  1. Eric you can send a normal view with shadows, lights and reflections and textures to a 360.. very quick, I have done about 30 already. david
  2. Here is one i did for a reno we built... https://accounts.chiefarchitect.com/360/543418409804590
  3. Kirk i looked at the pannellum and it looks very interesting...you can hook up multiple 360's and go from one to another, also you can add notes to different items in the vr view..i couldnt figure out how to do it..have you? David
  4. Ca needs to fix screen and remove top and bottom bar.. I have spoke to them and they are working on fixing it. David
  5. There is an option when you do a ray trace to do 360, after it's done and stopped you export 360 view
  6. It was good to learn about these macros.. i currently do mostly renovation design build.. I go to customers home and input their existing home into a 3D as built and then do a design and price Reno. i am looking for ways to automate the material quantities for pricing purposes. with x9 I wonder if a room schedule could export martial quantities by room? Or maybe I use poly lines for flooring and wall tile? David
  7. Up here in Canada the flush eave is very popular and more or less a standard.
  8. I got it to work on fb...just cant do it from iphone, it does not recognize it as a pano. David
  9. Also anybody try the google glass view? when you send a 360 view link and open it up on your device you can move phone around and it is like you are looking at the room..or you can move view with your finger... but there is also an option to select the vr glass button at bottom and it splits view into two to be used with a vr viewer such as google glasses... When i do this i get double vision...the image still has top and bottom bars so the picture is not filling screen..no way to get rid of them..the view is double vision..not sure if it is because of this but i cant get it to work... If you download the google cardboard app from ios or google store the screen is filled with picture and it works perfectly.. David
  10. Yes i did use the bottom image to upload to facebook but it did not recognize it as a panorama.
  11. I had a problem with cabinets and stairs showing thru even though they were on the inside of model..it turned out i had a rogue item very far away from model and the program was having trouble displaying everything that far out and it effected my elevations in model..once i deleted items out there it fixed this..not sure if this is your problem.. David
  12. I tried uploading a pano to fb, it did not recognize it as a pano? David
  13. I just downloaded x9 last night and I am working a reno show this weekend. We do design build renos. The 360 viewer for showing clients is awesome...it looks so good that maybe raytrace is not needed and there is no requirement for the customer to do anything but click on link...here is one i did yesterday for interest. https://accounts.chiefarchitect.com/360/493412657314113 I look forward to finding out about other new items.
  14. Hi Dennis..you are right...too reflective..the actual floor has a low sheen...if its too reflective you loose what is going on as in my rendering... Cheers. Graham i noticed the pinkish hue...i will try that as well. David
  15. Thanks always eastern.. I will try those settings.. david
  16. Thanks for the library, not sure how you build a library but here is a carrara marble 24x24 texture i built by taking pictures of my tile and assembling so it can be used as a texture.. CA doesnet seem to have good current tile materials, i am always trying to find better ones, i would like to get some herringbone backsplash tile textures in carrara style and the brown tones to use in models like this one..anyone have these or know where to get them?
  17. thanks Graham for taking a look...here is one i did yesterday with caustics on..i also made the ceiling emissive to brighten it up... not sure if i need this with caustics? My ray trace seems very washed out... Here is the actual reno and my raytrace... David
  18. Hi chiefers..i am trying to raytrace this reno to get it close to the final renovation picture for promotional purposes. Here is the file and the after pic...anyone have any suggestions or want to try i would be most thankful. Ceiling is way too dark and i dont have a very good stainless steel texture it seems..

  19. Did that still did not work, i have run into this many times before when invisible walls meet normal walls. Here is the plan to see. 4548 stanley v1.0.zip
  20. i have selected wall first then that tool, diamonds do show up but will not allow me to drag anywhere.
  21. I select this tool but it wont allow me to pull back framing. what am i doing wrong?
  22. I have a different ceiling height in kitchen(taller) and when i add a invisible wall to show rooms the end of the wall has no drywall on it, when i change both rooms to same height this goes away. Is there not a way to show this correctly with different ceiling heights? David
  23. Thanks Richard, i dont know how you found this but i am happy you did. This forum never ceases to amaze me. David
