Didn't open your plan, but for this one, read the options on the General Panel.  Read very carefully down near the bottom of that panel.

On the door? this is when the room was a porch

 Changing to Garage worked!!!  Thank you

I wouldn't mind so much on a sided wall, but I need the casing removed for the stone.

but if you change say that short porch 'wall' to 'no room definition' you'll get your exterior door.

Its not working for me ???

Also, the exterior casing isn't available.

We often don't need the entire plan. Create a small demonstration plan, or use Edit Area to cut out a section of a larger plan to create a new plan with.

 

And Zip helps too.

Great idea! Will do

I'm running into something strange. I have a breezeway with exterior walls outside the foyer with exterior walls. This breezeway is a porch, and I also have a porch outside the breezeway. But when I place a door, it puts in an interior door. How can I force an exterior door.

When will the Max upload be increased? More than half the plans I want to upload are too large.

Anyway...

Ah! I see what I did...

I did not have the arc segment selected

Note the name of the TAB you used.

Ah! Wonder why it came up that way first? Anyway, Now I know what to look for. I don't use arches often. Thank you!

hmmm - I closed it and opened it again and now it shows up - thank you

I must have the wrong shape or solid - I used a polyline solid I believe

Before you raytrace that scene, you should see if you can adjust the facet angle of the drywall arch. Try 2 degrees, it'll smooth it out nicely. It looks like you used a p-solid, right?

I have seen how to adjust that before and cannot find it again

You do know that you can control the image size

and the duration of the ray trace in the Ray Trace

Options DBX?

Yep

What does PBR stand for? Getting that from the other post.

At the bottom of the screen there is an indicator that tells you the number of completed passes and the total time.

Ah! Thank you

ok, now I took another picture of the screen and it is diffidently getting better.

I would like to ask, and I think I know the answer to this while I am waiting on the trace, is that, the picture shows up after like 2 or 3 minutes, so I am assuming that it is continuing to trace? I just took a picture of the screen and now while I wait, it does seem to slowly get clearer - but not really sure. Will it tell me when it is done? So far I have moved on and get a message that it is still working. And while I type this and look at the picture, I cannot say it is looking any clearer. Thoughts?

Shared it on google drive - you should have it now

I would be using a different software for what I provide to you..Raytrace is a fickle ex-wife

My file is 69Megs - Where can I send it? I will reach out to you on the private message... Thank you

That's a real unknown as it dep[ends on many things such as lighting, number of reflective materials, number of transparent materials (especially when they are on top of each other). Also the size of your pic, with Raytrace if you double the size of your pic it will take 4 times longer per pass. Some traces could take hours/100's of passes. My personal tolerance is about 30 passes which might take 10 or 30 minutes on my system.

Thank you for the info! This give me some direction

You've got a TON of transparent surfaces and very few light sources..a scene like this just takes a while. I think I gave you my email in past...send me your file and I can run this for you on my main machine if you can wait a day or two

I could wait. I keep adding passes, at 15 now and it still not looking great. I figured I have a lot going on. 
Question: How many passes is minimal for a nice pic? I will try that first - it is working faster now.

Well, now I am adding passes and that is taking a few minutes. I'm at 7 now which looks bad, but the time is not so bad. So I think I'm ok.
