Curious if 'Interior dimensions' is available in X12?  

Yes. But I forgot that "volume" was not yet an option in the room schedule in X12. My apologies. 

However, it is weird that your Interior Area (Sq Ft) is not calculating.

Thank you Steve. Very informative.

volume isn't calculating correctly

If you change to "interior dimensions" in your schedule, instead of "standard dimensions", it may help. I think the "volume" calculation uses interior numbers.

Showplace Wood Products® Library. Style "Pendleton II". Just use the door for the drawer. 

Do you have the foundation set to rebuild?

Agreed. Very limited. Twinmotion?  e-on Plant Catalog?

Maybe a wall layer that is designated as "framing" that shouldn't be?

Polyline Solid?

Thuja plicata?

Maybe select the wall and hit the "reverse layers" button on the edit bar. 

50?  I can't remember that far back!

You're welcome!   

When I manually add a "furring wall" to the inside of the concrete stem wall and refresh the auto story pole dim, it adds 1-1/2" to the "top of Foundation" elevation. 

If I create a foundation wall that includes the furring wall from the start, it works correctly. Is yours manual, or part of your "foundation wall" type?

As soon as I re-built the framing, I got this:

So it must be related to manual framing. Disconnects evidently.

My file?

No, sorry, Gene. I also could not access your file. I just did what I did in one of my own. 

Do you get no "Decks-Walks" materials if you generate a list for all floors?

If I try to get a material list by selecting the deck "room",, I get nada. If I calculate all floors it shows up under I.D.: Decks-Walks. But at least I can shut all else off and isolate the deck mats that way.

I had issues with my entire mac locking and shutting down when closing a 3D view during the X15 Beta

You weren't using Universal Control when that was happening by any chance?

I  was freezing, crashing and burning until I realized CA doesn't like Universal Control (using same mouse and keyboard on two computers at the same time.) 

Uncheck "Framing" on the Drywall layer.

No, first thing I tried was putting lights into the cabinet but was nogo. Just light room normally. Then play with material definition- first slight transparency- these were 10% which was about average highest. Then emissive as noted depends on type of view. Oddly need more emissive for real time ray trace than for standard view. I have a hunch the image you posted was a standard view where 1 is too high.

Perfect!  Nice job!

I set the sun to 1000 Lux, the camera exposure to 0.2, and emissive to 150. May still not be want you really want, but....  Another approach might involve Photoshop, but that would bring its own set of variables. 

You could try changing the material properties to "General Material" and adjusting the "emissive" setting.

direction of the wood grain

No matter what I do, the grain does not obey. Is there a secret to making the grain reflect reality?

Don't have an M1 or M2. I also cannot ray trace interior without crashing my system. I don't ray trace at all so I have no idea how long it's been this way. Just tested for this thread. 

Very nice work!
