  1. Hi I am designing the interior of a 30 x 24 ft 2 level house ( 8ft ceilings ) open concept on main floor ( with separate laundry and powder rooms.) I want to maximize the main floor living space that will have the dining area, kitchen with island plus entertaining area, tv etc. am wondering how to increase the rise angle of the stairs to the upper level. Thanks in advance Levina
  2. Hi I'm attaching a drawing of the rear of the house I'm rendering but I'm not sure how to slop the terrain. Any imput will be helpful .. I've done walk out basements before but not sure how to approach this Thanks Levina
  3. Hi I am not able to see the time schedule moving on my ray trace.. the task bar shows for adjusting materials etc. and building, but not for ray trace I've tried resetting to defaults but still nothing appears. (ie) can't see from 0 - 30 passes or 45 min into an hour, etc is this something that can be fixed?? I know it's maybe not necessary but I like checking the timing to see how long it takes to get the ray trace results I'm looking for on each area of the project. Thanks in advance
  4. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH ! I AM EXPERIMENTING WITH IT NOW
  5. HI I have been trying to determine exactly what INDEX OF REFRACTION means in exterior ray trace view. I see various options for glass but not sure if this is something I need to adjust or go with what the system has default. If the glass is adjusted does it make any difference to the window reflection Thanks Levina
  6. I don't know what happened or why , but I was changing my terrain perimeter and suddenly this blue circle appeared and my program froze - can't close it or save it - If I Leave it long enough will it work it way around and let me work on my project. I'm afraid to shut down my computer in case I loose what I have, I checked out the error encounters on CHief but none if it works if I cant access the edits or saves or anything else Has anyone encountered this issue? Thanks in advance Levina

  16. geese I'm really messed up ,, I've since reset all to default and this is how my roof looks now,,I think can do it. I cant seem to be able to upload my plan - sends me error messages
  17. Hi Usually I don't have too many issues with roofs , I am trying to create a rendering for this plan. but the roof plan is very confusing to me. I tried to auto build roof ( you can see how that turned out by image below ) then change from gable to hip and vice versa depending on the plan but it doesn't seem to work. Then I tried manual roof planes but that didn't work. I'm trying to figure out the roof plan the architect did so I can recreate it in 3D it. Am I making too much of this? I'm two days now trying to get planes to join, If someone could just explain the architects overhead roof plan then I can try and copy it. I've watched the videos I have no issue with the front and rear gables it's the side gables that I cant seem to get right elevations show the roof structure I'm following Any suggestions are welcome, In the meantime I will continue on with manual roof planes Thanks Levina architect front and rear elevations.pdf architect roof view.pdf architect side elevations.pdf
  18. How can I send my plans to an architect/engineer
  19. thank you all for your responses .. greatly appreciated Levina
  20. Hi I am working on a residential renovation project The current house is a standard one level 40 x 24 with have a full 8' finished basement (not walk out) with L stairs to main floor . Exterior walls are Siding 4 and will follow upwards with the same The client has requested the following revisions redesign main floor layout change main floor from 8' to 9' ceilings add second level with 8' ceilings 12/12 gable roof pitch with storage room and dormers I have done the revisions but how do I note the added one foot to the main floor on my drawings for an engineer to sign of on to get the city building permit Thanks in advance Levina
  21. Yes, it is on an outside wall so I will keep that in mind. Thank you!
  22. thanks, I'm hoping this will give me the much-needed space for the upper level. maybe will have to remodel the basement stairs to an L-shaped to accommodate certain built ins but for now I'm good with the placement of the straight stairs to the send level and the exterior style of the Cape Cod look still shows Again Thanks
