Here's a tip that might be relevant to this thread... maybe you all know about it, but I stumbled across it recently. You can obviously click on any of the gallery images to see them at a larger scale, but this view is limited to your browser window size. Did you know that you can right-click on that image, and choose "Open image in new tab", to access a full scale version of the image and see it as the poster intended? In the new tab, you may even be able to zoom in a little closer for more detail. The cursor should indicate if it is full zoom or not. This functionality might be browser specific... I use Chrome.

Wow, they are definitely similar! The ray trace is visibly "softer" looking, but if you are providing the images in a relatively small resolution, maybe the final view render works in this case. Interesting test, thanks for sharing!

From the album: 1 Bathroom, 6 Ways
Here is a simple layout to communicate to the client the bathroom space in plan format, and some variations of the room's potential through the presentation views. This might be used as a communication tool with some descriptions of the finish materials to make it easier for the client realize her options. -
This was a demonstration of ways to use Chief Architect's presentation views to communicate with a client the finished look of a room. It is easy to transform one room to have very different character, depending on the material choices you make.

There is the Extended Tool Configuration, much like there was in X5 and previous versions (we stopped naming it "all tools" some version ago, maybe X3). To access this configuration, go to Tools>Customize Toolbars, and choose the "Configurations" panel. From the list on this panel, select "Extended Tool Configuration" and click <Switch Tool>. Doing this will set your toolbars to use this configuration. I hope that helps to clarify.

Ric Howe started a thread long ago encouraging others to share their Chief Architect creations (usually rendering scenes). http://www.chieftalk.com/showthread.php?36571-Time-to-Show-YOUR-GOODIES!!!!!! I wanted to help continue this tradition by recreating the thread here, but with a twist... If you haven't explored it yet, this forum allows users to create image Albums. You can allow others to comment and rate your images, just click on the Gallery tab on the top of the page to see what others have posted or start your own album. I've thrown myself in the ring with this album so that we have an example to start from: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/gallery/album/9-1-bathroom-6-ways/ Share yours too, we are always excited to see what users are creating. Just set up your Album, and then post a link on this thread to share with the rest of us!

From the album: 1 Bathroom, 6 Ways
This was the starting point for the bathroom. I think we created the scene to flesh out an image at our User Group Meeting about creating custom cabinetry, in this case, the vanity. -
From the album: 1 Bathroom, 6 Ways
This industrial take uses elements to represent reclaimed materials, like barnwood, corrugated metal, and diamond plate. Also it includes utilitarian concrete floors, and a vintage industrial style powder coated metal cabinet. -
From the album: 1 Bathroom, 6 Ways
This one uses natural materials, like bamboo, concrete, and maple to create a subtle and clean look. Probably should have done something different with the shower floor, but we'll imagine it has a nice thick waterproof coating. -
From the album: 1 Bathroom, 6 Ways
This one is trying to be elegant and simple. I like the glass chevron style tiles from Ann Saks website, and the clean diamond patterned tile in the shower. -
From the album: 1 Bathroom, 6 Ways
In this version, I tried to use bold colors to create a more sophisticated version of the bathroom that reminded me of Asian Contemporary scenes I'd seen. -
From the album: 1 Bathroom, 6 Ways
I screen captured tile from Ann Saks website to create custom materials in Chief, then applied them and a variety of other materials to create varying looks. This is my version of "eclectic". -
From the album: 1 Bathroom, 6 Ways
This was the starting core scene. Everything has been applied a white 'porcelain' like material to emphasize the 'blank slate'. -
Download the Plan and Layout here: http://www.chiefarchitect.com/products/samples.html This plan was created in an exercise of using layers and polyline solids to illustrate a technique for creating a timber frame home. *Note: Because I am not a Timber Frame Expert, this design is not conforming to any standards or beam sizes. It is up to those actually constructing a structure such as this to adapt their designs for actual building requirements.
