Re: Negative Elevation for Furniture Juggernaut, thanks for your feedback. I'm not sure how much simpler I can say it. Perhaps the problem comes in that I have been constructing buildings from engineered 2 dimensional plans for decades. I am attempting to produce plans for a large multi-room, multi level building for a friend that he can use for construction. I need 2d plans with measurements. The 3d rendered perspectives are an added bonus. It is a simple slab on ground construction method used in the tropics. - concrete slab on the ground, extending 150mm above ground (forms verandahs and breezeways) - concrete slab on top of the aforementioned slab, extending a further 100mm (250mm above ground in total, forms ground floor internal floor height) Look at it this way, it is a stepped concrete slab going from 150mm above ground to 250mm above ground, and all part of the same level from a construction perspective. Therefore I need to show it on the same 2d floor plan with measurements. I then have to do the same thing on the second story. I spent most of the day grouping all the furniture and raising it by 250mm then increasing wall heights by 250mm so that I could just use boxes to achieve the effect. I.E. box with elevation 0 and height 150mm for base slab and second box (actually custom furniture not a box) elevation 150 and height 100 for internal floors. Unfortunately that doesn't really work very well either. If I put such a box under a wall (through actually) it becomes nearly impossible to see the wall in the 2d floor plan. Thanks again for your help guys. I'll keep tinkering with it but I now suspect that I will just need to have a couple different versions, one for 2d printed floor plans and one for 3d perspectives. |
