    When you export the image from chief use the pixel size recommended from the website. Or resize, compress your existing images with a picture editing software.

    Hi Jim, What you are seeing is the default sun shining from the right of screen. Your shadows are turned off in the camera you used. Try using the Cad line tool, north pointer, and sun angle in plan view. Then rotate the north arrow to move the sun position.

    Hi Neil, I made a symbol of the house and imported that into your terrain plan. There was a warning about missing textures but I think it will find the path once its back on your machine. cheers, Michael lot1 Modified_with_symbol.zip

    Its your room definitions that need adjusting, make the floor and ceiling on main default. Open the exterior wall dbx and under options tab make wall height default. Then make the 2nd floor open below room default heights also. Then it will work and window view will be correct.

    I think the walk thru tools are broken. Anyone else having this problem? I am trying a simple walk thru path with 2 key frames. I start the recording, save the avi file and as soon as it starts it stops. I plan on sending tech a copy.

    I looked at your plan and it appears you need to explode your floating dormers to get the roof opening polyline to work correctly. I did adjust the opening polylines to fit inside the room space under the dormer. Also as a tip for future roofing tasks :), turn off all the fill in your roof planes until you're set to send to layout. Makes it easier to work with and see whats going on. Also please set the roof base line over the framing layer of the wall it is going over. You will have less problems with getting the heights your after. RSU_MOSS_ADDITION_3_help.zip

    ok, thought i had that set to 2000 lux, it was at the default of 100,000. It made a difference for sure but still faintly there. This isn't a paying job so

    Yes tried the enhanced lighting on/off no affect. But when I tried the sun on (was using generic light follows camera setting) now it looks correct! what a bugger of a new feature! thanks Graham
