Wow - I knew it had to be something as all settings were matching

I like this idea! You need to get some work done! You seem to help me quit often Thank you

This drawing fills up my 36x24 paper so I am placing my vertical section lines to Center or Custom Placement. However, the lines in the garage do not show up, where the lines through the house do.

Thank you! Just found it

Back in X12 I generated a list of my Hotkeys - does anyone know how to do this?

I tried this and all was good until I added a stairs opening. I made up this shadow molding to create the illusion of a gab. This is a matter of making up a room type with the Modern, Simple molding

Just having some fun using the Modern, Simple molding with a baseboard and a small lighted molding...

That's amazing! I thought this was a fairly new design idea.

I am expanding on this a bit. I am using a molding that creates a shadow and illusion of a gap. I added a new Room Type and added this molding for modern homes Modern Base Library molding and material shadow color Modern Base.calibz Use the Modern, Simple molding Works nice for Constriction Docs and Rendering With a base board added...

I got a nice google review this morning from a client who uploaded a black and white copy of a 3D image from the construction docs - so I spent 30 minutes copying and pasting some landscaping from another plan, crudely made my dirt landscape spaces next to the house, added a few trees for shadows, used my camera I include in this thread (from my template) and put an HDRi backdrop in. It took me 30 minutes. Could I fuss with more details, of course. As you update materials, save them as your defaults in your template. Each time you draw a new house you have things already in place within your template, including your camera(s). Drop in a backdrop, add your landscaping, bam!

Reach out to Alaskan Son - He has a macro that does what you are talking about.

I was updating my common section page and thought that others may be able to use this, modify it as you need or gain some ideas for other applications. I will also link a few other posts I made about how I connect my .plan file to my .layout file, because I have my common section page connected to my .Layout. https://my-plan.stevenyhofdesigns.com/v/bwUSgFLREujMf6gkzX5Y My Plan Template https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LNU_XIS7Y11GikHMvH593_V39oGPCV6f/view?usp=sharing My Layout Template https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tVBma2xozylzgklSQknH8FHAqqQE2FEV/view?usp=sharing Give me a +1 if you download and let me know your thoughts

Thank you

Now open the new material and change the Horizontal offset

This is very good. The perspective is viewed as from a car driving by. Lavina, when viewed from the driveway or lawn, set the camera at about 5' from grade - currently you are standing about 8'ish high. More sky, less ground. Your window reflections are looking really good! As Jim said, move the sun around to help cast more shadow. This is not always the case depending on the look you are after, but shadows can help give more life to a more simple structure. Download PixPlant and start to create your own materials.
