DavidJPotter Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Where did you obtain the symbol that is giving trouble? Share your plan please. or at least share a screen capture image of your ray trace. No one can answer your question without more data. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subhankar Posted December 20, 2016 Author Share Posted December 20, 2016 Thank you sir Attaching two image. I want to import my own 3d model from Sketch up or 3ds max in chief architect. In this case I have simply made a slab of 1" thickness with material definition glass. Imported it in chief architect and trying how light react with this imported object in ray trace. But I have noticed that light is not passing through the transparent glass object. What wrong I am doing. Untitled 1.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 "Glass" materials imported from Sketchup are assigned as a General Material in Chief Architect. Change the assignment to Transparent and you may get better results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
