3Ds would be good, also make sure you export all your textures too.

Where is the attached file? I can render for you in Thea so you can see the quality.

I spent about eight hrs on Sunday doing everything mentioned on the above posts and no luck. Today I spent two hrs on the phone with Lenovo and this was their answer after not being able to get the Nvidia card to work.

Thanks BT, I tried this already as Chopsaw suggested in the first reply, there is no option to change it to the Nvidia card Where the select preferred graphics processor for this program, i cannot change, only use global settings. And when i change the global settings it wont change. Very strange indeed. I have sent to tech support maybe they can help. Thanks anyhow

Thanks guys appreciate your help, I did a re boot though still on the old card.

Thanks Chopsaw, I did as you advised though CA is still defaulting to other card.

I have two video cards on my laptop and CA is defaulting to the old one. i need to direct it to the correct video card. Cannot find it anywhere where to change it. The card CA is using is too old and the model is B&W. Ca is defaulting to The Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 and i need to point it to the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M.

Available on my website Thea ready materials all PBR and over 2K base map. All materials are tileable and ready to use in Thea. If your not using Thea that's ok, advise which maps you need for your render engine and I can supply the maps, up to 4K. Texture maps have been reduced in order to post here.

Hi Kathleen, Been a long time hope you are well. I have made a few materials Thea ready, check them out on my website. There are many free ones. All been made with Substance designer and with 2K maps. Nice Renders as always.

Excellent Idea I use Kolor Pano tour

I was talking about all the walls have a small step everywhere, where the foundation walls meet with the walls above

Hi Dianne, Does the external walls suppose to have that small step in the brickwork?

Hi Guys, I know many times we have covered this topic, but i need some suggestions on which programs there are out there, to do good takeoffs from a PDF. I'm looking at Build-soft at the moment and you get a great Bill of materials by building assemblies, I'm struggling at the moment trying to work out how to set it up. lol At the moment I'm using CA to get my quantities though its too limited to get the figures of the costing. Whereas Build soft after making the assemblies i can simple drop in components and get an exact costing and quantities out of it. Simply, you draw a line around the footprint of the building and with that one line around the perimeter calculate, my footings,reo area of slab and wall quantities. I believe once i set it up it shouldn't take more than about an hour max to obtain a full estimate with all the figures. I'm struggling to get two to three quotes a day with using CA and a spread sheet. I think if CA eventually perfect their material list it would be far more superior.

Hi Scott, I couldnt do this if i tried, cannot understand whats going on.

Job 001 Wattlegrove Revison 5.planPlan attached. Never seen this before.

Dont know what setting i need to change to fix this problem. Joists seem to be housed over the side of the raffters

Anyone have any experience with working on CA on the cloud. Can i get a licence to work with in the cloud.

Yeah Joe Sounds Good, The average ceiling height here is 2.7. Thanks. Joe i sent you Pm yesterday maybe you didn't see it, Any chance of sharing the hole in wall? This could be very useful for me

Nice one Joe, I cannot get your video to play smoothly, maybe bad conductivity at the moment. I like what you did a lot. Any discount if i get all three, or maybe you have more? I use the material list quite a bit i think your macros would be a great help.

Scott, believe i didn't even know about this tool. Saved me a lot of work Thanks again

Good Idea, Thanks Scott

Thanks Scott, In framing defaults in the wall tab, at the bottom is states Build Wall Framing Details from exterior. Excellent. Scott, One more thing if you can help, See the bathroom wall where the door is, i broke the wall into three sections, because of my wall linings. Wall Detail 29 is Sheetrock both sides, Wall Detail 19 Is Sheetrock with villa board and tiles the other side and Wall Detail 20 is villa board one side and the other villa and tiles. Is there a way to send to layout in one piece, i.e. the three walls as one. Because im sure my carpenter will get confused. Also i cannot find the layer to turn on to show where i broke the wall, i think i might have to draw in manually, Or is there a way because i don't see it in the layers.

After sending elevations on the layout everything fine except when i send the wall details, ie the framing, i see that the framing wall is flipped around the other way. (see attached Pic) Any idea how to fix? I cannot work the way to get the correct view for the framing.
