I have uploaded plan. Think I may be doing foundation wrong. It should be 10' finished ceilings, but it keeps coming out 118.5 finished and 120 rough. All other ceilings in plan are 10'

Some of the walls you can see daylight also.

You can do it manually if you wish. Just go to MS websight and download

I included a pic of basement wall. You can see top plate or some piece of framing where wall meets the ceiling. Can not figure out how to eliminate this. Only on exterior foundation walls. Betwen floors 1 and 2 it does not do this.

Nevermind, my terrain perimeter was to large. No 1 mile x 1 mile perimeters. Sorry, but thanks for all the help.

Ok, we still have a problem with Ray Traces. I rebuilt the plan from scratch and it still is worse than before system crash. I have attached several examples.

1A is of an empty room (Camera View)

1B is a 25 pass Ray Trace without Photon Mapping it took 1m 32s

1C is a 25 pass Ray Trace with Photon Mapping it took 8m 42s

Not to bad.

2A is of a bathroom vanity and cabinets (Camera View)

2B is a 25 pass Ray Trace without Photon Mapping it took 2m 23s

2C is a 25 pass Ray Trace with Photon Mapping it took 10m 34s

Still not bad considering the mirror.

3A is also in bathroom. Shot of a seating area, cabinets and shower entry (Camera View)

3B is a 25 pass Ray Trace without Photon Mapping it took 2m 30s (But dark with 4 light sources)

3C is a 25 pass Ray Trace with Photon Mapping it took 10m 46s

Still not bad

4A is same as 3A with window (Camera View)

4B is a 25 pass Ray Trace without Photon Mapping it took 6m 15s (But dark with 4 light sources)

4C try a 25 pass Ray Trace with Photon Mapping & I get: The following error occured Unable to perform photon mapping.

It has something to to with the outside, backdrop or something. It has a very large terrain perimeter.

I ran one earlier of 3C and it took over 3 hours. I don't know if a texture or material is slowing it down or what. I have also attached the plan itself. Just adding general light sourses, no fixtures. I uninstalled CA X7 and reinstalled and the speed is acceptable. Just can't figure out why it crashes with a window or an outside shot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had to recover plans using a data rescue program from a crashed hard drive. After I copied the plan into a new plan it worked fine.

I may have solved it. I copied floor plan into a new plan and it works fine norw. I guess plan got corrupted when PC crashed. Now I need to know if there is an easy way ow Copt/Paste all 3 floors at once so everything lines up or do I have to do Basement and second floor over?

I had to do a clean install of OS and all software. Now when I do a Ray Trace I get the following error message: Unable to perform photon mapping. It goes through 1 or 2 passes then stops. It performed perfectly before reinstall. It will do a Ray Trace perfectly turning Photon Mapping off, but it looks better and less grainy on. Any ideas guys.

I was wondering how to attach a showerhead to a shower arm. I have downloaded a couple from Kohler, but they are the head only. How do you get them on the arm. Thanks
