I have to try LIDAR, new device that has the tech, but how does it deal with 'stuff' in rooms?

I guess it would depend on the final task. I see the Room Plan as a place to start. Then it would depend on the build and how close I needed the survey. If I needed a tight fit, I would measure everything. If I was adding a piece to a location, close enough.

I've used apps for room plans. they're OK, close generally. Photos to 3D, for me, is for visualization not detailing.

well that is just insane. it works, but the need for the work around is insane

yes, just change the crops, have one full position as a 'locator' plan and then detals as needed

Create multiple viewports at different scales.

is this possible with @Sam Jones Cable tools?

So, you set the render style in the create VP dialog? To change, on the SL, select the SLVP change the rider style in the OIP?

to be clear, this is a sheet layer viewport?

looks like Ambient Occlusion needs to be on

could you use the curved wall tool and components? It won't quite show the frame, but...

Camera March is my work around. Yes t goes behind the mofel

Camera Match?

I think there are more, but easy enough to make your own.

so, this doesn't make sense. The users are asking for two things; the ability to open and close the palette, and an improvements to all the palettes. We should not have to wait for both to happen at the same time. I am sure we have been asking for the ability to close this palette since it was introduced. Docking would be sweet. We have been asking for increased fonts size in palettes for years, so we got new icons. Looking at Rhino or Blender (not sure which) I find an interactive slider for font size in palettes. To be clear, I open the dialog, move the slider and the palettes react immediately, while in the prefs window, Find what I like and close.

the grass shader adds a huge amount of geometry. An image based texture with displacement mapping will be much more efficient.

I appreciate your advice and will file appropriately.

"features"added are features done. I use this palette often, but always have to move it about.

I had an interesting panel discussion years ago at a Design Summit with several other designers. We all had different methodologies and we all wanted a conversion methods

I use a renderworks texture

there oughta be a way, but I don't think there is. This has been to me and others, a matter of contention for many, many years. I want VWX to know that when I Insert a camera object (for example) it should go into the camera object class. It does not. There is a way, in the Plug In Manager, to edit some PIOs and force classing, but that configuration is lost when there is an application update.

Update sounds better. Servioe Pack sounds like fixing a mistake

Assume you have restarted your computer? Your MPAir has enough RAM and processing power? Have you had 24 open before?

That too

Sam. I was trying to reinforce what you were saying. Thumbs down on these tools
