That's amazing Steve

Nice work Steve. Very impressive.

Thanks Mick.

Mick,

Not sure how much I want to invest too much in any upgrades as I may retire next year. (76 in May)

Looking at the RTX 3060 & the RTX 4060 to run on my current machine. (yes the signature is current)

Looking at reviews 4060 fared better.

Thanks for the Heads-Up

Yes mine says No on the Hardware Ray Trace.

So I have to find out if the newer Video card will run on my motherboard & CPU

This is a great technique.

I'll have to try more of it after taking my wife to lunch.

BTW my computer only takes about 12 seconds to update to the new background.

Mick.

This is PBR. But I'm so unskilled at setting it up.

Plus I sloped the front yard & the concrete is 3D solids that don't slope.

One fella I work for does the presentation house in SketchUp & then I create construction documents.

I can't match the views. (My short comings)

There go those mountains again. 

Thanks Steve, that look great to me.

That will work nicely here in Florida. So many backdrops have mountains.

When I open Chief for the first time I see a window that says "Cashing Files" & I see many ZIP files from previous jobs flashing in the window.

What is going on there?

Its the wall type, needs main layer as shown here.

Thanks Ryan.

How would you make this pattern show up in vector & standard view.

This is a sketchup model.

Yes, 2 ea 12/12 pitch roofs  & then filled the roof with skylights.

Gable end walls with windows that match roof pitch.

Pretty much followed the example in the link.

Thanks again, it worked!

Thanks for the tips fellas.

I'll give both a try.

Any suggestions for making this skylight?

Manually add a roof plane at the rear wall.

Update slope in the DBX

That appears to be a good choice. If i want a wall to frame from bottom floor to roof I was thinking an open below room & walls that balloon through ceiling? No time to try it this minute. But thanks for the suggestion.

I've been out of town & will look at this again tomorrow.

But I made all the rooms 300" high to get the walls up to the underside of the roof structure as a requirement.

I manually added all the ceiling planes which strips tr drywall off the walls.

My plan was to frame the walls with steel for section views.
All wall types vary per specifications.

This leaves what look like post on the walls that do not go to the ceiling. This is a result of manually pulling the top of walls where i need them.

I even tried railing walls, no luck. Next I'll try pony walls.

The ceilings are at 9' with some walls going to 10' & others going all the way up.

I have a 50 room building & need to create ceiling planes in each one.

Can the be done in one process?

The metal building has a roof with underside at 12 feet to 25 feet.

Some walls go to underside of roof, some are 10' tall. I need to have a drop ceiling at 9' for most of the rooms.

Am I going to have to do this manually?

OK seems to be working now.
