Thanks everyone for your comments. I have played with it some more and got it to pretty much work. Marking this as solved.

Okay I was able to get is small enough to upload. I have attached it to my original post. Please let me know if it works. Thanks!

Hi Rene. I tried backing it up with the plan files only and it's still too large to upload. I've deleted as much from the file as possible. Is there a way to purge unused information? Thanks!

Looking to the greater CA community for help. I have read the posts about retaining walls and terrain spiking, which mine was, so I changed the wall to a foundation wall not a retaining and added a terrain break but I still must be doing something wrong. The terrain needs to slope from -8 at the parking lot to -146. I have deleted everything from the drawing except what I need to show so it's going to look weird when you pull up a camera view. I have attached the plan (CA Pro X15) and an image of the problem. Thanks in advance for any help! terrain back up file.zip

Thank you both. Those are great solutions! Appreciate your input.

I have never been able to get vanity lights to look light actual lights. This is a perfect example. The bulb material is White Lighting. I have tried every level of lumens and if I go too bright it washes out the glass. If I go too low, it doesn't show at all. I also have lights set at each bulb at 200 lumens but they don't show up as individual lights in the bulbs. How do you do it?? I have attached a photo. It is a horrible rendering because of the lighting. I use PBR renders. FYI, I have turned off the back walls of the room so I can see the room. I am using CA Pro X15. I have attached the pic and the plan. Help! Thanks! proposed bath.zip

Thank you! That is exactly what I needed!

I read a post a while back about someone who created a block of a whole building to drop it into another plan. I need to do that and was wondering how that is done. I tried 'selecting all' in both plan view and 3D camera mode and nothing happens. Has anyone does this before? Thanks!

Standard blue sky backdrop. Tried changing and still happens. I tried changing sun direction and tilt direction. No changes.

Hi all Can anyone explain why light from the outside is coming through the tops of the walls in my interior renderings? Sun is set to 250. PBR ambient set to 250. All roof layers are on. This happens to me quite often so would love to solve. Using CA Pro X15. Thanks!

Thank you!!!!

Hi all, I bought a new laptop when I started using CA 2 years ago and got a gaming computer with an NVIDIA 3050 video card. I was thinking of now upgrading to one with a 4080 to speed up my renderings. I would love some feedback on whether this will make a significant difference in speed before I shell out $2500. Thanks!

Hi all, I am using Premier X15. When I export a plan to Autocad, the dimensions come in wrong. They come in on the dimension line not above it. I have tried editing the dimension style and updating the dimensions in Autocad but it doesn't change them. I have to manually move each dimension. Has any else had this happen or know how to solve this issue? Thanks!

Thanks Scott!!

Scott recently did a webinar and he used this cover sheet showing a bath project. This may seem silly, but I want to show my finish samples the way he did but I can't figure out he showed them at an angle. Any suggestions? I attached a pic of the sheet.
