I figured it out. Just needed to delete terrain and redo. A Glitch

It works on one of my plans but it refuses to show up on another plan I'm working on. really weird

I have noticed that if I adjust the terrain with elevation lines the grass region will not show in full camera view. It disappears and does not follow terrain. Also why did CA block the grass region to ray-trace/ It only works with PB

YES!!!!! Thank you! And now that I think about it I did have to manually add the vertical frieze. HEY Chief, maybe that would be a great addition to incorporate into the program seeing the fact that this is the typical way frieze board is done in this situation

I did it once! Going into this dialog box "Wall Specification/roof/Auto roof return" is just not working. Have not found an adjustment in "Roof Plane Specification " dialog box either. I need to make my bird-box larger by wrapping around my front wall however far I want without seeing a roof return (SHOWN IN BLUE) all while my frieze board to continue like you see in RED. Like I said I did it once and was like "WOW I DID IT!" But now I can't remember what I did...

So if I am reading this chart correctly. the 4080 doesn't look like its much different overall than the 4090. Or at least not something to brag about by sporting the 4090. Correct/

Huge jump in price between RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 Is is worth it. Is there really that much difference it RayTrace or PBR?

Thanks for your advice. I need a laptop though do to travel.

Will these suffice? I am looking at these setups. Which is better? Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen9 - Gaming Laptop, 16" WQXGA 240Hz Display, Intel 24-Core i9-14900HX, RTX 4070, 64GB DDR5,4TB SSD, Backlit KB, Wi-Fi 6E, Windows 11 Pro, HP Omen Newest High-Performance i9 Gaming Laptop, 17.3" QHD 165Hz Display, Intel Core i9-13900HX, GeForce RTX 4080, 64GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, Webcam, RGB Backlit KB, Wi-Fi 6E, Windows 11 Pro

Great! How are your results in PBR with this setup. My setup now does not support x15 or x16 now. My current GTX 1660Ti graphics is now being laughed at by x15 LOL! Our office computer work station has x15 and PBR works great. But when I open x15 on my laptop it looks horrible. That's why I am starting a new build. Maybe you will see your next build presented on this thread

Buying and building a new laptop this week. If I start using x16 what is the best build. I am a big CPU RayTrace and PBR user. I am willing to put the money into this for best results. Please if anyone has a breakdown on "must haves" as far as power, speed, graphics and memory goes, I am open for suggestions! Hoping this thread can be the go-to for the answers many might need answered on this subject. I have only found hit or miss topics about this. They are either old post or post more focused on x15 (but very few, (might be the same requirements as x16 idk) But it would be great for everyone to throw out their "basic budget builds"..."perfectly fine builds"..."money no object builds" here on this thread! I want to see breakdown list honestly LOL! Thanks

No I'm not using any spherical backdrop just regular backdrops. They tend to be blurry in PBR but not when Ray Tracing. I also am not having plants disappear just images I might place outside a window. They are seen at all times until I use PBR, then they vanish and I only see the main backdrop through the windows, but again that is blurry.

I have noticed when I use PBR for interior views the outside is shown blurry through the windows. Also it refuses to show any images placed outside the window that I want seen from inside. It will ignore them and only show the backdrop I chose. In the attached screenshots the trees outside are heavily pixelated AND it is the backdrop I chose but I also added a image for additional backdrop effect but PBR ignores that added image. IF I use just normal Ray Trace...none of this happens. Just wondering what the deal is and is there a work around.

Okay thanks

Here is the plan.file. Note: I built this mainly for exterior elevations only and was not so concerned with true structural framing. So this is more of a shell. Change order to 5plex.zip
