No guessing necessary, for raster based images, its the number of planks in the preview window which shows the diffuse texture, in this case 4, then multiplied by the size of the plank, in your case 5", making it 20" for the texture I have shown for vector based graphics, we just need to specify the grid spacing at 5" and a vertical offset if necessary, then check keep pattern and texture in sync

regarding spacing, that is done from the texture panel of the material dialog box and you still have the ability to change that vector based rendering techniques would show pattern spacing and thats still available from the pattern panel

Ah okay you were referring to brightness and shininess, and I can understand why they got rid of those settings as those settings don't directly correlate with the relevant setting that have to do with raytracing which is the new feature in the home designer line. So whereas you could directly effect those settings before, you cannot now. Instead you get access to the larger set of catalogs that do incorporate bump and normal maps even though you dont have direct access to them. And in order to take advantage of something that is shiny, you have to start creating a material from a material that is already classified as shiny. Also, you have access to the asset manager now, which gives you access to a large number of textures. For instance you can make a siding material that is actually glowing, haha So you actually have a lot more capabilities in materials albeit you lost the ability to change shininess and brightness...which i get, and too bad, but you can start from a material that is already glossy for example I'd be curious to see what people come up with as they navigate all of the raytrace materials

Im not following, these aren't terms I am familiar with, properties panel? of a dialog box?. To my knowledge there is no exposure setting on a material. Making a screen? such as a porch screen? What "pattern" are you referring to? i was able to make a screen material from something i imported:

if you want to join:

define material tool is there, can you elaborate? Roof Framing works, bearing wall is there: For bearing you either use a foundation wall set to bearing or a framing member to designate a bearing line. a lil bit different but kind've takes an additional step out.

can you tell me what they are. I am about to go on a live youtube looking at HDPro 2026

you lost features?

select all library items, then apply an "untagged" tag, now select all tagged items and remove the untagged tag, then click on the untagged tag again and those will be the items that need to be tagged

Hey thanks for the shout out, may I ask your name? I don't see it anywhere on your site etc. Barndo's is a hot market, I am sure the calls will start flowing

POST 119 I put together a really easy method for assembling arched cabinets. Included are a project file with plan and a calibz file. the video has the necessary files which are prompted in the first 30 seconds. If you are trying to build an arched cabinet, this method should only take about 5 minutes Click in my signature to navigate to our new forum for more free symbols CLICK ME TO GO BACK TO THE INDEX!!!

This is quite substantially discounted if you pay annually. Check with chief, you may be able to use a prior version such as X16. Also, for me SSA is the cost of doing business. Consider this, in 4 or 5 years your older software may not support your newer hardware if you upgrade a computer. This is a common occurance, where new graphics drivers or hardware render an older software incompatible. The inverse is true as well, such as the intel macs not being supported in X17. My last two cents and its specific to my workflow but the templates I have from my historical data are 50-60% more efficient than they were in X11. That more than covers the cost difference of staying up to date with SSA. ALSO, and keep in mind I do a high volume of jobs, just schedule wrapping alone saved me near $500 on the year, and 3d dimensions saved $1K just from an efficiency standpoint...so the new versions features paid for the cost of the software

This will get rid of it and draw a rail instead:

sure, send a file my way. renerabbitt@gmail.com

I personally prefer the whole project, often times it gives context or contains something we need depending on what's being groubleshooted. Also for sharing with work colleagues ot progress a set, this is a preferred sharing file formwt

I'm not sure why no one is mentioning this yet but in this industry you really should have a cloud service and give us a link to the download. Use wetransfer for free https://wetransfer.com/pricing?trk=NAV_pricing

Edit/Default Settings/CAD/General CAD/ set to "Quadrant Bearing"

thats not going to work for me, I am not so enamored with the AI results when its changing things like the sharpness and fidelity of my carriage doors and suddenly bringing a cityscape into the background and changing my siding over my carriage doors to board and battn. etc. This ends up being a large liability for me..no AI I am trying to get a very accurate spec representation with a close up interior shot and want a practical implementation not a generated one. I am offering spec, it needs to be exacting. I have a very specific geometric tile I am trying to show in a sun study.

ive done this but I dont seem to be getting a night time look at the end. Ill try again

I know its possible to do a stationary time-lapse but I can't seem to figure out how to make this go from day to night?

So to be clear, I wanted to say I am not combatting your request, that is still valid, I am responding just to give you solutions in the meantime. My answer assumes you make a multitude of framing defaults for different beam setups or possibly one beam with variable input concrete cover you can already create just by creating your own definitions based on the wxhxd of your beam your variable or your beam type determines stirrup type, i.e., change the framing default to beam type 2 and it changes your stirrup type. (You would be doing the same thing with your request, some type of user input would be required) This should be as simple as creating beam type 1 in your framing defaults equal to Two Legged Stirrups, etc.
