Thank you all for your replies I am checking out the videos suggested and find them very helpful . The rendering information is great but my computer does not render what I'm seeing in the videos and as suggested by Chief I have to have many more passes than suggested plus I loose my blacks - turn out grey . My system works slowing and not great renderings so I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction . Wondering if I need a new computer or an external graphics card This is my laptop info Device name Levina-PC Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable) Device ID 0AF3687A-039A-4D63-8688-BC8C0A4AEA1B Product ID 00326-10000-00000-AA091 System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display Thanks so much This forum is a wonderful access for information from experienced users but though I can create and design clients wants - I am not technically savvy. The last thing I want to do is bring my laptop to the store and ask for assistance because I am not sure I would be given the correct info. Sorry to be so cynical but experience has been a wonderful albeit too late teacher. I was told I should have a 4 - 8 GB Any suggestions will will appreciated New computer or external devises

Hi I see some fabulous renderings on CA facebook.. Are these designs created with CA and then rendered outside CA site.?? My renderings are not bad but some of the ones I see look so realistic.. I'm wondering where they are rendered If these samples I see are done thru CA ' rendering feature then I definitely need more practice and instruction. If there are other sources can anyone tell me the best ones to look into.. Many Thanks CA x 11

ho i didn't and no I don't. I will do that now thanks

here is the plan.. 2nd sharpe house.plan

the attached shows how my returns came out

Hi Attached is an image showing my concept on the left and actual house on the right with 2nd floor bay window circled I have been at this for a over a day and a half. Here's my issue I tried the build "bay window" install but couldn't get the roof to look as it is in the picture. I then tried manually building the bay windows and still cant get the roof line like in the photo. I've read the manual and watched videos but the returns do not look at all like in the photo sometimes the boxed return just look lot a lot of fascia I even tried the roof dormer ( but of course it did not work no roof to install it in . ) I used the wall specification to ensure the wall is a gable wall.. When I actually do generate a reasonable facsimile ( not a good looking one) and go to change- update or delete a component then my full roof return disappears Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks so much. Its great information..!!!!!
