OK, I've watched the videos and re-read the instructions but what I just don't get is where the values come from and where to apply them and why. Once I understand that part, the rest will make sense. Thanks to everyone for trying to explain this but I guess I'm just too thick to figure it out unless I can have it shown to me directly.

Gene: I have seen these videos on Chief's website. Perhaps one on one consult would be best as the video is quite vague. Eric

Still not sure how you did *** but that's exactly what I need. Many thanks to you! Eric

OK, I'm still not getting it (my brain must be on vacation). What I ultimately want to end up with is a pendant that is 10" in diameter and 30" above the countertop. Even when I resize the object first, it ends up being elongated when I follow the steps you outlined.
-
I entered the values exactly as shown but I still do not get the result you show. The stem lengthens as needed but the fixture is also elongated (as shown in my original image).

The plan is attached. JBS-Kitchen pendant.zip

How do I show that in the dialog box?
-
Joe: I just tried what you suggested, this is what I got: I also tried +9" and got this: Eric

I am trying to lower a pendant so that it is 30" above the counter. I know that this can be done by adjusting the stretch zone but after watching the video, reading the help section & going through various Chief Talk posts, I still cannot figure out how the values are calculated. Can anyone give me a simple explanation of how to do this?

I recently downloaded the most recent version of Blender and would like to try rendering some of my Chief files. Does anyone know of a good tutorial that reviews the procedure of setting up the camera, lighting and other settings for creating a great render?
-
In my experience, inadequate lighting is often to blame. Have you included additional light sources?

limitless8 - This video was very helpful to me when I was starting to learn ray-tracing. Please re-post your renderings after you have applied what you learn in the video, I'm sure we would all like to see the results. Eric

limitless8 - As someone who does a lot of Ray-Traces, I can tell you that one of the most important things in achieving a great image is lighting. Once you learn how to properly light a space and also understand the function of the various settings and how to manipulate them, you'll start getting very impressive results.This video from Chief's Knowledge Base https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1909/ray-tracing-tips-and-techniques.html?playlist=103 is well worth watching. It is a great tutorial as it covers the most important steps to creating a great ray-trace image. Eric

Yea, the bed really makes it, gives the room a very authentic look. Eric

I don't remember where I originally got the icon, it's been in my library for awhile. It might be from here http://archive3d.net/?category=2

Here's a RayTrace I recently completed in X8:

What's your favorite source for high quality icons and material finishes?
-
Is anyone familiar with a way to bring Revitt (.rvt) files into Chief?
-
Graham - OK, got it now. I was looking in my X8 library and the catalog downloads. Many thanks for the tip. Eric

Kitchen Adobe - Thanks for the file, that worked pretty nice! Where is this one hiding (still can't find 'Symbols & Content')?
-
Kitchen Adobe - Symbols & Content???? Please expand on this.

Thanks Perry, I downloaded the new metals library and that did the trick. Eric
-
I'd like to get some opinions on the best settings to use when ray-tracing brushed stainless steel. I have been experimenting with predefined metal, shiny metal, general material, etc. but the brushed stainless often comes out almost black. Any thoughts on the best settings?
-
Good idea, thanks Dennis.

I did try the event planning bonus library. There is an arch but I would have to add the flowers which turns into a problem since the large number of flowers required makes the file very large and unmanageable.
