    A conceptual sketch for a small housing development...

    If all you want to do is get a seamless joint between the wall and soffit, you should be able to accomplish that in PBR or Clay mode. Just make sure the outer surfaces are aligned.

    I made this from a glass wall, split into 3 panels. For the center panel, I used a glass shower door placed into an invisible wall...

    I found this in my user library, I think I got it from 3D Warehouse... Crofton 9450-160.dae

    You can also specify a 'Slim Shaker' door (in the Bonus catalogs) and make the door panel glass.

    Check your roof planes around the dormer, make sure that they are not cutting into the wall.

    After installing the latest studio driver (580.97), Chief started crashing w/ PBR's. Going back to the previous driver (577.0) has solved the problem for now.Has anyone else been experiencing this?
  10. ericepv
    I had a project like awhile ago. I used solids for the walls (Chief won't do tilted walls). You might be able to use roof planes instead.

    For a different point of view, here's a cutaway view...

    Have you tried editing 'Saved Dimension Defaults'? Edit / Default Settings / Dimension / Dimensions / Edit / Chose your format / Edit / Primary Format

    Michelle: Terrain in Chief can be frustrating, I've run into the same problem myself. Probably the most important lesson I've learned while working with terrain is to keep it as simple as possible. Without seeing your plan, I'm guessing that you may need to eliminate some elevation lines and make sure that none of your elevation lines are crossing. It would be helpful if you post your plan.

    For the walls, use a fixed window with no sash and wide casings. For the ceiling, drop in some skylights. Here's a small room I drew up as an example:

    Sometimes you've just got to experiment a bit.

    Are you using the same shutter on the window as the stand alone? (Bonus Catalogs / Exterior Shutters / Louvered Double Shutter)
  21. ericepv
    Here's a PBR version. make sure your material properties are the same plus you may want to have the shutter stand proud of the wall by an inch.
  22. ericepv
    They look the same to me, are you using the same finish on each one?
  23. ericepv
    Are you trying to change the direction of the louvers?
