Works now with update 20.2.0.51 Will post at the end, still some issues. Anyone running X10 with an Intel card only? Are you having any success? My little toy secondary Spectre runs X9 adequately but getting repeated crashes in X10 even without multiple tabs or using PBR. PBR has pixelization ( if I can even manage to get there). I'd been hoping for improvement in the final for PBR but getting the SEH errors instead. Mentioned it to Support - they suggested update drivers- machine is update by MS and HP as of Wednesday. I'd forced an update on the Intel drivers at one point in testing which made it all worse. Thanks for the fix Chief

I just got off the phone with support - they are aware. Fellow I spoke to had an email to the effect that they are working on it as fast as they can but no date for fix, no work around.

Things to try- First would be a brand new camera. At first I thought I'd found that turning off both back drop and improve lighting, then switching to standard, then back to PBR, then turn on lighting, finally turn on backdrop (voodoo right) was the answer. But since then I have not been able to get the blowout with any new cameras even in full floor with no ceiling or roof. All were X10 plans which may or may not matter. YMMV Still getting a very little pixelization on the Spectre with the wimpy video card if everything is on but need to test that further.

I had one where I couldn't stop it in the public beta. I saw someone mention the back drop. I found that the combination of a backdrop and "Improve lighting quality" in the rendering technique settings were the issue. If I turned either off it went away. The same file is fine in the latest update BUT I updated my catalogs and they may have updated backdrops. If all esle fails save the camera and settings and post the plan.

Works here. Did you update your calalogs? only thing I can think of.

Standard outlets work since X9

Here are 3 - one evo w drawer I started for a rather difficult catalog- it is not finished but works for many things, then "3inch" is needed for that to work, the last one GerryT gave me and shows promise but needs work. While I did a lot of work on these Gerry in particular helped, Michael spent a bit of time going over general Ruby stuff with me and Joe Carrick (Yoda) also played along. So I don't really consider these mine. Besides the two for labels need some work yet. I just have not had the time to finish them off. To get them fixed I strongly suggest working with Michael (or Joe who also was at one point working on something) -BUT either may want to start from scratch. FWIW After my take on using these (and I have placed a decent number of orders based on the "evo w drawer" and it's predecessors) is that trying to make a macro to do an entire catalog is not worth the effort.One that does "most" should suffice. I keep about 2 dozen cabinets in my library that I use often and that require and excessive amount of fiddling to make work in a macro. Most of those are also cabinets that would require a bit configuring to the faces and may also involve listing modifications (which I do in the OIP fields) Then I just design with normal cabinets and use replace from to put those in so that I have a schedule I can use to generate an order. I have a spot in my calendar to finish off a video about placing an online order from a CA schedule which will get posted (some day :0 but currently I'm working on altering my website to reflect my shift to doing freelance drafting work. So that vid may get bumped out till next week from the looks of it but for an assortment of reasons I have to finish that before the month is out. Cab macros.zip

change the newel spacing to 24", can have the facet angle as high as 7.5.

Easy ...well everything I know of is a kludge IF the bath and laundry are adjacent AND you don't mind making them one room then it's kind of easy BUT if you Since I most likely would not want to do that AND since there are more likely fewer cabinets there than in the kitchen? Can block each cabinet in laundry and bath but now you have to fix the label that shows in the schedule AND the dimensions don't read according to the cabinet but are polar based on the block so that has to get fixed (easier with the new extra OIP fileds) Other kludges I've had to use are - convert one schedule to text then do the second one, or use multiple plans and , since I use callouts for cabinet labels overlay the labels from one plan to another OR place my own callouts. once, knowing I had an issue going in, I made one group of cabinets from Base and Wall cabinets and the other Tall Cabinets with custom counters. Would be nice if it were possible to specify multiple rooms for a schedule.

I've gotten it off and on. Sometimes, if all is good, switching to vector and back, or standard and back, and/or rebuild 3D makes it go away. I only ever get the white blast when "Improve light quality" under global illumination is checked. Unfortunately that setting helps with color bleed from the backdrop. I have not yet run down the cause but I have a hunch that at least some of the time it is from an incomplete roof or one where there is a slight gap at the plane joints. Can't say for sure yet though. Job that I'm working on now is doing it. It's a "drafting only job" for an interior designer; fixing an X6 plan into X9. The plan had barely any roof on it at all and the correct roof is a bear and I have no specs, just google maps. Took a quick run at the roof but it's not needed for the job and any PBRs I do are bonus so turned "Improve light quality off. Got a few decent images that way.

Took a bit, turned off the lights in the Dining room , did not do it but I'd at least turn off shadow for those in this view since they do weird things to the ceiling. Solution for the wall was "0" room divider, then connect walls, the edit wall intersection.

Well more- only because I so rarely use RTs. I prolly have done more PDRs in the last few months than all the RTs I ever didi Early on found that extra lights help and I find them a lot easier to figure than I do with RTs (but remember I'm challenged there) Most of the ones I place are directional spot lights wide cut off angle (120-160), drop off rate 3-5, lumens under 3000, no shadows. Height and angle up or down depends. Have placed some others for fill. I first needed these to cut down on color bleed from backdrops which has improved and I hope will be gone by Friday. I've found that almost every view benefits from one to 3 extras. Interestingly while not my baliwick found that adding lights for exterior can help, even nighttime. For this I left your invisible wall and just made all the offending walls stop at ceiling. IF that is not working try Edit Wall intersection layers OR a zero thickness room divider. OOPS missed that back wall running a new one now

yes

Change the half wall to "stop at ceiling above". I first changed the invisible walls to room dividers since those have caused issues for me in the past with PBR,not sure it that matters. First one is with room dividers- still shows line, second is after changing the half wall. Think the first one was exported at 3000 wide 300 dpi. second was 3000, 600 dpi. There was no saved camera in there just the walk through BTW.

