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..!!!!!

How can i determine the size of the knobs and pulls and change the sizes

yes a rotate handle would be easier at first glance for sure.. All replies are very informative and thank you

thank you for all your replies. great to know that that there is always help in this forum!!!

... thanks!

Hi .. thanks what's a (psolid)?

hanks for your reply.. your space man without the backdrop would not have the same visual effect for sure! I am currently working on a house exterior and plan on implementing it into the street view so client can see is house in comparison to his neighbors. So what your saying is in RAY TRACE the backdrop (if a quality image) will affect the quality of the overall rendering but not take up any additional time . unfortunately I can't use material definition on the backdrop if it is not of good quality again it is a matter of choice can you tell me if there is a specific way to get quality street views into CA for backgrounds Thanks Levina

Hi Can you tell me if backdrops make a difference in rendering quality and time.. is it better to have backdrop or not. when I import street view will it interfere with my ray trace or PB rendering Thank you

good Idea.. Ill give it a try Thanks

Hi Normally I don't have too many issues with roofs unless they are complicated. This one looks simple .. but I can't seem to get the straight across area for the roof indent. I can have teh roof with gable but not as it looks in the picture--- as you can see by the one with the X this is what I end up with and the other is how it should look.. Any suggestions.. I tried adding another floor and reducing the height but then the roof was too high You're imput is always welcome Thanks Levina

ok.. thanks David

Hi I've attached a PB rendering ,I cant understand why one cabinet shows pink!!?? I tried using a slab door to the room instead of glass,, eliminate the wall light .. still pink.. standard view is fine all other views are fine even ray trace but PB shows pink Any suggestions? Thanks
