  1. Thank you! I will try this!

     

    I have reworked the original model and did the pillows separately.  Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of the pattern lines on the generic pillow surface, as the fabric I apply goes on the surface in quarter sections. 

     

  2. I have fabric patterns that I have designed in Photoshop. The end result is a pattern square, that when applied to a larger canvas will have a seamless repeat. 

     

    When I import the defined pattern to CA as a material, and apply it to a sofa, it may apply properly in regard to the repeat and size, but doesn't distribute properly onto various parts of the sofa, the way a seamstress would position it.  I've tried importing the material as the pattern square, allowing it to repeat on the sofa, and I've tried importing it after allowing it to repeat onto a larger canvas. I have figured out how to size the material, but positioning it is problematic. Back pillows, for example, don't look right because the pattern isn't centered on each one as it would normally be.  And it's all one item, so can't do pillows separately.  Any suggestions? 

  3. Is there any way to create virtual staging without building the space first? A client was asking me about using her photos of the vacant property, and filling them with furnishings virtually.  I believe the only way I can do that is by creating the rooms first. Is that correct?

  4. Having trouble making a path for 3d walkthrough. Seems to be 2 very different ways of doing it. I can't get continuous path when i turn a corner. And I can't get the sunlight setting to be where I want it. Thoughts? The one walkthrough video is hard to follow and its out of date.

    X-11...

     

    This was again made using poly line solids... But with a cut-out for each piece, so that the rug reads as one. 

     

    The 8 foot section was created first. Then it gets a poly line solid "hole" for the middle section.

    The middles section gets slid into position... and likewise it gets a cut-out for the center.

    The center section goes into place... and voila.  (3) pieces all at the same height. No shadows lines.

    Gosh, thank you so much!

  6. Is there a way to edit the number of lites in the upper portion of a double hung window, and create a different number of lites in the other portion?  Seems I can only get the same number in the upper and lower.

  7. When I have imported a material to apply to a piece of furniture, how do I get the different parts of the furniture to take the fabric in the right proportions?  I am trying to apply a fabric swatch (with a pattern) and it isn't sized consistently on the chair.  Thoughts?

    Thank you!

  8. I had to reinstall my CA and was able to reload my user catalog. But the bonus catalog and manufacturer catalogs don't seem to be anyplace that I can find them. Do I need to download each and everyone of them again? And is there a way to bulk-download them from the website?

  9. I am working on a renovation of this old cottage.  I first want to draw it as is.  These stairs lead up to a loft. They intersect the kitchen and so there is an angled wall which is just the underbelly of the stairs.  I can't seem to get it right, including the area I need to close up along the side of the stairs, over the counter. What am I missing?
