I cant believe i got it to work once and now it wont subtract? I have a polyline solid circle and a cad circle inside of it, i select polyline solid and then subtract tool and then try and select cad circle, nothing?

Actually david this is the entire unit that is available, sink and cabinet included, thus integrated sink.

I guess i just need to find a sink that is square so it looks like it is integrated that is the challenge.

HI all you smart people, anyone have a symbol or can suggest how best to build a sink cabinet like this?

Thanks guys for your help, here is final product... still trying to figure out how to make rope light go vertical to put on either side.

Ok that worked, thanks apparently i don't know some basics!

Ok, that is really dumb, so in pbr it works but in wc you need to up lumens?

I tried doing a subtraction but I could not get it to do anything? Can you suggest steps?

Here is the plan, the round polyline solid below mirror i am trying to make the circle inside a mirror so the led looks like a donut and then re insert it back into mirror above. LED cube mirror.zip

HI Rob thanks for video, your polyline solid has no thickness, mine is .25" thick and when i do all those steps it does not allow me to make it a hole?

When converting in x11 it used to ask if you want a a polling solid then you could make it a hole now it doesn’t give you an option it gives you hole option I will post plan tomorrow

That’s what I did, I made a circle 1” dia, turned it into a poly line solid 1/4” thick and then tried cutting a hole out of it.. would not let me do it.

All the lights show when on pbr and not with wc, I upped lights to 200 i have never got ripe light to work using wc

I made this LED mirror symbol with led lighting behind, it will only show in pbr not in wc , why is this? Also i tried making a hole inside a circle sold and ca wont let this happen, Ie i made a circle turned it into a solid at 1/4" thick and then had a smaller circle i wanted to make a hole in the first solid and ca wont let this happen? I am trying to make a donut led light instead of just a circle led light.

Good idea on the reference for furniture... i have noticed a substantial slow down recently..i thought maybe i need to reboot and shut down more often..but furniture can really make drawing file large.

I am looking for help converting this .stp file to a symbol, anyone know how to do this? I looked for a similar symbol on 3d warehouse and i couldnt find one, so if someone has a similar fireplace to share that would be great. I have a client that wants to use this fireplace from https://www.osburn-mfg.com/en/products/wood-fireplaces/stratford-ii-wood-fireplace/#fiche-technique ob04007-façade-traditionnelle.stp

Thanks Michael, that this has been broken this long and two /three versions have come is very disappointing. i went to the other post and I will use your custom room label.. but still... really .. it’s hard to believe. i spoke to chief the other day about it and I thought I just needed to turn some settings to fix it. i don’t ever remember this happening when I rotated the layout box before.. because I had to go into the plan and rotate the label for it to read properly.. I note don’t know if I am coming or going..

HI all, doesn't seem to matter what i do but if i rotate layout box the room labels rotate and the 3 lines of text are on top of each other. its driving me nuts.... this is on x12 btw

Mark here is a 360 i did with very little time spent staging and such...i know floors are too shinny..i did it for a realtor that is listing and selling a reno...renovator usually doesn't get plans done so the realtor wanted to show him what it could look like so they don't have to discount job at end because of design decisions renovator makes without any design input. I find clients like to share their designs with friends and family for input..360 works well for this. https://accounts.chiefarchitect.com/360/view?share=150042410378297

Rene, really good comments, I think clients like dealing with more local designers... but I agree overseas rendering companies are aggressive. But I think most clients are reluctant to contact these firms.. but money talks.. i know you said revit has advantage over ca on some things.. to me the speed and quality I can get out of a pbr 360 is good value for time spent .. anyways always like to hear your comments as you certainly have your stick on the ice.

I was thinking of how everyone conveys their design to a client... back in the day all we had was line drawing plan and elevations to show a client a design. so I was hoping to get a sense of what others do and if you have time why you do what you do. i remember doing perspective drawings with vanishing lines on a drafting table with pencil on vellum.. boy have we come far. so my question is really focused on design presentation.. these days it not ok just to draw a line for cabinets in a kitchen but show the cabinet style, splash, lighting, cabinet configuration, hood style, fixtures, etc same thing holds true for the exterior, missing, material changes, window configuration etc. we all are selling a design to a client anyways I hope to see a good response to see what others are doing so we all can learn from one another..

i just set the mullion depth to 1 inch in options and it removes this line

What type of styles do you use to present your designs to clients?

Rene.. I wonder how many Ca folks use the 360’s.. I’ve never seen any client speak about a revit model.. maybe it’s not as easy.. I did a render for a builder for real estate listing and the plans were done using revit I think.. why wouldn’t the original design firm be able to do what I did?

I use 360’s all the time.. seems like all the schools are teaching revit.. does revit have a 360? it would be an advantage for us against other designers using revit...
