Maybe overkill based on the previous prompts: MASTER PROMPT — ARCHITECTURAL phot real PRESENTATION STYLE Transform this architectural rendering into a more photo real image for an architectural design development presentation. Maintain accurate architectural proportions and perspective while converting the image into a high-end conceptual presentation rendering often seen in architecture studios, design competitions, and sketchbook presentations. Add a small amount of drought tolerant landscaping like sage ground cover to the foreground that you would see on the Monterey Peninsula of California. Preserve intentional empty paper space around the rendering. ARCHITECTURAL PRESENTATION STYLE Maintain realistic architectural lighting and material hierarchy while simplifying unnecessary detail. Emphasize massing, shadow, glazing, roof forms, timber accents, landscape composition, and depth. The rendering should feel like a premium conceptual presentation piece created by an architectural photographer. LANDSCAPE STYLE Loose and painterly landscaping with watercolor foliage masses, abstract shrubs, soft grass texture, and atmospheric tree forms. Add foreground drought tolerant landscaping that would be seen in Carmel by the Sea California with some low creeping sage groundcover Avoid hyper-detailed botanical rendering. Trees and plants should partially dissolve into the paper edges. LIGHTING Warm natural daylight or soft golden-hour lighting with subtle shadow contrast. Preserve believable architectural depth while keeping the overall composition airy and artistic. TEXTURE + DETAIL Slightly enhance the materials shown in the image and preserve colors. COMPOSITION Centered architectural hero shot presentation-board aesthetic, elegant white space, professional architectural illustration balance, no heavy vignette, no graphic design overlays, no typography unless added separately. AVOID cartoon rendering, anime style, heavy outlines, cel shading, overly saturated colors, digital painting look, oil painting texture, comic-book style, sharp CGI edges, excessive realism, cluttered backgrounds, ultra-detailed foliage, fantasy styling.

Check these settings and see if it is able to be changed

One thing to keep in mind when designing is this zone shown highlighted in yellow. That is an 18" clear space so that if you are approaching the door in a chair, you have the ability to move close enough to the door and grab a handle. This is an ADA code item that makes a whole lot of sense. The bath shown is from a project where we were trying to achieve absolute minimums so not a great reference for you.

I wonder if it is the 4000 series? NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU (8 GB) Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics (128 MB)

Thanks, I took off dark mode and the toolbar is better but the arrow drop down remains in Mysterio Mode.

If you look at the plan view I have 2 polylines in light yellow highlighting 2 elevation cameras. The plan was hanging up on the bad camera. I made a new camera and now it works. It is likely this is a legacy plan camera issue. Using a new layout from a template or an older layout that I started the project in has no impact on the hanging up issue. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4xhbx1senqzuptg3a405i/Lugo-DD-V1e.plan?rlkey=dv4k0jj8g8e0godwsv0clceuj&dl=0

I am dying here. I have spent the last 2 hours trying to come up with a solution to send a friggin elevation to layout. This is the crap we went through in version x1 and 2 with new versions. Why is this happening now?

Same with my toolbars

Is anyone having issues with the latest update when sending elevations to layout? I might need to paste everything into new template files? This could be legacy plan issues as I am pretty sure this plan started in an earlier version than x18 beta. it was working in the beta version and then before the update yesterday.

Which color item needs to be changed to fix this?

Correct me if I am wrong but the mulling of two windows would have the small casing piece covering the joint where the two windows meet at the frame. If you don't want the trim, those are not mulled windows.

Nice usage. I had a project that required a sun study a few years ago. I think that would have been a lot quicker with AI image generation.

Posting the plan file would be helpful. 2 things come to mind that could be causing this 1. check your distance from the origin. Select an object and look on the lower portion of the screen to see where it is located in space. If your model was built a long way from the origin you can get texture issues. 2. Check the thickness of the roof surface finish material. Make it bigger (3/4") and see if that solves it

Before and after that stellar prompt

It looks like a lot of my issues are coming from my inability to open a template plan from the main menu. I pasted this plan into the template plan and I am getting it all to work well. I am concerned that this might be persistent issues if I carry a plan forward from an earlier version.

I am not sure how I would have broken this tool/operation. I am trying to set a wall material region on the exterior of a wall. The whole reason for this is to try to get a pony wall look and have the upper pony wall sit inside a ledge of stone but when I tried to make the alignment I had a lot of other issues as I turned the corner. I painted a wall material region and it just makes a void on the wall. First I had to check the material region defaults and I installed a layer of stone for the default. There is no there, there. I can not select it to delete it. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ox1b2rhc8r1ftstbb8xmy/FRD-PSV-DD-V.plan?rlkey=u7jkzdh86bnbonl5k4b7ofj25&dl=0

RRRRRRR

Not that kind of point loading. When I draw a curved line and then click on the line just after finishing the command I am getting a temp point. Why?

I am seeing the same thing.

Thanks. That works great. But, why? Take an easy tool and make it harder. I suppose the value is in wanting a living area label for one of multiple buildings in the same plan.

Is this a known bug? I have tried opening a new plan and also saving a closing my current project. I can not get the Living Area Label to go away as in previous versions.

Is it an air gap or a siding gap?

I am not sure if this rises to the top of a gripe list but... I selected a room (closet in this case) and went direct to the label tab and turned it off in all views, then jumped to the room tab and changed the room type to "Closet" from "Living" and the label suppression was then switched off. Not the behavior I was expecting. Has this been happening similarly in previous versions?

The soffit attaches to the sub fascia. If you have a 3/4" material for your soffit and you want a 1/4" drip on your fascia then make the sub fascia 1" less than your fascia and it will build with that look.

@j2narchitecture help me understand the value of the 3d model actually containing the 2x4 stud layer rather than just drawing the 2x6 wall and calling out the wall type as a 2d detail? I am not trying to criticize but want to know how you are getting value from this in your workflow.
