In reply to: Saving Design Files – Corrupting
Hi Neil,
Thank you for your response. Are you saying there is no way that 20-20 Design cannot determine that when a file is saved while designing, it cannot force the .kit extension? That’s really all I wanted to know. I understand the reasoning behind not using periods in the naming convention, but unfortunately, there is bound to be at least one in the 1,000+ team members that use the program. I have made sure everyone knows of the problem in our 20-20 Help Tips for the team members, but it does happen.
Thanks again, Neil!

Hello,
Issues like that usually occur when 2020 is in a low memory state. Here is what I like to call my 32 bit speech. It explains the issue and gives some tips on how to avoid it.
Out of memory messages are an ongoing issue with 2020 that they are working hard to resolve. The Issue arises from the fact that 2020 Design is still a 32bit application. As a result of that Windows will only ever assign about 2.5 GB of RAM to the program. If 2020 has been open for a long period (3-4 hours), If there are multiple designs or multiple renderings open, if you modify mouldings or countertops, if you import Items from Sketchup or use imported textures, etc… the memory allotment fills up and you will start to get these errors.
To avoid the error the first thing to do is make sure you are on the latest version of the software. They made some changes in version 11.8 and higher that have a positive effect on memory management. If you have been working in 2020 for 3 or 4 hours save what you are working on and then close and reopen the software. Make sure you have the latest driver for your video card. Newer drivers are generally more efficient than older drivers. Other things you can try is to limit the size of your designs. If you usually layout the entire ground floor of the house, try to limit it to just the kitchen or bathroom you are designing instead. Limit the number of items imported from Sketchup. 2020 has no control over the quality of the items generated in Sketchup and as such some of them will cause issues with the software. The same with importing textures. Imported textures are much “Heavier” than textured pulled from the catalogs and can cause the out of memory issues.
Hope that helps and when we go to the 64 bit version of the software (V12) later this year most of the memory issues should go away.

I agree multiple rooms would be handy. Also, the ability to have multiple floor levels (sunken lounges are common over here) would be good as well.
