thanks greatly appreciated!

thanks that sounds good, I have never worked with symbols but this is all a learning curve.. so when you did it. did you change by the hour or a flat fee. trying to figure out how I can give client an estimate. If you can provide any options its greatly appreciated Cheers

What he wanted to see was a composite image showing three 5-plex buildings, three single-family houses, and two additional 4-plex buildings placed onto a drone image of the site he provided. I attempted to do this using Photoshop and ChatGPT, but integrating designed building units into a real drone image proved challenging. I wasn’t able to get the rendered units to scale properly within the scene, and the overall result didn’t look convincing. He then sent the finalized site plan you see - prepared by the engineering firm and asked that the cul-de-sac also be included. This led me to consider whether it would make more sense to build the entire site in Chief Architect, with all units modeled and shown in 3D renderings. I’m now trying to determine the cost of doing this, and if it’s feasible, I would request the DWG files to proceed. Hope this long winded response answers your question lol Levina I'm in Canada too!!

Thanks everyone for your help. I have one last question—if anyone has worked on a subdivision or a multi-home project, do you have a general ballpark figure I could provide to a client for reproducing this?

SO what's the story on "PEOPLE " silhouettes. looks like there have been a few additives - one of a couple actually looks like it could be something real but it is a line drawing.. what purpose do these serve as they are not viewed in 3D I know I can get some people from this site .https://renderpeople.com/free-3d-people/ but what format do I use to download for ca. I would have thought that CA would have usable people other than silhouettes in their catalogues

thank you all for your help much appreciated

Ha ha..i was tryng to keep location private...such is life!..

...how did you find that street

thank you

Sounds great I'm going to print this and keep in clients file.. Cheers Levina

please excuse my limited knowledge - are there videos on scale and trace?.. also do you mean site plan dimensions?

I am attaching the PDF site plan,, Is this something I can import into chief and create ( only the darkened grey buildings ( I have the plans ) Cheers Levina new site plan1.pdf

Yes thanks for the options! i will take your advise and call the truss company

span is 40ft cantilevering about 3 ft ( could be longer ) . as for the king post I don't know.. here's the house idea he 's going for

no .. not a curved roof just a slight gable uplift towards the front of the perch
