  1. When I passes and or time for some reason the program does not show me how much time or passes have elapsed. I can let it ray trace overnight - so I am assuming the longer it ray traces the "sparkles" disappear . I though it might have something to do with the "index of refraction" which I have no idea what it means and can't seem to get explanation from the knowledge base except for a small mention. it is set at 1.5 but that's as much as I know about it I will let it run but that takes up a lot of time when i have several projects going at the same time Thanks for your reply Levina
  2. When ray tracing - these sparkles appear in the glass. Is it something in my ray trace options that I am either doing or not doing? Cheers Levina
  3. Thank you . Followed your instructions to the T and it's working perfectly
  4. In the renovation redesign I am doing - the clients wants the floor joists from the second level to be seen from the main level. In framing mode I can see the floor joists but in standard mode I cant....
  5. I am sending the proposed floor plans to the engineer and see what he comes back with. All your replies have given me solutions that could be implemented based on engineers response and of course the clients input as he want the real wood .. but things change due to structural challenges See how it goes Thank you all for your replies.. This forum is really resourceful and so many qualified members Thanks again
  6. swapping bedroom for bathroom is an option but not one the client will be very happy about for sure, Its all about the ocean view
  7. I will check with engineer and they are part of exposed beams on main floor for open concept
  8. Hi I an redesigning a house that has basement , main floor and upper level. Rough measurements 29 W x 24 D Attached is the engineering structural beams required for the open concept main floor plan . The beams in the basement are 10" high 10" deep (basement will not be developed). Beams for second floor are 8" high x 8" deep My issue is the stairs. where/how do I place them without interfering with the support beams. The floor plan was roughly designed before we had the engineering drawing. Now I have to reconfigure for the stairs. that's my problem. (The upper level is smaller than the lower level as result of a new add on) Any suggestions are welcome.. Thanks Levina 3 FLOOR LEVELS.pdf
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH ! I AM EXPERIMENTING WITH IT NOW
  13. 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
  14. 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
