Ive though of that but couldnt figure it out, i can do in max, but not vray in sketchup. Im assuming that is within the vray setting to hide, or ingnore object from scene, view, camera. Ill look again. Found it, its under a material setting, Raytrace Properties, only in Secondary. Not sure that the "right" way todo it but its the effect.

Short answer is both. Im trying to get similar lighting too these. https://3dplans.com/products/3d-floor-plans/

Thanks Nicolia, If I change to a sun HDRI then I get sun shadow, which I dont want. Is there away to avoid that? I've tried an overcast day one before and just bumpout the values, maybe i can try that again?

I'm looking on advice for Lighting - 3D Floorplan Renderings. Im modelling in Sketchup and rendering with the Vray 3.6. The current attached example is lite with a Dome Light with the HDRI shown. Ive bumped up the intensity to about 40 with a Exposure Value of 14. I've tried a bunch of other lighting ideas, but just looking for other suggestion. Would love to get the effect of sun light though the windows, but that has been difficult too achieve with good results. Any suggestion how i can improve, or try? Thanks

So I can view without download, Ill just make a DWF inlue or PDF, but now I have no option to print?

Ha, we can agree to disagree with your first statement, because I need you help please. My Set Access Level screen doesnt look like yours, any idea why that would be. View document is exactly what I'm looking for, but I dont have that option. Should I try a different PDF maybe? UPDATE: The "view option" doesn't show for PDF and JPG, but it does for DWF. Is that what you've seen?

Thanks for the replies above, but I don't believe that either of those options restrict downloading the orgional files. I'm looking into LockLizard, anyone used before? Nevermind, LockLizard is $$$$$$

Does anyone know of a web site where we can upload constrcution documents for the sole purpose of only for the recepiant to view and print from? Meaning I send client A a link where he/she can view the docuement and print if needed, but can not save this file to his harddrive or send to client B? We are asked more and more to send PDF for the final CD and there ending up EVERYWHERE. And not sure how to wheel this back in control. Thanks for feed back

Why should I upgrade from MaxDesign09 to MaxDesign12? I've read though the features and don't see anything to justify the price tag at this point, what might I be missing?

This link seem to be missing, can one re post if they have?

Thanks John, Ill do that.

Im assuming this is a no? From what I've seen thus far, Revit seem to be way over kill of an application to use for strictly for Residential Design thur CD

In school I learn with R12 which I believe was DOS, then my first internship was working with R11 and a digitizer, ah fun times.

Apple IIc - Hands down best PC i've ever used! Of course my memory is a little sketchy, I was only 7, but I don't recall ever have to ctrl-atl-delete once. http://oldcomputers.net/appleiic.html

Anyone here using Revit for residential design. And are you using from concept thru CO?
