Problem selecting upper cabinets in elevation view
MarkMc replied to adventhomes's topic in General Q & A
I've not had that problem, likely specific to your system. I'd check mouse driver/battery, video card (issues with some newer drivers noted elsewhere in forum), call tech support maybe they've heard of this. -
First to the space issue- Is your dropbox file located on your C drive? It still uses space on the machine. I have X8, 9 &10 installed with pretty healthy libraries each, along with a mess of programs and only using 108GB of my C drive. Everything else is on D. I left the primary Documents folder there to allow a few programs to install data there but everything else that lives there and all photos, music, downloads, whatever is on D. Second CA works best off the C drive. With X10 libraries can now be moved elsewhere-cloud or another drive if needed. I'd first see where the space is going, then install X10. Go over this thread, make some notes, then spend an hour with a file from X9 and see how it goes. While PBR has changed each beta iteration and the public requires a bit more finesse- I had decent PBRs up and running pretty quickly without the benefit of this thread to start- better than my lousy RTs anyway.

For myself this has only occurred when my printer settings, not Chiefs, were set to other than 100%. Usually I needed "to fit" for a previous print and forgot to change it.

or why you don't need 2020. This video shows how to move labels and codes from a cabinet schedule into an manufacturer online order platform. At a later date I'll do something showing how that schedule is generated in Chief (some of which has been posted in the past) The file size is too large to post AFAIK and I don't know how to do embed codes yet so here is a link to a page with the video. Link to page with video Rest of web site has never been finished-one of these days

While I love details as much as the next and often do CAD for special cabinets In this case it's not really a big deal. All but one of the makers pictured would finish the back as a standard modification. One would want to add a 3/4 panel, unless I had it quoted and asked for flush.
-
It's actually a very common standard construction from many makers. I don't use those but when I do need a corner sink I use a recessed corner sink base which is similarly difficult. I make those from 3 cabinets.

I get the same behavior in X9 as X10. Cabinet doors behave the same way, think it's what Michael suggested.
-
Just make it from a cabinet can be in the schedule then. Corner Shelvs x9.plan

Several of us were making this work in X9. If using X9 you can also either... Import as a door, change the origin and place in the back of the cabinet. OR Import, place in blank plan, place the cabinet door you need in front of it. From 3D view, convert to symbol, cabinet door, change origin to just behind the door, set depth stretch plane outside the symbol. Then use as a drawer front. OR Look for post by Alaskan_Son sometime last year if you want to have the door swing open AND the basket pull out OR Upgrade as Dermot suggests (best option)

Rev-A-Shelf website has a zip file with 3D dog files, I believe their entire catalog. You can import from that. You'll want to look up the model number first, I keep their PDF catalog handy.

Wall Cabinet Crown Disappears Near A Straight Half-Wall
MarkMc replied to Designers_Edge's topic in General Q & A
Just to add to what others have said. I use ONLY molding lines always. If you are doing much with cabinets/kitchens then you use an assortment of molding stacks. Not hundreds but more than one or two right? Evey time you make a stack using a molding line (NOT molding polyline) and create. Copy it somewhere, select one length, then "disconnect selected edge. Copy that and paste it into a warehouse plan. I keep six foot lengths of each stack in rows based on ceiling height to keep things tidy I have some dashed cad lines drawn vertically for each row set 6 ft apart. To the side of each molding line I place a description ( I lean toward naming them by client) I also take a back clip section of the molding stack, shoot a cad detail from view and copy that into the warehouse plan next to the name. Won't take long until you have all the molding stacks you are likely to use but they are still easier to adjust than stacking them on cabinets. The biggest advantages of this method are- 1 NO quirky behavior; 2 you can now adjust the side overhangs to something other than the front overhang which is what happens IRL; 3 you don't have to redraw them. Just open the warehouse plan, copy and paste. Down off the soap box now.- 7 replies

Like Perry said- Chief likes nVidia. If I were buying a system today I'd look at this- 8th gen desktop CPU, any of the 10XX GPUs http://www.hidevolution.com/evoc-clevo-p775tm1-g-custom-built-gaming-laptop.html

OOPS not so fast(almost solved w Update 20.2.0.51) X10 with an Intel card
MarkMc replied to MarkMc's topic in General Q & A
Thanks Graham- my concern is if it will work with the processor. I have not been able to get any information on that so far but figure I'll be safe enough with an image and crossed fingers -

MarkMc replied to MarkMc's topic in General Q & A
none of the numbers match anything I can find on my machine, all the PIDs I find are 4 digit. With a 620HD search on the site you link I find "almost" the driver that Graham lists. I can't find the one I have either both may have been HP only. I'll look into it further but not going to force it without a fresh disc image. -
Also in preferences Render-hardware edge smoothing- set to high, you have a strong enough video card for it.

OOPS not so fast(almost solved w Update 20.2.0.51) X10 with an Intel card
MarkMc replied to MarkMc's topic in General Q & A
I have 22.20.16.4836 -10/17/2017. Neither Intel or HP will let me get anything earlier. I found 21.20.16.4542 10/24/16. elsewhere but it doesn't say it's compatible with my CPUi7-8550U. I can force the install (maybe) but not sure how that works with the GPU. If I'm gonna try that I'll make a disc image first so won't be until Mon or Tues. Mick, thanks. I generally don't allow updates of drivers or anything else until I've read the notes and decided I really need it (specially on laptops) Just found a way to install GPEDIT on the Spectre and plan to try that tomorrow. Will save me from upgrading to Win Pro since that's the only reason I ever get it. Let you know if that works. -

MarkMc replied to MarkMc's topic in General Q & A
Thanks for checking Graham. I just had a little time to get at it again. This was nothing like Grandview-4 walls, 5 cabinets and a fridge. Just tried a new one after updating catalogs again. 4 walls, 32 windows, two doors, 5 cabinets, tried with fridge and range from core catalog and without. Set every default having anything to do with views down . I get an occasional SEH error complainging about the video card in standard view. I managed to switch to PBR once- pixeled out. Move and it goes black. Card is well above min. sys requirements listed on Chiefs site (has Open GL 4.5). When I spoke with tech he pretty as much as said "dedicated GPU" (so take the Inetl card off the site !!) Wonder what's the difference between mine and yours? maybe single core performance- but the CPU barely spikes for a second and this has 4 actual, 8 effective. Guess for now I'll just stick with standard on this and look into selling this off in a couple of weeks- need the tablet for to use static images at a few business meetings first. In the meantime I'll lug the beast and power brick for consumers. Thanks for checking. -
Guess that will have to do. I was looking to add it to a toolbar config I use but can't find it in the customize toolbars.
-
At least I can't find it. Object painter is there, just can't limit what it does- anybody? already sent it in.
-
I just updated again and core material textures appear to be back though I have not checked everything yet- at least a good bit are back.

OOPS not so fast(almost solved w Update 20.2.0.51) X10 with an Intel card
MarkMc replied to MarkMc's topic in General Q & A
Bought it end of November. Talked with Graham before I got it since he has the prior model. I'll run Grandview in X9. Worked better with earlier beta releases. I got it for a couple of reasons which still apply but this part is not good. -

MarkMc replied to MarkMc's topic in General Q & A
Yeah, it's the UHD 620-latest card latest mfg driver. Like I said it runs X9 adequately enough for what I'd use it for. Wouldn't want to spend the day on it "0 but a short show and tell it's fine. I wonder if it's partly the missing materials. I'll check it sometime over the weekend with something where I know it has all the textures.
