  1. Hi I was wondering if it is possible to turn this bay window area into a pony wall, ,wall type does not show this option but thought maybe someone has come across this and found a solution . or do I have to create bay windows manually ? I've tried applying wall material region but it does not seem to take

  3. I purchased this new computer a few weeks ago, ALIENWARE M15 RYZEN ED. R5 When I create my designs and send them to my clients - they are not seeing what I see. The color calibration is not a cool white but a warm white I have reached out to DELL several times to check on my color calibration but nothing happens, I may have to return .. see what they can do. The basic colors on CA11 are crisp and clear on my old toshiba but duller on my Alienware in CA I am aware that computers can differ in calibrations but this is so far from reality it is scary and my clients are not happy Wondering if it is CA software when I transferred or computer Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks Levina

  6. Hi I have a new ALIENWARE M15 RYZEN ED. R5 laptop. I have installed my ca 11 on my new laptop. I still can't get any textures, I have updated my core library and bonus +manufactures libraries. I have no idea why I still have no textures, works on my old lap top fine but does not show in standard rendering on this new laptop, The image shows the standard rendering and the material I was trying to I was trying to add to the island. It was suggested I back up the plan - but nothing changed Any ideas thanks
  7. Ok i will do that..thanks I received this message..not sure how I should move forward
  8. Good Morning I have a new Alienware laptop M15 RYZEN R5. Here is my issue. Seems the renderings are different on both laptops but not sure if its because of the CA software or my new Alienware laptop. I see a big difference in the standard renderings as you can see by the SAMPLE IMAGES BELOW. There are no materials showing on surfaces on the alienware. Can anyone direct me as to the problem . I have been going back and forth with my license trying the CA X 11 on both, I have clients that want to make changes to their designs and I have had to go back to my old TOSHIBA laptop in order to show the changes to blend in with their current design. Is this an issue with my computer or color calibration or materials with the software?? I have been in touch with DELL techs several times to check color calibration on my new laptop . the only issue with the color /materials is on my Alienware CA Any sites regular google I look at seem to be ok . Any suggestions are greatly appreciated Levina
  9. So I had to transfer my COA program to my new computer.. but the colors are totally off is this CA or Alienware. My blues are grey and my reds terrible / Maybe I have to adjust the colors on my computer .. My old Toshiba had crisp clear colors
  10. so is ray trace better with each upgrade
  11. Thank you ...ok so should this is a good purchase. That's great. I would upgrade but my SSA has not been current since September 2020 so will be costly to invest in at the moment after just purchasing a computer .Business has not been great since COVID and is taking time to get back to normal But at least I know I'm ok with the computer. I can design a house - have no idea about computer specs. But I did take my time is getting this laptop with a lot of help from my friends so thank you for reinforcing my purchase decision Greatly appreciated

  17. Hi I am purchasing a new desktop for my CA as opposed to the laptop I've been using for 6 years, The laptop doesn't seem to be give me the same quality of work or storage as it used to. So here is what I am purchasing ( with the ability to add on if necessary ) Is this DEL Desktop sufficient to give me better rendering quality and storage I need top operate CA / I currently have 11 but will be upgrading to 12
  18. thank you I will look into all and see hat works best for me. At one point I was taking my laptop with me and showing them the walk thru and camera angles. \\\\\\\\but I am considering a desktop instead so the 3d view would be an asset for sure but then again so will all the options available on Chief I an currently running X11
