HI

I've done several exterior renderings for a building company.  They  have opened new offices and need me to resend the original renderings so they can mount each rendered building into 30" x 16" frame.  Can you tell me the best exporting format so the renderings do not loose any sharpness when enlarged

Many thanks

Levina

Thanks!  it worked

Hi  I am attaching a vector view of a house I'm working on for new exterior,  How can I get recessed lights in the bump overhang because its the underside of the first floor bump out and cant install lights in the floor 

Cheers

Levina

got it

thanks for your replies.. will do as both suggested

Hi

My clients wants me to  create a new exterior look for her home with my rendering software.  I have the floor plan but no elevations, I can't figure out how to get the garage at the correct height in relation to the google house  image attached

Any advise

Thanks

Oh my !!..,, got it so sorry was trying to import a PDF when  it as a JPG

I have imported many PDF floor plans. but was wondering if I can import also a 2nd floor PDF on the 2nd level the same as importing PDF floor pan on the first level. 

I've tried but doesn't recognize import  PDF for 2nd level

Is this possible ?

Happy Thanksgiving  from Canada

Yeah cool ! Can always ask them for the extra information that you need to complete an external render with landscaping and proper ground levels. Plenty of videos on terrain landscaping available.

thanks have a wonderful Wednesday!

thanks for your replies.. I knew things were off but wasn't sure if it was me or the house designer.  Builders hire me to render their plans for on line real estate listings. MLS services etc.

I pay attention to details so the house and property reflect the plans.  What I sent was all I received from the buildr

Thanks again I shall forge on

Wanted to know that client loved the design plan,  thanks. sometimes 2 heads are better than one. Have a fabulous day!!

Hi

I've attached my plan as well as the PDF plans sent to me.  I cant seem to figure out if I have the split entry correct . there is a gap between the garage and the foundation and  not sure if i have the garage height etc done properly to show correctly in the 3D rendering

Wondering if i have made some error from the pdf to plan ???

Thanking you in advance

Cheers

When building a 24 x 24 garage with a 24 x 16 upper in law suite.  (client likes this design idea. ) - building the roof  I IGNORE  2ND FLOOR   but the roof shows inside the upper room,  How do I create false eaves to get this look

this looks good . the only difference in what I'm doing is the 24 x  16  is not in  the center  but on the far left side to accommodate full wall windows. with small windows front and back. extra 8ft space to the right will be attic space.  I don't have SU and have never used it,
