  1. Yes I've used transform replicate tool many times especially for roof planes . Just didn't know the abbreviation but not the Z moving.. That's why I love this forum.. I learn so much from more experienced users Thanks a heap
  2. ,, don't mean to sound like a %&%&% but define TNR and Z direction????
  3. I have the roof completed now thanks. had already imported the floor plan and built to scale - was having difficulty with the roof - usually when a client sends me the house plans it includes the roof planes and overhead view Thanks for getting back to me Cheers ( from another canuk

    Roof

    Hi I'm rendering a house plan for a client with sloped roofs. very low pitches 1.5 and 3.5 Attached is the PDF showing the roof schematic as well as the roof elevations, (looks like center area may be a gable as opposed to sloped .) 3D Roof.pdf I am assuming I would generate this style of roof as in the help videos by starting with a gable and go from there. However I'm not sure of the actual height as there are no pole elevations. Can someone tell me how I can determine the height so it looks correct in the rendering . I have the house built sans the roof - just looking for some direction before I start Cheers Levina
  5. ok thanks I see the batten in the polyline distribution path - does this look correct?
  6. I'm following your video and got it as far as EXPLODE .polyline distribution path. cant find explode in edit in 16
  7. I figured as much - didn't think it was rendered in CA. is Lumion or twin motion worth the investment?
  8. WOW!! DID YOU USE ONLY CA FOR RENDERING
  9. Thanks! so grateful for your quick response Cheers
  10. Hi I've designed a bathroom and walk in closet in imperial plan . Client wants imperial and metric - I tried editing the plan and move to the metric - knew it would not work.. Any suggestions.. I've never worked in metric
  11. I did try it looks amazing! thanks
  12. Hi Most of my renderings are exterior . horizontal siding has different profiles that show well in PBR.. however Board and batten does not have any depth so is unrealistic . I was watching a You Tube video that Rene Rabbitt put up but don't know what materials he used or how the saved it So what is the best method to having a more realistic look for Board and Batten.. polylines? .. have to do a lot of cutting for windows and doors - takes time that I cant bill for Any suggestions are welcome

  16. Hi I've been asked to create a new exterior facade for this A Frame stye building ( pics attached ) A frame section roof peak measures 34' high - length 42' - A frame width is 30' I have a few questions before I start - see if I'm on the right track -- 1. am I correct in creating an 8' standard building 2. add an annex 3. build the annex roof as a 12:12 with ridge height of 34' 4. roof overhand 36' 5. add slanted beams to the roof ends on the sides ( not sure how to do that but I'm sure there's a way) Just some direction is appreciated Many thanks Levina
