2TB WD Black Caviar OS: OSX El Capitan
  3. That's my experience also. The new embedded viewer by CA fixes it and works very well in my web site.
  4. I knew it had to do with the exterior wall layers, but I wasn't sure which ones to move up. Select exterior wall > Wall types > Define, Look at your Layers
  5. I've tried with no success. The experts here will figure it out tomorrow I'm sure.
  6. The new embedded file fixed that problem. It was caused by the third party viewer.
  7. Let's give this new feature a try. View in Chief Architect’s 360° Panorama Viewer.
  8. This is excellent and much easier than a third party 3D viewer. I installed an HTML Widget and pasted the code. It worked perfectly. Great job The web site is HERE, look at the VR page.
  9. Does anyone know how to change the orientation of the starting view in the 360 Pano? In other words, when the Pano opens I'd it to point towards the kitchen and not the Breakfast Nook. I tried using a North Pointer in Cad, but it didn't have any affect.
  10. I haven't tried that, but it should work. It's just a Ray Trace. 270º could be blank andscape unless you have several buildings
  11. I was able to embed to 360º Pano into my web site. I didn't have a web site before this. this is my first attempt. I created it this morning. Let me know your thoughts. The Phone version is not ready yet. HERE it is.
  12. I figured it out. Under layer Style, there is a new Option for Groups. One of them is Front
  13. In previous versions, when I imported a .PDF, I made it a new Layer. While creating the new Layer there were options to "Move to Front Group". This allowed items like windows and doors on the .PDF to show on top of CA walls. I don't see that option in CA9. I can't see the windows & doors Can anyone help?
  14. Here's one of my Panos. https://accounts.chiefarchitect.com/360/033119244821724
  15. Thanks David One more question; Has anyone had trouble viewing the 360 on an iPhone 6?
  16. I bought a 3D VR Viewer - VR Shinecom. It works well with the CA cardboard VR viewer setting and my iPhone 5S. One question: 1. Does anyone know a way to go full screen while in cardboard viewer mode? I can see the Safari controls for web pages at the bottom and the top tool bar showing the web address. When I triple tap with three finger and go full screen, the viewer doesn't work properly , 3D is not right
