Above a half wall will do that b

The upload limit changed to 2MB, at least that's what it said yesterday

Attached is file with an adjusted camera,sun, and light set. NO it is not attached, Looks like they have changed the file size limit to 2MB (was wondering why you couldn't attach it?0 Sending back to you by email. The rest is here for anyone with same issue in the future. I set generic sun then turned it down, I started with it at 100 then moved up. Also changed the postion temporarily since I like to know where it is and if it's working. Can adjust later as you see fit. Slight adjustment to rendering technique. Then I named the room so I could identify the lights and made a new light set, turned on all the lights in the room. The only change to lights themselves was to make the right table lamp match the left one (changed from spot to point) I would most likely change at some lights total and some from point to spot, turn some shadows OFF, move the sun depending. This should get you going.

Did you update the view after changing to plot line? Plot lines are usually the crispest.

Without a plan guess would be turn sun on BUT turn it down, way down.

I don't have one of those but the horizontal scroll on mine only works with scrollbars showing and then I have to click the bottom scrollbar first. I don't use it much as easier otherwise as you note.

Glasses. For years I've worn 35mm (blueprint) trifocals and had a pair of single vision computer glasses. I almost never used the single vision since switching to read paper was such a pain. Recently got a pair of 35mm bifocals set for reading at the bottom and computer at the top. Has made a big difference, less eye and neck strain. The only downside is they work so well that I often get up and start out of the room with them on and don't realize I can't see distance properly until I walk into the door jamb

Dropbox version history may help.

The EZ Level are used with cabinets with standard toe kick, hole for adjuster is covered with toe board.

Depending I've done this 3 ways Order cabinets with no sub-base and build sub-base on site. Most often I've done this when the floor is way out or the flooring is very irregular (think rough cut slate slabs that no one should walk on :) Cut strips of Ply 2-3" wide, layout those out to match the cabinet sides and back. Level those with shims, on cement I PL the shims down and pin the ply to them; on wood just pin it all. Be sure to include trim for exposed ends (DAMHIKT). I've used this often with large format tile or if floor is off by 1/2" or more. Use EZ Levels (link). They give you 1-1/4" height adjustment so you might need to combine with #2. The cabinets can be ganged together and leveled as a group. I first used these when we had to for a large office complex where they wanted the ability to change things around later, then for a few difficult to level corner situations. I've had installers ask me to include them.

I don't normally keep the side windows off by themselves (I like to keep all 3 stacked.) Just tested with the 3070 and don't get what you are getting. Wonder if it's a quirky Win setting or a Chief one? Or cables? My two main monitors are DP and 3rd is a USB (DisplayLInk not port) . At one point I had one as HDMI, one DP, 3rd as now and had some unusual things. I could make the HDMI monitor as Primary but when identified it always showed as #2 which confused a setting in Ultramon, (throwin spaghetti at the wall here)?

Didn't bother with the wine fridge

In cabinets I posted ope the other tabs to find what is different.

Open each cabinet DBX and check EVERYTHING- front and sides. Most of the things I post require you to do that to get an understanding of how things work.

I couldn't be happier. I was originally talking with an outfit that promises 24 hour response, great reputation but a 2 month lead time. The responses weren't so great and couldn't get the Compact, only the full size or a mini. The last question I had they never got back to me, while waiting to hear found AVA. Figured I'd take a shot. Ended up with a better GPU, the case I wanted and saved $800 :))) After getting a basic config I spoke with Kyle (sales guy). He made some suggestions said: the PSU I picked was not quiet so we changed that, and the Asus 3070 I picked he said would take a long time to come in (if ever) so suggested the Evga as they had in hand, he reserved it for one day. I needed to make a Paypal payment so he had the hold extended for another half a day. The PSU was also his suggestion. So before I ordered we knew that all parts were available, which I expect made a difference. (even when I got back to him to change the MOBO). Someplace in there ( the thermal paste got changed from Kryonaut to Arctic Silver5..not a big deal) Anyway he said 1 to 2 weeks to ship, confirmation said 10-14 business days but blah blah...; it shipped in 16. Fedex mucked up a bit but got it worked out, only an extra day of shipping instead of two (found the secret to getting past the robot with Fedex- after saying representative a few times when it tells you they won't know any more than we already told you scream and curse "I don't care I want... instant representative:) The PSU brand and GPU were his suggestions, the rest were my suggestions for what I was after-quiet. We also discussed the M2 and PCIE4 (which won't make a noticeable difference from what I found and he agreed). I was a little concerned about the case. I knew that the full size Define 7 would be cool and quiet and also knew the Compact was not as quiet but I don't game at all so took a shot. I know at least one person with a popular brand with a 3090 and an I9 who said his sounds like a jet engine when the 3090 really kicks in (PBR) As soon as I could I set it to slam everything. It sits at eye level 3 ft away, can barely hear it even when I try. Right now there is a truck somewhere down the block that is louder :) Thermals are excellent. They put the burn in reports (12 hrs total)on the C drive. They got the temps higher than I have so far still just fine, no throttling. I have absolutely no idea about support and hope I don't need to find out. After I ordered saw a few complaint review, worried a little but only a little

