Depending on what you need to show, it's a good idea to have a light set for each camera.

For Camera 4: turn on the layer for interior lights. Adjust the automatic light count to something high, like 200. Even better, create a light set for that camera and turn on all lights and set them all to cast shadows.

You could give something like this a try. I used 2 doors, 2 different width. They overlap by 5/8" in plan view. Then I modified a door symbol's stretch plane. Do not mull them.

All you should need is a light source that is on in that view and shadows toggled on.

Short Answer...No. The callout is the camera. However you can place an actual callout and link it to the camera view. This will require some customization of layers and their display. In other words, you'll need to place the camera for which you'd like a substituted callout on a separate layer that won't display in plan view.

You wouldn't have to change the name, it has no structural effect.. But it might be a good idea to rename the detached garage to something like..."Detached Garage". Then when people are discussing your plans, everyone will be able to know what the other person is referring to...as long as you can find people who are clever enough to refer to a room by it's actual name.

Well, it was worth a shot! What I described did fix my side window re-sizing issue but mine was different than yours. Hopefully TS can solve it for you.

Try this: turn on the display of the Walkthrough Preview. Move it to a secondary monitor so it is completely undocked from Chief. Adjust side windows as desired. Close the Walkthrough Preview. Close Chief. Open Chief and review position of side windows.

3d Pattern Tip: The toggle tool is not available for every rendering technique, however the layer display of "Patterns, 3D Views" will work for other rendering techniques. Just remember to press 'F12' after toggling the display of this layer. Curtesy of @Alaskan_Son

Plus it's Friday. You'd think everyone would be in a great mood!

Before: After:

Would you mind sharing an image of the light fixture you are getting modeled?

1. You used a material that has a pattern assigned. You can either toggle off patterns or adjust the material and remove the pattern. 2. To move the railing inward, simply increase the railing wall thickness.

Won't they add the light data? If not, then yes you can. Import the symbol as 'electrical'. Select 'Show Advanced Options', go to Options tab and check Light.

Before chasing one's tail too vigorously, one should have a plan for what to do if they catch it!
