I think key frames is it. Otherwise, you'd need to stitch 2 videos together using a video editing app. or add the pause in an editor.

That's the beauty of it...you need to consider their budget. I have no constraints!

For sure! It's easy to just toss out ideas from here, you know?!

@stevenyhof I assume this design was led by toilet paper hoarding? Or perhaps the client is doubling down on the green smoothies for breakfast? What can I say, this made me chuckle! However if they need to strip down to use the can, then perhaps the shower heads need to be reoriented so the client has room to practice their ski-jumping form!

So I think I was right about the roof proportions being off. The hip roof was a 5:12 while everything else was 8:12...I changed it to 8:12. And the large gable was placed at a totally random dimension...I moved it to 6' back from the wall with 18x8 garage door. I'd even suggest going to 18x9 just to fill up that space a bit more.

A few simple thoughts: the hip roof on the right could extend further to reduce the height of the gable behind it. That proportion doesn't feel quite right. I'd add similar gable siding treatments to both gables. Some decoration at the forward gable will help reduce the visual impact of the larger gable Add a timber truss to the gable ends mounted behind the sub-fascia. increase the height of the garage door on the right by 12". If it's 7', try using 8'....if it's 8' try using 9'. Again the proportion is off a bit IMO. Colors...tans are drab and they don't help it look better.

It's my limited experience that when a proposed design has some unique elements that are not clearly defined by the building code, that it is good practice to seek guidance from the authority having jurisdiction. The photos make for a great first stab at communicating that proposal and, if the authority is willing to explore it further, a real-life mockup can be used to examine the function for the purpose of identifying if the unique proposal will satisfy the intent of the building code. Some authorities are more open to new ideas than others, and often the client needs to be willing and able to pay the designers and tradespersons for these extra steps to fulfill their vision.

To add to Graham's suggestion, I'd recommend a specific light set for that view. I create light sets and name them to coordinate with saved cameras.

In this case, the best help will come if you can post the plan file.

Yeah, its fairly complicated. Relatively quick if you know how, but awful if you aren't sure where to start. Just like the real thing! If you need something like this for a set of plans that has some $ available for outsourcing, you can get it built by someone else, right in your plan file. Then, you'll have the 2D to detail it, the 3D for renderings, and the objects to reverse engineer it for quick learning.

Manual modeling. 3d moldings, solids, hardware...

uncheck and replace the value with 2

Didn't he invent the screw auger? A special bit that gouges the screw head into an inverted cone? @stevenyhof Before you raytrace that scene, you should see if you can adjust the facet angle of the drywall arch. Try 2 degrees, it'll smooth it out nicely. It looks like you used a p-solid, right?

When I open both plans, and model them with the SAME dimensions, I get the same output. The OP may want to examine the settings closer.

Just make those 2 walls invisible.

Single click on the wall you'd lick to be a gable. Look at the tool options that appear and you'll see a house shaped icon showing a gable roof. Click it.

Where is your project located? If you are in Canada..like maybe in Nova Scotia perhaps...the garage floor CANNOT extend over the foundation walls at the access perimeter. The building code requires a minimum 2" curb to contain the 'spill' of heavier-than-air fumes into conditioned space...regardless of the type of door that may be located at the lower level. In some instances, access to the basement is via a stair from the garage. In such cases, a curb must be installed at the edge of the garage floor area and must be sealed to the foundation wall, curb or partition between the garage and adjacent spaces. See Figure A-9.35.2.2.(1).

I would suggest to use the plan view area of conditioned space at the ceiling level. I can't see this being a problem with any code reviewer. Perhaps the only problem with using the footprint of the entire roof is added cost in roof vents; a minor issue but one that might bug a contractor. And, when in doubt, consult with the plan reviewer. In Canada it is more clearly defined. Our building code term is "the insulated ceiling area". Otherwise, our 2 codes are very similar re.: roof venting.

You are correct. Slope percentage calculations, place an elevation point, transform/replicate at the appropriate coordinate offsets, then copy and reflect about the center line.

Really awesome of you! The roof symbol is on its own layer (Roof 2) and the elevation points are on their default layer and can be turned back on...I just turned it off once I was done with them. parabolic roof data.mp4