Check project browser to see if there are two schedules which is most likely issue. There could be two sets of labels in plan view just on top of each other. OR there are two cabinets. I had an assistant who would often accidentally copy and paste in place.

Export default sets from a plan with ones you want then import for anmotations. Import plan views from a current plan. Selectively import other defaults you want-camera, OIP, ...macros I keep exported ones on a folder to bring in as meeded.

While you may not need a top end video card for your work I'd suggest getting a dedicated GPU as opposed to ontegrated (Intel). I mention that since AVA is not currently showing either GTX or 2000 series cards, maybe give Kyle a call there.

PSU is the power supply unit, rated in Watts. May inexpensive systems have very small ones (350 watts). It's not as simple as that. Chief has uses a balance of resources so all parts have a bearing on cost. Did you read the link supplied by Chief above? While Yes the new X13 Real Time Ray Trace requires a capable card yes, old fashioned Ray Trace uses the CPU so need power there. Standard view uses the CPU too. Only you can decide how expensive a system needs to be. It depends on how you use the program and your business model. I look at it as a 5 year investment, guess how much time it will save me this year, factor the tax deduction, how much can I manage now/this year...Check the signatures on the forum, there's a wide range of systems folks are using.

Decided to see if trial of Revit Lite works-it does So here is faucet in a plan. I didn't fuss much with any of it-has a lot of faces so be careful. I'd maybe try mesh reduction on it if I really needed it but in middle of loading this machine up. I noticed that is a monthly subscription option for Revit Lite but it total$ to more than yearly. It still might suit my needs better if it's easier to re-instate, somewhere down the road ... Faucet plan.plan

Yes that's possible. I was looking for something for someone with more simple office use and checked just to see. There are some that are ok BUT bumping the budget a bit gets a significantly better machine. There are machines out there with RTX 2000 cards in the low to mid teens and good CPUs. With the 11th generation Intel CPUs out some places have good deals on 10th gen machines. The best deals I saw were at the LOCAL Microcenter or at BestBuy- not at the manufacturers. NOTE that If you hope to upgrade the GPU someday keep an eye on the power of the PSU or you could end up needing both. Also upgrading either Intel or AMD machines after this years will also require a new motherboard no matter how much you spend. I don't think that's a big deal, at least I'm not worried about it. A decent current generation CPU should work ok with Chief for 5+ years.

The faucet at least is available at the Kohler web site BUT the down side is it's a Revit model. Saw one suggestion to download a trial version for a onesy situation. I just took a look over at Autodesk- you can get a trial version free, I've not found limitations but they may be there. I also saw that Revit light can be had for $475 /yr. I may look into that myself as there are enough Revit models out there that could make it worth the $$ for me. (I'll put on my list- maybe when I'm slack and just go to town for a bit converting models-will see what happens there. The soap dish depending on how clean and accurate it needs to be wouldn't be that bad to just make. Not as simple but I've hacked things like that from other models in Chief- takes a batch of generations and likely faster to do in something else OR just pay some SU guy to do it. (every now and then a SU person has free time and takes pity, maybe get lucky)

Yrue enough but0 the trial version does NOT save

Open the 3D view in Remodel and reference the As Built instead of the other way around. Change the current view to Glass house and the reference view to standard.

Yes custom molding takes a minute to make
