Terrain in Chief can be tricky, perhaps this article from the Knowledge Base will help: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00376/creating-a-walk-out-basement.html

Here's what Chief recommends for X13: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02761/chief-architect-minimum-system-requirements.html#X13

That's a good solution for the site overview but for the close up view that the client has requested, I still need a decent symbol.

That's not the case here. I'm preparing a series of renderings for an upscale development which is designed for the owners of large motorhomes, the client will be using them for marketing. The client has been great to work with, I'm the one who's not happy with the symbol as the finished product will have my name on it. I can easily pay for a nicer symbol from one of the many online sources but before I do, I thought I'd see if anyone had one to share, that's all.

Shed Door.zip Here's one I made from a glass panel door by replacing the glass with vertical siding.

A preliminary rendering for a project I'm currently working on ...

I did download that one but it looks pretty poor in the render.

Yes, I do have that catalog. The motor-home symbol looks OK but I was hoping for something nicer.

That's not the point.

Does anyone have a symbol they'd be willing to share for a large 'Class A' motor-home (like what the rock stars take on tour)? The ones I've found so far range from cheesy (free ones) to very pricey (nice ones).

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

This is due to the tile image you are using, it is not lit consistently across the surface. To prevent 'tiling', be sure to use a seamless image. If you are taking an image from online, specify a seamless texture to get the best image. There are tools available which can help to reduce the tiling effect, this is one I've used https://www.imgonline.com.ua/eng/make-seamless-texture.php . You can also try getting your textures from a site such as Polygon. Substance Player is a great program which includes Tile Builder that will let you create your own image file quite easily, here's a ChiefTalk thread on the topic which includes link to download Substance Player:

A different way to render an exterior, this is a pen drawn style...

Align your walls with the wall below and uncheck 'Attic Wall' in your DBX for the wall ('General' tab) and also uncheck 'No Room Definition'. Which roof planes are you having trouble with? They all seem to be connecting.

My first thought is that you may have an attic wall that is interfering. Hard to tell without seeing your plan, can you post it?
