Very nice! How did you model and texture, was it all done in Unreal?

Lot of good architecture schools in Chicago, post job offers on the schools' websites or with flyers in their commons. University of Illinois at Chicago Illinois Institute of Technology University of Chicago

I could sell you the AutoCAD file for this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kzhz402yvflvws1/Kit%20of%20Parts%20Model.pdf?dl=0

I believe arch viz is going to become even more of a niche market. We architects need you visualizers less and less because of software like Sketchup. Often times all we need is to spin around a crappy 3D model to show our client and they get the idea. We can also do decent 3D renderings straight out of Sketchup using a plugin or even in 3dsMax. A lot of architecture students coming out of school have the ability to produce pretty high quality renderings and they will get hired at a firm to do regular architecture work and also do some renderings on the side. The Arch Viz industry will never go away, just like someone mentioned how people taking photographs will never go away. The high end architecture companies and developers will still need you but you all better up your game. This is my opinion. Much love.

As Adam said, it's a scale issue related to the size of your drawing and the camera. You can try scaling up or down the model (usually up works), or try messing with the Field of View of the camera (Camera -> Field of View). There might be some geometry very far away in the model that is causing this. Try doing a zoom-all and see if that's the case. I personally find this very annoying but it only happens to me when I'm working on a very large model and zooming in to a very tiny detail inside of it.

Just separate them into different groups, layers won't help you here.

An email is legally binding if both parties explicitly state their terms of the exchange of services. A conversation also is, but that is harder to prove in court. http://www.allbusiness.com/legal/contracts-agreements/2378-1.html

If they are following all the rules in order to compete, which I'm guessing is they attend an American school and they are within a grade range or age range, then I don't see the problem with them competing and kicking ass. Good job to them. The American school system can learn a lot of things from other countries when it comes to education. Same with the marathons, if they are observing all the rules then more power to them to kick some ass. When the Kenyans host a food eating contest then we can send a couple of our big boys over there to show them how it's done. Oh wait, the Japanese are better at that... All languages have some quirk to them, it just depends what you grow up learning. The French language has a lot of rules and if you follow them you'll be alright. The English language also has some rules but more often then not you have to break them which is really difficult for a foreigner to understand. See here for some examples: https://web.cn.edu/kwheeler/English_hard_2learn.html

Alternatively, you can try to import the .skp into 3dsMax if you have a recent enough version of Max if you haven't tried that already.

Depends on your budget and what the employees are familiar with so they don't have to be trained. Do you want to create construction documents or just draw it? Do you want 3D capabilities? Renderings? For construction documents, the industry standards are AutoCAD and Revit. I don't have experience with Archicad but I think it's similar to AutoCAD in its output. Don't know what you would use Vectorworks or Rhino for in a residential project. If you want a computer model, look into Sketchup.

A lot of major cities have drop off centers for things like food and clothing. Try and find out where there is one near you.

That makes sense, for some reason i was under the impression that HDMI and S-Video both had comparable signals even though HDMI is newer technology. I will look into what you said, we definitely don't want to do a projector here, but we do have one in another room that we need to upgrade as well.

I'm looking to upgrade our television in our conference room and was wondering if you guys had any ideas or experience with this. The TV we currently have is outdated and the images are often washed out. We mostly use the display when hooked up to a laptop (S-video) for presentation with clients and meetings with consultants. The problem is the colors on the TV don't match what we see on our computers, even after spending countless amounts of time messing with the picture settings. Maybe there is an alternative to a television that I don't know about, like a glorified monitor or display... Needs to be wall mounted, and about 38"x61" which equals to about a 70" TV. We also need cad drawings and black and white contrast to be top notch. Any help would be appreciated, I tried searching for this stuff on my own, but failed at finding the right words to search for in search engines.

Well I found your problem, it's in the AutoCAD file. Do a "zoom all" in AutoCAD by either double clicking the middle mouse button or type in ZOOM, and ALL. There are artifacts very distant from the actual floor plan you want to import. Sketchup was actually importing the file fine, and the two little blocks you see were actually your floor plan and these artifacts I speak of. I didn't spend too much time on it but it looks like you have both floors in there and they are located thousands of feet apart in the file. This is bad drafting! You need to clean up the file before you import into Sketchup. I hope that helps. Good luck!

It's been a couple months, but regarding that second floor window; sometimes a wall dies into a mullion in a window. This is probably what is happening here.