Thanks Eric, no thanks whoever decided it's obsolete.

Is it there? where? Have a couple of bath rooms and the cross section slider doesn't quite do it with PBR since it mucks up the light.

Since "blends" showed up, here is PBR with a line drawing on top, stacked them in Bluebeam and exported. And the original PDB. For some reason I've been undable to make that work again with the Z images.... have no idea what is. I showed the PBR with line on top to CA in Orlando -who knows if that arrives. The second set shows the undercabinet lights (these are Graham's lights but I may have adjusted something), and through one more in for luck. All are from X9 plans of jobs this last year. The first (T) and last (Z) were done pre-public beta, middle one was in the current release. All have extra light sources placed in them-dragged to be directional and almost all pointing up at some angle. None of these have updated materials. I know I had to reduce the reflection of the floor in T and maybe did that in Z, ceiling in Green is also matte. Green was the most challenging, there are lights inside the glass cabinets and a couple to show the ceiling beams. Follows are the settings Note that P settings are for T (don't ask) Z settings are for the Z images. I'd expect the settings will change with final release so wouldn't get too excited about those. What I'm finding is the rest of the lighting, makes big difference as does the backdrop and moving a camera more than about 110 degrees requires changes. You may or may not know that I've never posted (AFAIR) to this thead IOW you really don't want to see my RT's.

Ran across a discussion of that driver this morning. There were some interesting things said about nVidia drivers in general. Now these are mostly geeks and gamers so some of it is unintelligible to me. http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/nvidia-geforce-drivers-v-390-77-whql-findings-fixes.813230/ I don't update drivers unless the mfg offers them. On my last machine I updated the nVidia driver because it's so often touted on here. Only time I ever had trouble with it. I'd at least read the release notes to see if it offered anything relevant to me.

Xoticpc and hidevolution both ship internationally. I have no idea if the prices work out better but likely not after duty is paid. Almost all Clevo sellers list wihout an OS, they are considered barebones systems, though in the last year or so Sager has started to include Win 10 Home standard. Don't know if they ship up to you. I've used both Sager and Xotic and happy enough with both. Likely will get the next one from Hidevolution. The one weakness, though it hasn't caused me any issues, with Sagers/Clevos are limited bios updates. Hidevotlution is partnered with Prema BIOS.

They are a newer reseller of Clevo and not on the list. I'd found one reference with a quick web search for Eluktronics and notebookreview.com. That's where I saw it was a Clevo (but I can usually tell looking through a brands line. There aren't any Clevos as small and light as a surface and I don't think they make any 2 in 1 machines or touch screen at this point. I'd expect this year maybe but that is not the target market AFAIK. There are a bunch of 2 in 1 machines in the pipeline from others. I got the Spectre at a steal so didn't wait and suits what I had in mind (or it did with X9, not as much with 10 but expect improvement next week About the smallest Clevo with some https://www.sagernotebook.com/Notebook-NP8952.html

Clevo machines are ALL sold by a " reseller" who rebrands them. Most customize them, varying degrees of service and testing. http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/clevo-guide-v3-0-faq-and-reseller-info-read-before-posting.592609/

Those are Clevo machines (same as Sager, Evoc, and some others) which I like. Not so sure about the reseller though- a quick look only found one reference on notebookreview.com

Fill should be in Cabinet Defaults. I don't know if you have the ALDO? which is in View-Active Layer Display Options. If you do the easiest way to turn off cabinet labels would be from there (so long as you have that layer?) When you select objects any layers associated with what is selected show up there and no others. If you don't have that you can group select all the cabinets and "suppress label"

My work is split between frameless inset almost exclusively, very little framed overlay (only super budget jobs) Some are semi-custom, some custom. Every maker or brand I've dealt with for the last 8 years makes frameless bases 24" deep standard, walls 13 or 13-1/2" standard. Insets bases are the same but one custom house uses 1" face frames so Base 24-1/2. Inset walls run come 13, 13-1/2 and 14" standard depending on who is making them (selling 12" deep inset is inviting trouble) All allow about 1/4" scribe at the back for wanky walls. Everyone I work with uses computerize panel saws so yield is not an issue with standard cabinet ply, they all do enough volume that it would matter. Counters-I've put in less than half a dozen "standard 25" deep" laminate counters in that time (about the same for the seven years prior). Most counters I see are Granite, E-stone, Corian and we do them at 25-1/2 to 26 on overlay; 25" deep counters on insets. Sinks, dishwashers and accessory inserts- A lot of American DW's need 24" depth or they stick out too far, worse if they are paneled (I prefer Euro DWs which are not an issue) Sinks we need enough meat for stone to support itself. Wine coolers get to be an issue as do many cabinet accessories are sized for 24" depth. As to tweaking depth- 75% of American women want an island, most in their kitchen, a few want Tahiti and a couple more will take Manhattan. I use NKBA aisle clearances as a minimum always (except in Manhattan) so there are times where tweaking is needed but if that is the case I'm working with much shallower cabinets than 24 and don't put appliances in the run.

Thanks
