  1. Hi I know Eric said to adjust fascia heights which I have and thank you Eric, it has worked on the perimeters. BUT I just can't get it together. I will pay someone to fix the roof for me. Levina
  2. Guess I need to take a break and start in later...
  3. I guess the problem is I've been at it all day and couldn't seem to get it to pull together. I will take a break for an hour or so and start again

    roof

    I've attached a pdf of the roof plan showing multiple roofs , pitches etc, and SADDLE area.( have no idea what that is - assuming it is a flat roof) I've tried auto roof build but so many changes so I've been struggling for the past several hours creating roof planes ( over and over) and trying to get them together ( without much luck). It seems a very complicated roof system and frustrating. Maybe it's easier than it looks I'd attach what I've done but would be very embarrassing as I'm usually better than this with roofs This one seems to elude me. So I decide to reach out for some advice Levina
  5. yes Mick Im starting to realize that now .. I appreciate all you replies. this forum is so good for feed back and help
  6. thanks I will.. trial and error .. constant learning curve...
  7. I like that you're in Canada. I'm in Newfoundland so the cost would NOT be US dollars, training and/or discussion sounds good especially identifying areas where I improvement.
  8. I'm using Ray trace maybe better to use PBR RT?? My grass looks flat compared to your images. I guess I need to get back to the knowledge base and start again
  9. Thank you for your candid rely. Well received. Your rendering looks so much more realistic especially the windows , I have been playing around with windows glass trying to get the look you have.. I will take your advise and run with it.
  10. It seems like every render i see on CA Facebook community has used and external AI program to add realism. Is this the norm now? In addition to CA upgrades I have to purchase other software? CA has great interior rendering options but are lacking in exterior realism . I do a lot of exterior for clients , They send me their house plans . I create the 3D model adding various cladding options giving the client opportunities to see the finished house before buying the products , great way to decide which siding or stone looks and suites the house style. If CA cant provide exterior realism like their interiors. what software can I purchase without costing me and arm and a leg. Lumion is out of the question based on cost. Even Twinmotin is over 1000.00... I have heard of cloud rendering services that are pay as you go but the one I was hoping to use FOXRENDERFARM is not compatible with Chief Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated
  11. Is anyone familiar with this rendering cloud service- FOX Renderfarm I intend to try it out for a particular project I'm working on - see the results but they asked me this question Can you tell us the version of the software and plug-in you are using, we will help you check if the platform supports it now. The software I know but what is PLUG-IN? Thanks Levina
  12. thanks for all your input Levina
  13. Hi Attached is the back exterior view (m walk out Basement) however the garage to left has no basement , does this terrain and slope make any sense. I need to also install steps in sloped back too one I figure out how to do it But right now I'm wondering of this looks ok ( yes there are a few things to clean up on the back walls) Levina
  14. ok I only want window lites in the 8 top portion . it appears as two doors with windows when I use the door from the manufacturers. guessing it only registers to standard garge door heights. How to make my own door symbol .. I will check out the help videos Thank you I appreciate you replying to me Cheers Levina
  15. I've attached a front image of the workshop Here is the problem. There are two garages doors with different heights and widths . When I try to install a garage door with windows in the larger door I get two sets of windows. How do I get just the windows across the top with out showing up in the middle If I use right side windows from top to bottom they are fine The garage door is 144 " wide x 192" in height. This is in residential template but same thing occurs if I use a commercial template Any suggestions thanks
  16. Hi In the attached image you will see that i created two different roof pitches as per customers sample idea he sent. however it seems to have changed the wall heights as you can see by the interior shot as well as exterior. Wondering how I adjust this ..I followed the video to create the roof pitches but ,, it is probably a very simple ? Thanking you in advance Levina
  17. Hi I am building a deck and only the rails are showing - when i first built it - it was perfect. I had to make some adjustments to some areas then when i build the deck again ( straight deck railing) there was no decking only the rails no support posts etc. I tried as much as I could but nothing changes. can someone tell me what im doing wrong levina
  18. ok I will check out the CA help videos thanks

    roof

    Hi How do I produce roof braces such as seen in this elevation?
  20. Without sounding like a total DON'T KNOW ANYHTING rather than say ( id--- ) this may seem like a very silly question but designing estimated 1000 sq ft home do i charge a separate fee for the detailed construction drawings. I have an idea on time for the floor plans but I have no idea how long it takes to produce detailed construction drawings thanks in advance Levina
