  1. I am sure this has been covered. When siting a house on a lot- WHat is the best practice - Should I rotate the survey on a design layer? MAYBE, Obviously, I am not going to be creating my house on an angle on a design layer- Is this an instance when I use the rotate Plan function in the toolbar- What recommendations to fold typically do? I typically will haveset up my design layers,- level 1 plan, level 1 floor, level 2 plan, etc, survey layer, etc thanks Andrew
  2. Hi there- I have a client requesting a 3-d model export of our 4 story building. I have export it as IFC but it seems there is no way to check with a viewer of sorts to see if the translation came across correctly. IS there a way to check? Also I am exporting each design layer, foundation layer, then the first floor layer, etc... I am the top view in the design layer when exporting. Not sure if the person on the other end can then line up akll the layers correctly. Does anyone know a simpler or more precise way to export the whole model? I am not exactly sure what the recipient will be using on the other end for software to work with. I believed they want to hire someone to do a super high-end rendering
  3. Hi- I am curious if anyone has ever created a video of their project showing in slow motion the parts being put together to create a house. Meaning, can I show in a video, the floor in wire frame mode going in, then the walls, then the furniture, plumbing, etc. then ceiling then 2nd flr , 2nd floor walls, etc, etc- then changing to open gl with no color, then with color, then produce in final quality renderworks, lastly the actual image of the house built? If so, what software would I need to create this?- Trying to add to my website and thought it would be cool to show all the parts and pieces that are involved in building a house?
  4. I was hoping someone can point n the right direction to find 3-d plugins or symbols for things like bed spreads, bedding sheets,, and other interior decorating 3-d symbols
  5. Thought this might be the best place to go for lighting ideas- I am creating lighting fixtures for an interior room- It is a chandelier with 8 downlights- What is the best way to represent this? Do I use spot, point light or directional light and typically what level would I use?
  6. I am trying to create multi-light fixtures for a room something with 5 arms and have a downlight for each of the 5 pendants. Not sure what type of light to use to get the best effect. Any suggestion for adding light to a light fixtures to get realistic scenery
  7. I often get requests to export my elevation sheet to a dwg format. I do a lot in the annotations on the sheet- thus I am not sure how it translates to the dwg user. Any tips or best practice to achieve this?
  8. okay looks good- Here is the area I need to make one wall. I currently have two walls to make the shape above. Is it possible to join the lower portion the left side of the wall to turn left into another wall? See example
  9. Is it possible to make this shape with my wall?

  11. Can anyone recommend a 3rd party free app that will allow me to take a rendered view of a house from VW and make it a bit better looking?
  12. I was hoping others might have suggestions on how to keep track of details. When it gets busy, keeping track of where details are is sometimes hard. Typically I have to go back to previous projects and pull details and then change accordingly in the new project. This is often difficult because I often forget where a particular detail might be. Our firm works with multiple people and it would be great to be able to search for detail categorized, say by foundation, eaves, roof, wall, door, windows, etc. Any suggestion on what works for other would greatly be appreciated.
