Hi Mark thanks for the cabinet options and all the work you put into chief talk ... question for you, how would you create a face frame on a full height cabinet with the sides matching the full cabinet height (no toe kick) and manage the crown to extend out and cover sides. My thought for the crown would have to be a 3d molding polyline thanks

I can understand the time learning PBR, but it seems that it should not be so complex as it is.

What are you looking to have done. I do all of my renders in Lumion jb

I have the same issue .. PBR is the same as a standard view. Preferences ... under render... global illumination off .. improve lighting on or off no difference

Finally got it to work .... thanks everyone

I would like to thank both of you for your input ... BUT I must have something wrong in my defaults ... Solver I followed your instructions to the T.. started with foundation default then once I have the foundation completed I go back and change a wall to the pony wall and I still get the same .. coming up short with the slab ... so that said I am thinking something in my defaults I am doing wrong .. thanks for the help

Had to get the file small enough zip_plan.zip

Thanks for looking at this

X10 Trying to build a foundation wall that has 4 cr of 12" block with the last or top course being 6" and centered in the middle of the 12" block... I built a wall using a poly wall with the top course 6" centered on the 12" block but then in 3D the concrete floors only builds to the 12" block leaving a gap. Anyone have any ideas....this is what I am trying to do thanks

Yes it is .... render time is only seconds, you can make a movie in minutes, adjust lighting in seconds. Very easy to adjust materials but just like anything it takes time to learn. This was a test that I did a while back. Nothing special. Plams front 4.20.17.mp4

Joe I am missing something ... in the AB how do you assign a text or macro ... thought it would be nice to have a poly solid or custom counter top that would total up the tops footage's almost like a room schedule for each room gives the footage, assign a number to each top ..ex T1 = T 2 = and then a total Joe, I am interested in purchasing your macros ... interested in the roof footage's that is live .. so when you change something on a roof the roof layout box totals will change with alterations. Please let me know how to go about purchasing them. Yourself and Alaskan Son do a really nice job in sharing tips Merry Christmas and happy new year to all jb

Open up the item and change the item to its own layer and then un check the layer

thanks Joe

Joe In using dropbox does chief slow down at all.. I am told that could affect the program speed??

You nee to turn your walkout wall into poly walls (upper wall siding and lower foundation) in elevation view to make it easy.. click on the wall and pull down your footing to meet code requirement you need ... on the sides for step footing break the wall and do the same

Dennis where did you see a trailer on X10

From movies to video games, computer-rendered images are pervasive today. Physically Based Rendering introduces the concepts and theory of photorealistic rendering hand in hand with the source code for a sophisticated renderer Sounds like it is an upgrade of what we have now.

Once imported from Chief into Lumion ... set the lighting, plants and adjusted the materials and sky a bit, spent about twenty to thirty min, render is less than 5-10 seconds.

Give your lights a different colors such as red, yellow and then run a vector or a technical view this will show you what lights are on ... another way to see how your light spreads in your scene .

nice

life is way to short to worry about topics of a forum ..for myself I enjoy the learning curve that all topics cover, I look at it as a possible opportunity to better ones product, just like the video mrscott did was worth watching ..ditto.. if you don't like it... don't read it.. now life is easy

It is not a teaser ... you can do a lot, lot more than what they show, from animation of people, cars moving, easy to change lighting, changing property of materials and not complicated to learn at all.

Thanks.... the recessed to main layer did it .... mr dumb dumb

I have noticed on exterior doors or a garage door that the casing does not attach to the wall it attaches to the stone, changing the depth of the jamb does not affect the casing .... I want the casing on the wall ... am I missing some setting? X9

Go into 3d, then to edit active camera and un check shadows
