How do I hide the walls? There is a prompt for that in the camera setting, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Can you point me in the right direction to learn more about that? Thank you!

All good feedback, thank you!!

Hi. Looking for suggestions on taking photos within small spaces. I’m trying to capture a closet design I’ve done for a client. I used the floor overview, I’ve done a straight on camera with making a wall disappear so I can stand further back etc… They all work but thought I’d ask if others have things that work for them. This is for the realistic ray trace “glam shot”. Thanks!

Yes this was the solution. Thanks!

This was the solution. Thanks so much!

I did. And it still doesn't act like a cabinet after deleting the surface.

Ah, that looks promising, thank you Robert!

Hello. I just closed off a small area under an eave, for storage purposes. In order for it to blend in with the adjoining cabinets, I chose to make it a cabinet that is only an inch deep. Then I deleted the back cabinet wall so I can show my client what the space looks like with the door open. Since making these changes to the cabinet, the option to show the door open/closed doesn't pop up anymore. I think my error is around the confusion of converting it to/from a symbol. Thoughts? Thank you!

Well, the project is complete but I don't think I did it very productively, so yes and no, lol. But we can close out this question, thanks.

I got it done, but it was very tricky (for me). Closet C for CA help.plan

been doing exactly that. They dont' meet properly.

Thanks for the reply. I am getting some better results in the last half hour. But I still think I made this harder than necessary. What I was having trouble with was making the lower portion of both planes a certain color. And the upper halves to match the ceiling. Each plane has different measurements, pitch and size, so they are meeting at the bottom and then flaring out at the top, like an ice cream cone leaning over. I can't attach the plan. It's too big, even thought I reduced all the extras and zipped it. Thanks for your time! I am continuing to work on it.

I created 2 eaves with ceiling planes (I didn't need to draw the entire house, just a closet) and I would like to make the upper portion of the 2 eaves blend in with the ceiling color. I want the lower half of the 2 eaves to be the wall color. I have tried cutting the ceiling planes in half, and creating the uppers in white and the lowers in the wall color. But when the upper and lower halves meet, they join and revert back to one color. I can't add a backsplash or material region to the planes. Any other way to do this? It took me a whole day just to get these planes positioned and sized properly enough, so I am open to knowing if there was a better method for that too. You can see they don't even meet at the bottom the way they should. I have zipped and reduced the file as much as possible, but it's still too large to attach. Here is a camera view. Thank you!

I appreciate your time! This looks helpful, thanks!

You're right! I am glad you pointed that out. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much. I will try this tomorrow!!

Thank you!

I have created a "fake" house to work on a custom closet for a client. The closet has eaves and I've created ceiling planes to mimic the shape of the room. I want to add crown molding to the top of the ceiling plane and have it join with the crown molding of the closet built-ins. I can't seem to create crown molding on the top of the ceiling plane. What's the nest method for doing this? Thank you!

Thank you!

I am wondering if there is a protocol for working on a room design without having to draw the entire house. I usually create a box, simple roof and foundation, to make sure the renderings have the right light. When there are complicated roof lines and odd eaves in the room, I sometimes use polyline solids, rather than spend time on the roof line. I am wondering what other people do. Here is a closet I am doing for a client. There are 2 sloped ceiling planes that are angled and meet each other at the bottom in a point. It's almost like an upside down cone. I am not sure what the entire roof looks like, so I can't reproduce it. Any advice here? Thanks!

Thank you so much for these helpful videos!

Yes that made a huge difference thank you!

Oh wow, I didn’t even know about the surface delete tool. Thank you!

I've never quite figured out how to use stretch zones and planes properly. I have watched all the videos and it's confusing. I just removed the legs from a wood stove, using the 3 planes. The dimensions change even before I change them, just by establishing the planes. Why is that? Anyway, I successfully shortened the stove so the legs are gone. I lowered it to the floor. But now I want to make it taller. When I do that, the legs reappear. I tried saving it as a library item after the first edit thinking it will be a new item now, and I can repeat the process to change the height. But it's not working. Any advice? Thank you.
