When opening this plan it appears as if no manual editing has been done and all roof planes are connected

I probably need more info from the OP...if I am understanding correctly he wants the same text in 4 rich text boxes, in that case one identical macro could be placed in 4 boxes and you would only need to change the macro's text. This is particularly helpful in ensuring that redundant information remains accurate

Use Macros in your rich text, then change the macro's text

Thats still a lot of work, I would fight hard to get the originals

You can do it a number of different ways, I think for this scenario set your ceiling material to insulation air gap, check no flat ceiling in your room dbx. and set your roof structure to have beams as required

Just a thought, it may be more cost effective to request one as needed, converting to PDF can get pricey. Would you be willing to share one so we can see what the workload would entail?

The part that was tricky I didnt clarify...speaking about adding dimensions and annotations over a rendering gets tricky

tricky but doable, you need yo do a orthographic floor overview using the line drawing technique

What glenn said, +1

Quadro has never been worth the premium for a Chief Architect only workflow IMO, CA does not utilize the gfx card to this extent

Thank you, appreciated...whats crazy is I spent nearly no time on this one..I might save it for later and really keep working it as an exercise. The new Thea is pretty exciting

CA model only, no imports, spent 30 minutes establishing materials, camera settings and environment, 9 minute render. no post processing

That was from April last year, I may still have been in x9, did you try to install?

Sent you a text, 510 Bay Area here.

just to clarify, CA's native format is a calibz file, are these calibz or 3ds or dae etc?

unless its a raised mono in which case CA wont let you? womp womp

Just did a near no-setup, 1 minute render in Thea for sketchup to test something out..kinda cool that even a muddled render conveys the intent of this kitchen. Didn't even spend time trying to fix mapping or materials etc.

I don't use the raytrace engine anymore but a few things to note, you are overdoing it with user added lights, these are a crutch that should only be used when absolutely necessary in a raytrace...mileage may vary in a PBR...Short of it is that you're flooding the scene. Your lights are set too warm..CA doesn't work with Kelvins the way one would hope, soft white lights need to be nearly white or you will drown out your details. Also you have modified some lights and changed them from points to directional lighting without setting the proper direction. Here is a quick low res raytrace I did after setting your light temps and dropping your user lights...See the depth coming back in. Also Vector Renders show properly for me, I saw no issue there Notice you're missing lights like hallway lights, which is likely why you added lights. Lastly, your palette does not vary enough from a design perspective IMO, it needs either varying sheens or varying hues or a broader range of shading to distinguish architectural features

Could you please post a .plan file with saved cameras illustrating the issue..Would you also post a vector view for reference...the images you shared may have "bloom" enabled and no blurry vector view was posted

I also don't seem to understand the issue, I feel as if licensing works as it should..my understanding was that you licensed a machine for x-10 and tried to open an x-11 file in the field with that machine. That points to user error..if you needed both licenses you would need to license your machine accordingly...as a standard practice It would make no sense to automatically license both versions when an end user goes to activate just one, especially in a multi-user environment

hate that you cant block room planner boxes together for preset house types

What are you doing with the Alienware in your sig?

you're making my cord management OCD skyrocket right now!! take it that last 10%!!!
