Be careful with your material selections.  You can easily get into a scenario where the file size is so big it becomes unusable.  Many custom made materials will really drive the file size up.

That makes sense, thanks!

You can use grass patch models instanced with the distribution tools, though you would need to find really low poly count models
 

thank you, where have you been able to find a low count one?

Hi, I am trying to find a way for more realistic grass for renderings and am wondering what people use to create a grass that looks more 3D (like the attached image).

Thanks

I would fake that wall with a polyline. Do you really need the lumber list the actual wall will produce? The other option would be to make that section of wall 3.5" thicker and make it a pony wall. But really, the polyline.

I tried adding the extra 2x4 to the 2x6 wall as a pony wall but found that I had the same problem unfortunately. I was thinking about the polyline but was hoping that there would be a better way. Thanks!

SH_Canada, that worked! Thank you so much, I can't believe I didn't think to try that!

Hi there, this is my first time posting so I hope I do it right.

I am trying to put a half plumbing wall against a 2x6 exterior wall and put a window above the height of the plumbing wall, but in the exterior wall. For some reason every time I put the half wall against the exterior wall it hides the part of the wall that is under the window, but is perfectly fine in 3D view. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The half wall is 40" tall and the bottom of the window is 42".

I am using Premier X13 on windows.
