Hello all, I am a residential designer who branched out on my own less than a year ago. The business is busy, so much so we had to shut our doors to new work only a month in, and have been slammed ever since, and are measuring a new project on Thursday. The problem is our business model is unsustainable, while my family's need for food will sustain itself quite well. I need to get advice about our rendering process, because right now we are in a place we will never be again, but will always wish we could go back to. After we make these decisions, enormous amounts of training will begin, along with expensive software and hardware purchases. After that point, the equation changes and whatever system we are using is overvalued simply because of the equity it contains. We do a variety of things, but our visualization services are our cornerstone, and simply must be vastly improved. Our issue comes in the tedious and far too slow process for creating and changing 3D furniture and casework objects, and the fact that a respectable library of 3d plants is not available. Garish cartoon simulacrums are the best I've seen. Add this to the fact that our renders should be higher resolution, and we have a problem. We will post a specific question in the proper forum. Thank you

Hi, I'm seeking a laptop to get me through some small scale architectural design jobs over the next few months, primary uses will be: AutoCAD Photoshop Rhino 3ds Max (mid range 3D rendering in vray) Standard office/accessories etc I'm on a budget and have a temporary office so this is a stopgap until I move and can have a serious home desktop. I have roughly 800.00 GBP, I know I can't get anything great for that price so I just need something relatively good. Any help/advice would be much appreciated, it seemed in that price range that Samsung offered decent spec in their RC and RF range, but then I see a lot of more serious people using Asus/MSI etc. Thanks for your time!

Hello everyone, My name is Manan, I am a student of The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Interior Designing program. For one of my class..I need help to find out the answers of few questions from AutoCAD Professional. The questions are: 1. When do you use CAD in the production process (e.g. preliminary design, design development, etc.) 2. What types of standardization do you use? 3. What are the advantages or disadvantages that CAD brings to your practice? 4. Can AutoCAD be used as effectively for designing as it is used for reading construction documents? 5. Do you use Modelspace and Paperspace?, and what are the advantages of doing this? Please, tell me about the problems and disadvantages of using them in professional life. Other than these, I want to know that, as a student what are the tips to be successful AutoCAD professional? Thanks Manan
