BartonFiske Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hello, Am a new-ish HD Pro user (about 30 hours over 2 weeks) - know lots about 3d modeling for animation, but too little about real world home construction/architecting. Am struggling to get my floor/ceiling elevations and foundations properly specified - getting walls place how/where I need them also a challenge. Going straight to seeking help forum vs. posting questions which could take hours to explain/document my situation. Building is 1900 era wood frame construction, 3 stories with a brick and stone sub-basement that comes above grade and built on a gradual hill/slope. Seeking to work with someone who can review my model, find obvious mistakes, inconsistencies and get me back on track. I (think) I've got the majority of the structure modeled using tutorials and online help, but don't know enough about how HD Pro wants foundations, walls, floors and ceilings specified. ' Thanks in advance for any offers/advice - motivated to get this model to the next step/level as it will be used to generate construction plans for builders asap. You can reach me directly @ barton.fiske@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCB123 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) I am here and available to talk. I have used Chief Architect now for over 5 yrs now. I can offer you help, over the phone or if you so desire, we can have you pay me something, that we agree on, to block out some time paid for in advance on PayPal now if that works for you? Let me know what you decide pls? These are some of my finished Renderings and projects that I have done. Enjoy!

BartonFiske Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Thanks Joey - that's exactly right..hope this can get sorted as I was confused by the response and where I was redirected? Quick update on this thread - I did get several responses from qualified people and no unsolicited or inappropriate responses. Eventually I went with one of the people who replied for an hour of their time using screen sharing and voice call to guide me through issues I was seeing and they answered the vast majority of my questions and ultimately was worth the time. The going rate quoted was $120/hr - so I paid 2x the monthly rental rate for HDPro, but now I can actually use it. :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
