Building Container Home Layouts


Recommended Posts

I am trialing this software to use for my business in building Container Homes. I want to render images of completed Container Home builds and create architectural design, floor plans etc. I have not found a way to insert openings, windows, doors etc into the 40ft container symbol. I have searched a little and someone said that that is not possible to cut openings in a symbol but I need to recreate corrugated walls etc manually with the poly shape. Is this correct or is there a faster way to insert the windows etc without needing to recreate the Container?
Many Thanks,
Ben

I would use the wall tool and use a texture for the rendering.

In the attached images,  the wall on the left uses AEC/Wall projections to create the corrugated effect the wall on the right is a plain wall.   I sent both walls out to a render program and applied a applied a metal panel texture to the wall on the right.   I thing using a texture would be much easier to accomplish what you want.
