    Make it from a polyline solid.

    Experimenting is often the best way to learn.

    Lee: You're off to a good start, here are a few adjustments you can make: Experiment with different sun angles Decrease the sunlight to about 15,000 Lux (if you are doing a PBR, increase the brightness) In ray-trace edit, set Ambient Occlusion to .50 min - 2.5 max (as a starting point) I also like to keep the ambient lighting to a minimum (it can make a scene look flat) Specify your background image (Enable Env. Light) Turn on Caustics (Advanced tab) Also, for the camera: Increase height to 96" Get rid of the camera tilt, it should be level Narrow the field of view to around 40 degrees The rest is adjusting your materials and properties (very important!). Hope this helps- Eric

    That's usually what it takes.

    You may also want to try experimenting with different settings for refraction (in the properties panel when set to 'Transparent').

    In the 'Define Material' box, set the glass to transparent/crown glass (in the properties tab), then darken the glass a bit in the material color section of the pattern tab (try various shades of grey). Also, be sure there are no interior lights turned on and set the interior ambient to zero.

    Bow Window

    ericepv replied to keithhe's topic in General Q & A

    Try this: Draw in a separate curved exterior wall Split the straight wall behind the bow and make it invisible Open the DBX for the new bow that you've created and set the floor and room height as desired Place your windows Bay Window.zip

    You can also type a material or symbol name in the search bar in the Library Browser.

    Here's the path in X14, I assume X9 is similar: Core Catalogs/Materials/Siding & Paneling/Shingles/Scallops (make sure your libraries are up to date). You can also find them in the James Hardie catalog.

    Be sure you specify 'Panels' for your railing and then select cable railings from the library.
