HI

I downloaded the X12 free trial to check out whether i want to upgrade form X11.  Here's my issue.  When open previous plans to edit it comes in under the X12 - which I don't want .. How do I open my current and past plans in X11

Thanks

Levina  

oh I didn't know I could do that

Thank you

i attached a plan that has what you want but i'm not sure you can open it since it was done in X12. there were a few things that i did: realigned the upstairs wall on the right with the downstairs wall, eliminated the wall on the backside (inside of the bay window), eliminated the bay window wall to the right and then redrew the far right wall at an angle which allowed the corner to build correctly, moved the porch roof up to second floor and worked it around the bay window (it was cutting into that space), turned off the auto roof return on second floor and redrew it manually, manually drew in roof returns on front of dormer, manually drew in attic walls above bay window, pulled up bay window walls a couple inches to close gap with attic walls above bay window. Maybe this will help.

Thanks again.  this forum is a great way to seek assistance..

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

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

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

Any suggestions?

Thanks

thanks.. It worked!!!!!
