Wouldn't a fireplace be dimensioned off walls in both directions? Making a 5" disrepancy kind of obvious?

From X13 help

I'm for the third option-font. What is shown in the example looks like a somewhat condensed font similar to second from bottom in image. The bottom is a Liberation Mono.

But you are dimensioning an elevation what are tose defaults?

X12 or 13? Just tested a pretty basic one in 13- OOB settings, only 6 key frames on the desktop. Both standard and PBR with no RayTrace each took 2mins for a 26 second vid. With Ray Trace on would have looks like it would have taken about 1.5 hrs. Did nothing to any settings though.

cpu report If you say so

That will run x13 fine, only a tad lower than i7 laptopnor top end AMD, GPU is good

Open window, label tab, show in this view. I've had cabinets do this often.

I remembered something else- it seams that the game ready drivers default to Gsync, which can lead to DP monitor blinking when you have mixed resolutions. Turn it off. I also found that setting the monitors to specific input source works better than auto select. Michael reminded me...DP out- there are far fewer monitors that have a DP out port and the cost is several time greater than the cost of a cable.

Not a lot as far as Chief goes AFAIK, think how they handle sound is different? that said I use DisplayPort almost always. I have connected the current laptop via one of each to a pair of 2K monitors with no problem. Have not been willing or needed to connect laptop to the 4k. IF there is one you'll find out soon enough I don't know if it's still the case but used to be connecting from the case meant it would use the integrated card instead of the dedicated one. Two laptops ago I had problems connecting by HDMI as it would use the integrated GPU. Last laptop did not have one, the current laptop has one, been fine.

You need to be looking at this when running a PBR- OR if this is with one running this card is not being used by it.

Quite a trick All I have left is see what's up by using GPU-Z. Found here See what the temperature is doing, occasional voltage related performance cap is normal on my 3070 On same page is NVCleanstall which does a clean installation of Nvidia drivers (have to result the performance preference after that. Check driver version first, then have a copy of current and an older driver. I'd try rolling back one first a driver version, if no joy then a clean install of new, if still no joy well...I've got nothin.

Nowadays you also need to set in Windows Graphic Settings as I noted above.

Is that real time ray trace?, you will find that the regular ray trace works just fine in Chief. , You can also turn off raytrace in PBR and that works, just not as much fun either way. Run GPU-z and see what the sensors are saying.

What about Vbios? Cooling? Are you running GPU-Z to see what is going on?

A 3000 series card will be much better in the long run than a 2000 IF you intend to use real time ray trace. There is no need to get a Dual card. Here is an 11th gen Intel version that will work nicely- an i7 adds $130, I'd more likely change the motherboard. I also didn't change the case, but there are a lot of options for very little extra (BeQuiet, Fractal Define Compact...) A Ryzen will be in the same ball park but likely be better with liquid cooling than air. I don't know enough about the more budget friendly motherboards so used a Z590 (I know that one of the groups has issues. If going with them it's a must to talk with someone to find an available video card.

I switched over to the laptop-2070 super- to see if there was a difference with the public beta. No issue here. Both these have a decent number of lights, the second one was a beast in X12. I have daytime ambient turned down to 500, cap live samples checked, max export at 1000. Sun is down at 1000 or less, off in the other. Standard exposure setting (0.35?) Nvidia driver 461.92 Windows graphic setting set to use the Nvidia card for X13, ray trace, and x12. Then the same set up in Nvidia control panel. Hope some of that helps. I had problems back a ways with the 2070 with an older driver but I'd guess that's the first thing tech support had you check>

That was announce by Nvidia back in 2019 I think. Don't remember if CA ever said they'd work. The realioty in 2021- https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/what-is-ray-tracing/ "... Nvidia released a breakdown of generating a single frame of Metro Exodus, where it showed how the rendering pipeline is laid out and how it is affected by ray tracing. While an RTX 2080 and GTX 1080 Ti might be roughly comparable in performance for non-ray-traced games, when ray tracing is applied to a scene, it can take much longer for the 1080 Ti, without the dedicated RT cores, to generate the same image. The dedicated RT cores in RTX 20-series GPUs were a big selling point, but they didn’t quite deliver the performance Nvidia suggested. Even last-gen’s 2080 Ti struggled in supported ray tracing titles upon launch. The new RTX 3080 and 3090 feature newer RT cores,..." I got the laptop with the 2070 super last fall to use for testing, Eventually decided I needed a 3000 series card for the amount of RT my work will call for; hence the desktop. So spent a bit more than I had planned for the year; but that's just business.

That should be an RTX Quadro card. DID you check the driver? this is the latest for that card (assuming it is the RTX Quadro 3000? Make sure Chief is using that card and not the integrated GPU, first in windows then in Nvidia control panel IF none of that works contact Chief support.

A possibility is video card driver. Switching to standard while changing textures speeds things up a bit so will help, I think you have the Quadro 3000? has a little less kick than the 2070 in my laptop and I do that there (even sometimes on the Dtop). I have hotkeys to switch back and forth if I have a lot to do.

Open schedule, label tab, uncheck use callot.

Another option is to turn off callout for label in schedule then include the schedule number in the label. Then use the automatic label in the code or a custom OIP filed. Like this (plan attached) cabinet label width plus.plan

Should be a nice machine (getting the thermal upgrade?)
