Front Exterior - South Carolina
kMoquin commented on Designers_Ink's gallery image in Members Albums
"South Carolina" looks very nice! Is that all rendered in CA? -
Love the atmosphere in that rendering Johnny. (And the design looks great as well.)
-
Graham - nice work Your materials look great!

A bit of semantics:
-
A beam extending from the valley is not an issue, how it looks on the other hand...

Jintu, This was done in X-9. (Looks like I need to update my signature.) I've noticed the line-weight in the exported seems to be a function of both Chief settings and monitor resolution.
-
Here are a couple images of the way I am currently presenting sketchy renderings. I export a "Standard" view and a "Line Drawing" from the same camera position and at the same size. I open the standard view in Gimp then add import the Line drawing as an layer and adjust the transparency.

Here are some renders I put together for the realtor to put together a website for this mixed use building I designed. All done in CA.

I knew that house was in Vermont before I saw the license plate on the car in the driveway. In fact I an architect I used to work for in Western Massachusetts called that a "Vermont window." (Though we have our share of windows installed that way in Maine too.)

I've found a custom counter top and p-solid sides to be the best solution.

In the north-east we use dormers pretty regularly. I always build them manually.
-
Maya, I'll send you an email.

or try this: pick the date you created the file

Also know that if you download the "DataCAD" hatch pattern you can translate it to Chief pretty easily. I translated a number of them a few years back. I cannot recall the exact process off the top of my head, but it was not difficult.

It is a matter of coordinating with your printer. Each printer and each screen will render the images differently. I usually bump up the brightness on my images to manipulate how they print. It is really a trial an error process to find which settings work best with your equipment. If your co-workers typically print from PDF, I'd suggest you do the same as a method to fine tune the printed result,

I aim for a setup where most of the hot keys I use are accessible with my left hand. that way my right always stays on the mouse. Currently that setup is devised with a few programmed hot keys and a few out of-the-box hot keys that fit the left hand reach constraint. Otherwise I pick from the toolbars. The "hand on the mouse" approach is a pretty good time saver as well. (I did print out Glenn's list to see if there are any I can incorporate.)

Trippy

Did you check the Knoll website? or 3D warehouse. I think these are readily available.
-
Johnny and Richard may be right. Sketchup's "follow me" tool could do this. (Though I would not be surprised if someone else comes forward with a way to make this in Chief.)

In General Camera Defaults, enter a lower number for Ambient Occlusion to lessen the effect, or zero to eliminate.

X9 Render Setting if you have issues in Elevation Views
kMoquin replied to tchomes's topic in General Q & A
This is a symptom of an outdated driver not a need to change preference settings. -
Jonathan - Thanks for the tip about Ambient Occlusion. I was not fond of the shadows in the corners in X9. Now I know how to change them.
-
I agree Johnny. In Maine, unfortunately , there is no contractor licensing. You can be a store clerk one day and a builder the next, if you can convince someone to hire you.

Alex - I found out what it was and where i was by turning off layers one by one. When I found what layer it was on I turned off all the layers except that one.
