PS: I wish they would take the food disposal outlet symbol out of "switches" and put it in with the rest of the plugs! It always takes me a while to find it.

Oh, Thats right, now I remember
A system to permit a designer to select the minimum scene refresh rate or animation redraw rate acceptable by the designer. The system also incorporates a selection of presentation methods for the three-dimensional objects in a scene, arranged in decreasing fidelity, and consequently in computational complexity, as fall back positions for the general rendering technique. Using the designer's selected refresh rate as a target, the system attempts to use the highest quality rendering technique selected by the designer. If the computational complexity of the scene causes the refresh rate of the scene to fall below the minimum acceptable level selected by the designer, the system selects the next lower rendering option selected by the designer, thus degrading the presentation quality of the scene and simultaneously reducing the computational complexity of the task.

Fitch,
We fixed the electrical connection issues in X1.2 that we know of and put in code to correct the problems on load from previous X1 versions.
One tip is to use advanced spline handles when editing the spline based electrical connections.Doug Park

Ok, so in order to start a wall for a building at 0,0 should I create a profile plan with a point marker like this at 0.0?
And then every time I start a plan, start drawing my walls at this marked point?Rob Fisher

Ok so now I have this: see below.
It is a regular plan with grid set to 1" and 12" with the siding 6 wall set at the main wall layer being on the origin point.
Is this the way you setup your profile plan?Jim Rogers

One quick note about the framing reference marker,,,
The first joist/rafter auto placed by the program is places face to face,,,,, not outside to center. If you wish to have the first member placed 16” OC from an exterior wall,,,, for 2x stock, the marker need to be ¾” away from the outside wall. This will produce the real world layout (that is cape cod real world) J

I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)

If you guys get a Tips and Tricks thread going that stays on topic, I can see about getting it stickied.
