  1. copy/paste reflect about circle and replace text with a character space
  2. I personally never found room dimensions to be useful at all under any circumstances. Dimension the rooms. What happens when you have an L shaped room...it's just not useful in my opinion.
  3. is it really necessary to show the reveal? I would charge the client extra if that were the case. Off hand, easy way is to use material regions/backsplash tool to cut parent layer and set assembled thickness to an 1/8"

  5. Preface that I do not use the material list function. All objects/symbols have a component panel in its respective dialogue box that reports its accounting code. You would need to open each component and change its accounting code and then set that object to default, such as walls, and then save this to a template or library. It would probably be easier with framing for instance to have all framing report to a custom schedule whose columns are limited to only one column "Code" and then choose open row object and drop in the macro %accounting_code% in the code designation of the OIP So that it reports the accounting code to the code column in the master material list or you can simply past =accounting_code in the code column of your material list or type in your own codes.
  6. I do this type of work all of the time, bid only, my hour is much shorter than most. here is a link to my offering services thread. I am a known technician within the community. Thanks for your consideration.
  7. Willing to travel and have a 120-150" 4K projector for sessions. Your 20 year users will gain knowledge from sessions as is my experience with others of this level of experience. Same as your intermediate and beginner. My suite of assets and tools can cut down drafting times drastically and I maintain systems for file redundancy and cloud based project management as well. Cost for in person is substantially higher per hour so I encourage a week long trip for such things. I can also train via Streamyard So you know, there is a significant training event happening in Feb that I will be teaching at power user level as well as my partners teaching at intermediate to advanced. That event is here: https://www.chiefexpertsacademy.com/chief-architect-outer-banks-nc-total-immersion-by-chief-experts-2023
  8. Board and batten is best when using the material region tool as a trick. Serious rendering artists are not going to use a texture for board and batten unless the composition is from very far away. BTW I already have several high quality siding textures that I give away here on the forums in the symbols and content section or direct from my website in the free stuff section. Your template scene does not need grass to be applied FYI, I personally would prefer it if it weren't and instead was erased but still in the container tree so that we could apply it. Should be applied as the skatter tool instead of the painter tools. I do go over this several times in various twinmotion live videos on my youtube
  9. Because of its ties to unreal 5. The industry is moving in this direction as a whole and unreal has widespread use, much broader than Lumion. Also ease of use and continued developments. Twinmotion produced a pathtracer 2 full quarters sooner than lumion for instance. Another reason, integration with quixel megascans and sketchfab. and one more, twinmotion ships free with autodesk products now and utilizes the datasmith plugin.
  10. Yes keep it up, templating is a good approach I saw the video working on the hillside, the building itself still lacks the secondary maps that would make it realistic. Also noticed you aren't using the pathtracer...I would suggest that you start to build out materials with supporting maps to save to your twinmotion library, and also consider using scene backdrops so you arent flooding the background with trees to hide the undeveloped terrain..this is the purpose of the scene backdrop. This scene for instance only uses two trees, the background is a spherical HDRI You can see it clearly with these two, two totally different HDRI's
  11. You are getting this look because you are not using supportive maps in twinmotion, such as normal/roughness/displacement/metal maps. I would also suggest using generated grass as opposed to a grass texture
  12. This is true, as you are introducing new light sources..just like a camera you would need to play with settings to achieve your desired effect. You would need to put them in a container and save the container. You can also save painter groups which is what I wouldve been using to generate the tree line
  13. You can generate your own HDR skydomes so that you dont need to change the weather to generate clouds if you want them. You can also save different tree arrangements to your library
  14. I have some videos on my youtube about working on the same plan at the same time. It is doable, I've done this with @rgardner before

  16. X14, and you May want to check your email for chiefs new subscription model, you’re going to be priced out of new software soon if you don’t keep with the SSA. Just letting you know in case you weren’t aware. maybe time for a new computer surprised to hear that your machine won’t run x14… are you sure? whats your machine make and model?
  17. I have something like this in my pro plan template..see 330 seconds in
  18. Menu button isnt on any of my keyboards..any idea what ascii key it reps? no problem with writing in any number of delays, but slower single threaded processors cannot keep up with really tight delays in some cases. SO I might make a suggestion for a method from chief to access a library search with a single hotkey
  19. What is the "Menu" key? I prefer the radial menus I have setup for my connexion which can also record macros, but every keystroke adds time especially to my slower single threaded speeds on my 14 core
  20. Yeah thats what I came up with. Hotkey for the library 2x followed up ctrl+A+Del. Ugh, annoying.
  21. Is this possible without having to open and close the library? Can we tab into the library search input?
  22. POST 91 #freesymbolfriday is here for Chief Architect on The Rabbitt Design Feed Giving away this theme pack from my trip to Joshua Tree. Includes a backdrop done 3 ways, 10K resolution, 6K resolution, and 10K underexposed. Includes a metal grate over painted surface texture. Includes a very custom mosaic stone tile Enjoy!

  23. Certainly..but not much more time. I designed this home with no reference material today in 4 hours. The condocs will take another 3 because it is a type of construction I am unfamiliar with. This is threadjacking, but, I am a brand advocate and I think their is a big divide here between the understanding of the casual user as to why this software is getting priced against Revit. So I'll post this
