Your file crashed CA for me. I attempted to change the stone material. I am pretty sure that is your resource hog on this file.

Not that you asked but do be mindful of copyright when using music that you don't own. If your video ends up on the internet you could find yourself in hot water if you have used the video to market yourself.

RayTrace with line drawing overlay. Be mindful that the OOB color for the line drawing is not actually black. I kept getting gray lines after the overlay until I realized that the black looking color was not black. The deep black allows you to adjust the opacity of the overlay layer a bit to finesse the image.

P.S. How do you get the images to show larger than the thumbnails?

Reduce your stem wall height to your proper location. ("I") in the diagram on the DBX.

This thread is an embarrassment to this forum. Take this discussion out of the Seeking Services area of the forum. I have no problem with the content, just the location.

You don't explode the bay. When selecting the bay click on the window. This will select the bay. Now hit the tab key and you will now have the window selected to modify it.

I think you challenge should have read something like this:

Something weird happened that makes no sense but I did something fairly random and something else happened. I challenge you to guess what it was.

Either

1. that window was placed with a pastes operation, or

2. room was not defined

3. wall no locate

Post your plan when asking a question like this and you will get an answer. Without a plan you get guesses.

Yusuf strikes gold again.

Yes, call tech support or sales support for some direction on that. Also, when you speak to them I suspect they will give you an extension on that trial by just saying "please".

Draw it from the side elevation. How is that legal marijuana thing going in Washington

Draw a poly solid or slab in elevation then set the depth.

I am not sure what you mean by "offset"?

Check an earlier plan in your archives and back up files.

Any shape you make can be turned into a symbol . When creating the symbol you set it as a door.

Amateur hour for me this week.

That is a very low resolution image. If you are going to do this I would recommend something at least 250 - 500 pixels. Almost everything you would be able to do in Photoshop you can do in Gimp for free.

Glitch with the last version. Try this one.

Chief has a great video on ray tracing which is focused a great deal on setting up your materials properly. I saw some major improvements in rendering after view that video.

If that is actually a version prior to v10 I don't believe there is any roof editing in 3d views.

Time is so precious.

To get the second floor view, go to the plan view on the second floor and hit the Orthographic Floor Overview button.

I did a quick search thinking that I was missing something and there was going to be a new and easy way to make divided lite cabinet doors. I probably spent 6 minutes searching for the info I could not find and about 5 minutes making the door in the attached file. I included the pre symbol block to examine so you can see how easy it could be to make this door a lot nicer than the simple block shapes that I used to get this one so I can get my as built drawing fairly close to what I needed.

For this project the kitchen is not going to be the focus so I just wanted something to match the general look of the actual cabinet. Had this been an actual key part of the project I would have put some proper profile edges on the solids used to construct the door.

The cabinet I needed this for is a 42" high upper so it is a tall door. It will resize smaller but the way it was set up the top and bottom rails will squash with the resize.

There have been a few threads showing sneak peeks recently.
