As Cooper mentions and I want to reiterate, You should draw EVERYTHING to full scale, even your cad details. Paper space mentality!

@DeLayDesign AH.. the dreaded PS. To start, that's where I'd look too. With your vid card and ram, no way should this being doing what its doing.

@thomasbldgdsgn So it is good to move forward with helping Go Blue? I just want to make sure... @GoBlueDesign Go Blue is right! Lets get that championship! Hale to the Victors. I would love to help you out too, but backlog not able to start anything new till Feb.

No kidding... I spent a few minutes on this last night, and didn't know how to even search for a resolution.

@glennw @yusuf-333 Hey gents.. a quick question on these spirals staircases. I am just using the normal stairs, nothing fancy on the rails, etc.. however, its giving this "bumpout" when I get near the second floor deck. How to I get this to NOT do this? I has to be a setting because the one I copied inward, does not do this.

I am no expert on this, not even close.. I too have struggled with rooms that should be bright as day but look dark, like yours. My observations are this: Why does the rope light look like its hanging at door height? Causing that shadow line, I assume, because the light is facing down. All the can lights appear to be in the soffit and none in the actual ceiling? Lights aim down, meaning the main ceiling will look dark. move some of the 18 to the ceiling. I think 18 is way to many. Is this a PBRT? I set my lights at 2850 lums max in this situation.. just to get a descent camera view. I have my samples set at 500. With your machine, it shouldn't take long either. My denoise is checked and I max out the brightness to 100.00. All done in the render technique Options DBR. Hope this helps some, and I hope the PBRT pros chime in too.. I'd like to know myse;f.

It seems to be working fine down here in FL. Good luck figuring it out. Is your network, ok?

It explains it, and makes sense.. but I AM so anal and OCD and have a machinery design background (Autodesk Inventor), the 24' 8.52198701889" would absolutely drive me crazy (unless tolerance wise that is what it is supposed to be).. lol. That would be a nice 24' 8.5000000000" even. And that's probably why I hadn't seen this issues before, because even though I use snaps my grid is turned off. And most homes are not right at 0,0 either if I was to check.

@Garybills BTW Gary, I did NOT downvote you, I never do. We are to lift one another and learn, like I learned myself with this issue. I actually have my defaults at 1/8" myself (like you mentioned to do), but when I saw the distance was true, but the dim wasn't.. I knew it was more than a tolerance thing. Not a fan of the grid, but that is my preference. Like Gary stated, you learn something everyday.

Yep. I brought this into another blank model and it worked as it was supposed to.. never dawned on me it came at 0,0. @solver Curious, why did this being at 0,0 make the difference when the distance was true?

As true as this is, if the wall is exactly at 24' 8 1/2", it would dimension that no matter the format. There's something else going on here.

Hey @ObviousAlias we are up and running on the big boy box now. Thanks for checking in. I highlighted (WITH NEW POWER SUPPLY) in my signature when Dell fixed her. Almost like new.. There was another thread on the sales of licenses that we all jumped on, if that's what you were looking for.

Merry Christmas Chiefer's... Hope the holidays are great, safe and exciting. Remember the real reason for the season. I hope 2024 is less working hours but more money in the coffers.. lol. If this is possible. @LASdesignNice designs! Matter a fact, one gave me an inspiration to a home I am doing.

I made this 10000 when at one time the walls were grey, just seemed real dark. Now that they are am off white, I can adjust like what you mentioned. Stay tuned.

Have two base cabinets in the same spot, one being in its own layer something like, "base cabinet open". Have this one where it is not included on a schedule or have a label. Turn one off in the view you don't want to show it in.

There is something to this for sure. A quickie plan with two toilets is attached. You can see the sun is coming form the opposite wall that where the glow is shown on toilet 2.. whereas toilet 1, on an outside wall, has no glow. Cool.. but I am not touching it to change the batteries... TOILET HOUSE 1.plan

Nope... actually 1/2" off. There is a room on the other side of this wall too, not an exterior wall. Here it is as white... Symbol K-3983-S Reach Toilet Standard Toilet That's going to be a design trend in 2024... lol. I will do this tomorrow, because if its not happening with you all, then I am def curious now. There is a slight glow from the bowl area too... umm... what the heck did they eat, :-)

yes to all of the above.. and the same results with other porcelain fixtures as well

Why do my toilets, no matter the scenario (except at night) always glow? I know its a thrown to some, but... Any idea on how to fix? I have moved the sunlight from different directions, always a roof or foundation in place, but still a glow. All my plans this occurs.. I have these as matte too..

pretty cool.... literally.

I'm trying to understand the legacy thing here.. Since I have a paid in full license and keep it up to date with my SSA, I am able to purchase an additional license at $1295? BUT this isn't as I have with my legacy, whereas I do not own that new license and if I do not renew, I lose it? Since I am a one man show, this doesn't seem like a good business decision, when all I have to do is keep my SSA active and just transfer licenses back and forth. Or am I reading this all wrong? Thanks

They get these too.. just because my vids have always sucked. Haha.. like how the hades am I going to pay $350 a sq for this house at 8% Def going to try this.. yours and the other experts on here all suggested this. I'm not trying to break into Hollywood as a movie producer, I just want a very nice and clean travel path for my clients to view the product. You guys have helped tremendously. Already ahead from this time yesterday. Classic film, but now a days I fall asleep within 10 minutes. But, I should wake in time to see the credits.

At 15 fps.. so it's still kinda jumpy. So a crisper run would be going to a higher fps? This one I just did ended up being almost 4 minutes long. Still needs work, however night and day using the 3DConnection mouse and making a vid (I didn't get nauseated either). This took almost 40 minutes to process.. does that seem right? I am just now learning the preview tool, that would have saved time waiting to see the results after the render. I am using a standard camera.

You need help... LOL. I'm just trying to get the camera from dancing all over, and your making it to a music track. Your def in a different league. I have watched this and attempting my second go round. My first one, was all set at 3 seconds.. and man did it fly.. So this attempt I dropped about half the cameras to 1.5. It doing its "rendering" now.. This takes time, doesn't it? I had 82 frames in a 2 bedroom 1600 sq home, is this excessive? How do you guys stop, and pick up elsewhere? Or do I need to watch that vid again?

HAHA.. THIS IS ME TO THE TEE.. and it sucks. If I get dizzy, I know my clients are like wtheck!! I've never tried doing it via a path before, but it all make sense. Wow, Ok.. thank you Coop. Watching now. Do you spend a lot of time on these? I am working from behind with my resent PC issues.. I'm like a month behind, but catching up quickly and I don't want to spend hours on this.
