Line weight are on. You are correct... The line weight must be MUCH large in layout. I changed one from 1 to 10 with no visible difference but changing to 75 did it.

Can someone tell me when I draw a line, arched line, etc, in Layout mode how I can change the line weight / thickness? Also when I draw a line with an arrow or a leader line in plan or layout, I can re-size the arrow itself but the line weight wont change when I change from lets say a 1 to a 10. Thanks

Just tried some of these and now im getting 20-25 passes in 80 secs

Thanks Dennis and Kirk. Ill try both.

I just took the same plan and made a copy. The actual plan has 7 can lights 4 under cabinet lights and 11 pendants. In ray tracing this plan take just under 4 mins to complete pass #1. Where as, by taking the same plan and deleting all the pendants only (everything else remains the same) pass #1 completes at 1:25 mins. Is there a better way to get a decent raytrace with the fixtures we will be using or bottom line if you don't want a dark room and have lighting its going to take three to four times as long to render.

Is there a way to isolate the one scene in raytrace and it ignores all others versus having to delete or turn off?

you think 300,000 faces is high for a full kitchen with your typical applainces

Is there a listing that will show each fixture / symbol in a plan that you can view to see what item or items are slowing the raytrace down? I have plans of multiple area that will raytrace in half the time or more than a plan where its a single kitchen only. It must be a symbol or a texture that I have saved in my library over the years and using in a particular plan. This would allow me to change it with something else with less faces... thanks

I got it thanks

where is the "No Molding on Selected Edge" DBX

Is there a way to have a rooms molding change colors on a corner? There is a section of frown that wraps around a interior brick wall and the white crown does not look good and I want to change it to match the cabinets in the room.

Been playing around with this and found a correlation. Anytime a straight half wall is not connected to another wall it does not show the base. This the case when there is a bar / sink wall in the middle of a room. However, if I craw a wall to connect these "island" walls to a wall on the outside of the room the base appears. I did a work around and drew a connecting wall from an perimeter wall to the half walls and made it invisible and all looks fine. Alot to do just for baseboards

There must be a setting that is not correct. I opened a brand new blank plan and drew four exterior walls to make a closed room. Inside this room I drew one single straight half wall and unchecked both no room definition and no locate and I get the same thing. No baseboards on the wall

It works. I have no idea what wrong with this one. thanks

It must be something on my end. I unchecked no room definition and still no base or room divider. Deal with it later. thanks to all

Thank you for appreciating.

You always hear you learn from your mistake. If that's the case some of us sould be a freaking MIT genius

Im all for learning better faster ways of doing the same thing. We are so incredibly busy and I'm the only one drawing any time saved would be huge.

thanks. US Marines improvise when needed

Here's the plan Courtney Kitchen Remodel.zip

the half walls are set to default with no room definition and no locate checked. unchecking them does nothing

How do you get the plan small enough to post

One the same note of half wall actions... How do you go about putting baseboards on these half walls. Manual molding line?

I have a half wall im using for a kitchen bar wall and at the end of the wall you enter the family room. I need to divide these two areas for a flooring change. When I draw the room divider from a standard height wall over to the half wall i don't get the room separation. Does the room divider tool not work with half walls?

thanks guys
