Modeling a home – Inside/Outside versions?

maybe you need a computer with more firepower:) I did and don’t regret it.

I think it can be done its just very tedious work and you have to adjust it down to the fraction of an inch. and as for your last comment i don’t quite agree i (soon after i started) was kinda upset with the software to as i to had multiple problems with it.. I sent files to cadsoft because they just crashed my system, I did a gotomeeting with Nicholas Cudmore concerning a project i was working on that crashed my system every time i tried to do a render or VR. Nicholas worked on it and got it to the point where i could at least finish the project(and a thanks to Nick for it i really appreciated it.). nevertheless i was disgusted with the software and decided to look for something else. (cause the roofs didn’t want to work, the terrain was a problem and a couple other things) So this is how it went: 1 some of them were that complicated you would have had to have a college education just to figure out how to find the correct tools you wanted to use (as a bed for example) 2 Most of them were connected to online power house some where and they restricted you to a couple renders a month (think 15) 3 And most of them were very expensive.
So back to Cadsoft and then i tried really hard. i did multiple houses that were just play, for the practice was what i needed and i found out most of my problems with the software went away, and i was the one that had been doing it wrong in the first place. I’m not saying this to stomp on your toes I’m just saying Please don’t give up on it the more new mansions you do the better you’ll get. I used to to not like Envisioneer but now i do.
I’m working on my first million dollar house in 3D and it has some crazy roofs so maybe i better watch myself because i might be pulling out hair soon to 🙂

SDS, Wrote, Modeling the stairs for an interior shot but there is a large section of exterior wall that is visible directly above the stairs that I cannot modify or the outside renders will be off.
SDS, are you sure your interior stairs are in the right place. Or do you mean that you have the exterior surface lowered to cover floor system and you can see out through the wall??

SDS,
You didn’t mention lighting and if you don’t have lighting, no it won’t show. Even though i think Jack’s right and it’s your glass.

Could you please put a bld. file on here with one of these projects and i will take time either on a Saturday or a evening to try and fix your problem. I would just like to see if i can help you out.
