I'm using the same .Plan file and also tried a new project created in X16.  The Physically Base Rendering is considerable slower.  

Video Card is Nvidea 4080.  Anyone else notice this?

yes, much more choppy. hope thats resolved in Full release.

You never drag items from the library. I'm pretty sure you just select it in the library and Draw a wall out as you normally would.

it would have to exist in the Plan for you to use it. 

if it's not....then you would need to Create/make a new OR import it, so that you have it, to able to use it.

Hi, 

i thought i have done this step/task many time before of importing a Wall Type from the Library.

I thought you could always just drag and drop the Wall Type it into your plan? 

That doesn't seem to work anymore, or am I forgetting some other step it another way to do it??

i was ponder this same idea.

they have Field for it in the schedule but no attribute.

disappointing that CA cant generate a Wall elevation Area.  

they already have % openings field, which is great.

Not sure why they won't provide the Wall height. Instead of making us jumping thru hoop to have it. 

hi, nice to see Total Row in Schedule!!

how can i show the Wall Areas into the schedule??

X16 Wall Elevation Area.plan

Hello, how do I show this?
just portion of the planking. And the framing exposed.

X16....wish list..Ultra High Def for Stars and Moon

hi, 

I have my walls set to Gable, and it added the Hip still.

one side is correct, bur the other side added the hip above it

any suggestion to solve this?

hi,

i have a Dropped floor on this plan, one in front of the house, and one at the rear of the house. Both are the same room type,

but the rear floor is poking through the foundation wall. And the front is not.

hi all,

there's anywhere that i can grab this Glass Panel Door?

don't have to be that specific panel size. just in general.

Beauty...THANK YOU, A_S!!

hi, 

is there some place where i can get a 3D object of a Open Web Steel joist/truss??

My first job was in Germany with hand drafting.  That's the way we did doors at least in schematics.

 

in Canada too.

thank you CS!

hi, is theres a Marco i can use (native in CA, or custom that i can buy) to pull the Wall > Object information into a Text Box?

Hi, is there a way to change the door symbol in a 2D, plan view?

Why can't you just change the ceiling heights of three rooms on the upper floor and then auto build roofs?

yes, you can do that. by changing the ceiling height from 8' to 10', so it raise the roof 24"....but i DON'T want to change the Ceiling height (wall height) of the 3 rooms.  i need the ceiling to be at the 8', same as the rest of the building.

theres not an option to Lock the Ceiling height at 8' and raise the Roof to what you prefer.....well, you can! by changing the Truss Energy heel height. but that's if the roof is in one piece, not the 3 piece as i shown here.

not sure why CA dont have the ability to set the Edge Line Df.& Pattern Line Df, in Plan, before sending to Layout.

such PIA....to have to change these for every Elevation views in Layout, one by one.

my solution is adding a floor to the end units with 18" wall height. let middle unit as 2 stroreys.

Auto build the roof... and i got this.

then go up to Attic level and delete the Attic wall at on the Middle unit.

hi,

i did this manually by just copy and lowered the middle piece. 

how / what can i set to get Auto Roof to generate multi section and multi height Roof plan like.  

theoretically, i would divide the attic level into 3 space, matching/lined up to the Suite demising wall....and adjust the truss Heel height to +12" on the outer unit, and the middle unit at 0"

how can i do this?

There are several ways of accomplishing your end goal.  I would personally put Terrains a little further down my list of preferred methods though.  You could pretty easily use Faces extruded into Solids or you could even use actual Roof Planes.  Both of my preferred methods would essentially be done using your rafters as a wire frame.  Faces would result in a smoother but less dynamic end product.  Roof planes would require a little extra work but also carry a bunch of other benefits.  Anyway, here's a quick example of how roof planes could be used.  Your rafters were imperfectly modeled, so the resulting roof planes aren't quite perfect, and I didn't take any time to deal with the material definitions which may be necessary depending on the roofing material, but hopefully this should give you the basic idea.  At the end of the day, I don't recall having yet found a roof that couldn't be accomplished using multiple planes though...

any possible method to accomplish this with just one  Roof plane...now that we have X15,  could we generate roof trusses for it?

Are you talking about something like this?

 

YES!! exactly that.

is this using CA - Roof Plane...??? or manually drawn by some other method?

hi,

how can draw a Descending Roof, front gable is 8/12 and descend to a 4/12 rear gable?

thank you.

I feel like there are probably some users out there that are pushing the boundaries of what is possible for 3D renders further than the samples provided on the company website. I'm interested to see what is possible using CA. How realistic can it look?

no CA render can compare using Twinmotion.
