Rich,
Thanks ,that is what I am after, but with a higher resolution.

dshall,
It's the sun location. My rear elevation renders real well and that was the one I was after. I have noticed that the quick shadow will look great on one side and pretty bad on the others, but I rarely go to trouble of moving the sun around (sounds superhuman!). I usually set up my plan to have the primary elevation at the bottom of the screen and this seems to be how CA has oriented it. I will look into it and might find a better default location. I need to play with lights more - I really don't fool with them too much.
System hardware should be good -

Thanks, This is what I have thought about, but I could not track down the image file. I think this might work as I want to see the plant from above. I will look for the 3D plants. I remember them from past versions, but have not seen them lately. They were render hogs as I recall.

I am wanting to rotate a plant image , specifically the Hendera helix - the middle one, so that it appears flat to grow on the top of a trellis. Any ideas?

Larry,
It does need some tweaking, but this was just a quick study - I did it in a hour. That is a landing for the first tread. CA will not do a round end stair on a stair that passes through a doorway. One nice thing about using the slabs and polylines for the casing is the flexibility to make those little tweaks. Way slower and we seldom detail out the trim, other than note to match existing - the trim carpenters usually do a good job on the site.
Existing looks like this.

Michael,
All the trim was suppressed on the doors and replaced with 3D molding polylines. The lintels have the Windsor One moldings applied to them and another molding for the casing legs. That allows the lintel to extend over multiple doors and the stair opening.

Just showing. I had never done casings and lintels piece by piece before. Worked pretty well and was quicker than I thought.

I will admit I still use a lot of workarounds that I have always used and do not explore the new options we get as the program evolves. I get busy and I just go for speed to get the work finished. This forum is great to keep up with this forum to stay with the current features and it amazes me to find a button, that has been sitting there, that will do exactly what I want to do. This is a deep program and I probably use 75% of the features, if that, after twenty years. I am trying to do an hour or so, on the weekends, looking at the videos, this forum, etc.- worth it - I always find some good technique. You guys are good.

I thought this program's nickname was "workaround". Have I been missing something since V2?

That might be tough - maybe if I make a wall out of airgap. I will see.

Thanks for the replies.

I am wondering if there would be any issues moving a file back and forth between a Mac version to a windows version of CA. Anybody had any experience with this?
Thanks,
Charlie

Rich - that does look good on the sample view - the thumbnail texture only comes over as a low res image, though. Can you upload the png file of it?
