new to CA, finished my first complete house plan. I would like to send 3-D views to layout, 1st attempt using Ray-Trace, (slow) @ 50% or so, final print is very pixelated. thanks, I'm not sure how many passes or width and height...how many passes is usually sufficient? Likely that I stopped the Ray Trace too soon. What is the best method to use in CA or should I just avoid 3D to layouts? I am trying new settings posted by another CA member -15 passes Lighting: unchecked camera view settings -ambient Occlusion min .1 - max 3 -direct sunlight 4 Advanced -checked the use photon mapping only Image properties -contrast 60% we will see how it goes...

CA X8 (these are screen shots): When I import DWG files from my engineer (who is using Revit), (see image of CAD block); or from the CA Simpson Hanger manufacture catalog as a CAD Block, (image of joist hanger), into my CAD details; I get multiple lines, vert. Horz. in what appears to be both the holes in the hangers and fasteners. How do I prevent this from happening? When I delete the hanger from the CAD detail, all lines go away so I know it's part of that detail. I cannot "explode" the CAD detail to isolate the Active Layer Display options...thanks. Only tedious fix I've found is to delete all hangers and fasteners and redraw them with CAD, not a good option as my plan has 36 CAD details.

Good morning, New to CA, X8 (formally using X5). (current working plan imported from X5) RE: finishing up a new modern, 2-story plan with multiple exterior finishes: When in orthographic view, I'm trying to select only one (or group selecting several) wall using "Select Objects" arrow so that i can change exterior materials. CA is selecting the floor (when I "open object") It defaults to "room specification" on a particular level instead of the walls...what am I missing as I would like an efficient method of comparing different exterior wall finishes. I was previously taught "never" to use the spray can on exterior surfaces... thanks,
