    Hi Eric Yes, you're right! I've actually just watched a video which confirmed I just need to bring it up, like you mentioned. Regards, Rod https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/719/one-and-a-half-story-roofs.html?playlist=95

    Hi guys Having some with my two storey roof, which is based on a cape cod roof. I have posted pics of the process, the issue I get is the 2nd storey flooring appears through the roof (last pic). I'm scratching my head on this one. Regards, Rod

    Hi guys Thank you for all the help! I have filled in the gap by building my foundation as suggested. Regards, Rod

    Hi Jon Thanks for the post. I understand the way you've done yours. I guess I will have to fill the gaps like you have done yours. Thanks again, Rod

    Hi Michael Thank you for your post. I have set this to 700mm, however is there a way I can display concrete (slab) underneath opposed to it just floating? As I will adjust the terrain slope, and the garage for example wont have a deck around the edge, so I will need to connect that to the ground so it's not in mid air. I appreciate your help. Regards, Rod

    Hi guys I'm having some trouble with raising my structure above the terrain, as my house design will be raised up and have a deck around the house. I have attached an example of a house which I will be designing, and need to achieve the effect shown in the image. I have looked on knowledge base and training videos, but I'm not sure of the most efficient way to achieve this? Regards, Rod

    Hi guys Again, sorry for the the eternity it's taken for me to get back on here, been very busy. Someone did suggest something about the birdsmouth cut, so I altered this back to 0 when building a new roof of one of my new designs, and it seem to correct the problem I was having :-) Dollhouse view now displays how it use to. Thanks again for all the help. Side note: I have attached some screenshots for reference etc. Regards, Rod

    Hi Mark I've had a chance to look into adjusting the cabinet settings. I opened up your plan and repeated settings etc. Thanks a lot, that has given me a much better understanding of how it works. Side note: I have attached a completed render to see the fruits of your labour. Much appreciated. Rod

    *inexperience that would be :-/

    Hi Mark Thanks for your feedback. Showing my in experience of the program here, but would you have a link/tag to a video that demonstrates this, or knowledge base? Regards, Rod

    Hi guys Just wondering if there is an easy way to edit the shape of full height cabinet? I just need to fill in the corner space pictured in screenshot, ideally just selecting points and dragging them where I want manually. Have been looking through knowledge base, but nothing stood out :-/ Appreciate any help I can get. Cheers, Rod

    Hi guys Sorry for the lack if response. My client whom I am doing the designs for requested another angle of the Dollhouse view, so purely by fluke I have been able to avoid it for now (and have been avoiding it). I tried a couple things, but will give the roof elevations a go, as it's obviously a roof setting I've messed up in my default settings a while back :-/ Greatly appreciate your feedback, and will present my findings shortly. Regards, Rod

    Thanks Guys I checked out the layer displays (if I even have the correct setting etc), and turned it off, but now luck. I have attached the plan if you wanted to take a look? Regards, Rod Plan 2_CAF.plan

    Hi guys I've been designing a few houses, with generally the same settings, however when I view this particular one in Doll House view, I noticed the exterior wall is displaying wood at the top of the wall. As you can see the house in the left image, is what I would normally get, however the house on the right is the issue I'm having. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Rod

    Yeah thanks for the tip Graham. I'm beginning to see some better results. Thanks again, Rod

    Hi guys Thanks for all the help! Chopsaw, those videos were great! And I have looked into the other suggestions also, big help. I have a long way to go still, but have made some adjustments with lighting and also the settings etc. Love the sunlight coming into the room, gives such a natural look :-) Improved image attached FYI, thanks again guys. Regards, Rod

    Hi all Thanks for all the support guys. Chopsaw, I have started watching those vids, and yes I will get into the video tutorials a lot more, very very helpful. I have started to play with lighting and already seeing some great results while experimenting, but I will knuckle-down and play with the other suggested settings when I get a chance on the weekend :-) I look forward to sharing my results once I reach the "pot of gold" at the end of the rainbow Regards, Rod

    Hi guys, and thank you. Yes it seems like I have a long way to go to perfect an interior Ray Trace Chopsaw, I have attached a screenshot which shows adjusting "Tone Mapping", is this what you mean when you say "Photon Mapping", or is this a completely different thing? I am currently reading through a previous post (still at work) that a few members were discussing with the same problem, I have started to play with lighting, and can see I've only touched the tip of the ice berg. Regards, Rod

    Hi guys I've been rendering using Ray Trace, however I can't seem to get really clear interior images, as they have alot of NOISE on the image. I'm allowing it for around 30 Passes. Is this not enough? Or do I need to adjust a setting? (image attached). Thanks in advance. Regards, Rod
  21. rodhealydesign
    Thanks Michael OK, I now see the option is in fact there when exporting a standard image, however when I am trying to do it from an image I have just Ray Traced, it's completely different. I should of mentioned I am trying it for a Ray Traced image. Is this option somewhere else for Ray Traced images? Regards, Rod

    Hi guys Is it possible to export a tiff (after rendering with Ray Trace) from Premier with a Transparent background? When exporting Tifs in Home Designer Professional, I could just select an option for transparent background, but I can't see the same option for Premier anywhere. My images are just exporting with a slight grey background, although I would like it transparent for the ease adding sky/background effects in Photoshop. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Rod

    Oops, sorry Joe, that wasn't my intention at all, I wanted to just mark as "solved" :-) Thanks again, Rod

    Hi guys Ok, so as the old saying goes "There is many ways to skin a cat". I read through the various posts, and achieved the effect I was looking for. I just created Cube Shape, and applied the "course brick" to the shape and altered angle and shape to suit. Was a little bit fidley, but seemed to work. Thanks again. See attached. Cheers, Rod

    Thanks guys I have had a quick look at your posts, and there is surely a solution to my issue in there somewhere I will thoroughly go them tonight (once I finish work and put the kids to bed) and complete my objective. Thanks again for your input, much appreciated. Cheers, Rod
