DBearss Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Curious as to how to find out what this is trying to tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 you can probably find it in the manual I don't know what it represents - except you have a task that Chief thinks needs to be done Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBearss Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Got it now. Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBearss Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 So I did make some changes to my roof planes which probably triggered the cursor. After Rebuild Walls/Floors/Ceilings its still there. Any way to pinpoint what needs to be resolved? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBearss Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Never mind. Did it again and it went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBearss Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Oops. Too soon. Keeps coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 It's going to come back any time you make a change that causes the walls, floors and ceilings to be invalid. This includes modifying any walls, rooms, ceilings, roofs, or anything else that modifies one of them because it is attached to it in some way. Basically, it will come back on anytime you change almost anything. You can make it go away and stay away by turning on Auto Rebuild Walls/Floors/Ceilings in your 3D View Defaults dialog. Was there some reason that you turned it off to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I think F12 does Rebuild Walls/Floors/Ceilings . I used to hit it often when in design mode and moving stuff around Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBearss Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 I have auto rebuild off to help with speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) David, Does that annoying icon go away if you turn off "Behavior Inidicators" in Preferences> Behaviors> Edit Type ? And then just use F12 to update when you want to as Lew suggested. Then you still have the speed advantage with Auto Rebuild Off. As per Dermot's comments below I should have said that these are very advanced settings that should only be used carefully in extreme situations where you are forcing the software to do something it was not intended to do. And you should always remember to reset those settings when you are finished with them. Edited September 27, 2017 by Chopsaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 To be honest, I have never worked with auto rebuild turned off and would never encourage anyone to. I would also be surprised if turning this off really made much of a difference in speed. Chances are that if you are experiencing slow downs with a particular plan that turning this off will not make much of a difference. You may want to look more into what is slowing down your plan instead. The bottom line is that if you are going to work with it off, you should get used to the icon. All it's doing is telling you that you need to do a BFC which you can do manually anytime you want to make sure the model is up to date. I would also recommend that you never turn off your behavior indicators. If you do, you will miss all of the useful things that the program will tell you which can avoid lots of confusion.

DBearss Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 I will have to experiment with leaving it on. And recently I believe you are correct that there may be some other issue with speed as I have recently started to get an occasional blue screen of death. BTW I closed that project to work on another. Opening it back up again the cursor is gone. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 my worry with the auto-rebuild features is if manual work has been done I wouldn't want that wiped out is there a way to protect manual work ? Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I think you will find that Chief will do an auto rebuild when it opens the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
