LOL Now I do not feel so bad. And yep, I have to disable my ceiling in alot of cases for the lower walls I have for staircases, and hip walls, and such. Hip walls are called because they are at hip height or so, and just used to divide an open concept area, like a living room/ Kitchen combo with no walls. I take my plans and export them to OBJ and then into blender, and then into Autodesk AutoCad,so getting acurate walls are a must or I have to resize them all in Cad.

Here is a bath room that is basically done. I'm having issues with the way my tiles are lining up, but that'll be fixed later. My textures are also going to the white side, but I think that is the effect of the lights?

I think I'm finally getting better at the lights. I tried putting some plants into the render, but it wouldn't finish. I'm guessing that the plant textures might be the reason?

Umm... btw.. where is the edit button? I meant to add that I downloaded both the lights and renderer plug-ins. I'm used to an Infovision board, so I feel kinda two left footed right now. Or maybe as a newbie, I am not allowed to edit? :D

Ah I was going to suggest using a box from the furniture list, for your Hip walls, then you could use ceilings for your normal height walls, but since you are going through the export / import process, it might make it more awkward mixing walls and furniture. you still won't have any centre ceiling lights, but how about using a flattered box/es to make your ceiling?

Should the tiles be appearing stretched, or is that what you mean by the issues you are experiencing?.

As for your texture going to the white side (why can I hear Darth Vader when I read this?) it has to be better than the 'dark side!' reaches for Light saber...

Unless the plant textures were very large, then not necessarily, there is also an issue (with fix available in next render release) where if an object contains illegal values, then the render won't complete. As a test you could try adjusting just the plants textures to a maximum of 512x512 in a paint/image editing software. Or try other plant/s.

What would you like to edit?

For furniture: Double click (or right click) the furniture in the plan view or furniture list to Modify (and select Modify)
Textures on walls: Select the wall and double click [i[(or right click, choose Modify) Click on the Texture, which opens another window, find your texture again (A step I would like to see removed, if editing the same texture) and choose Modify.

PS: The left click and right click information provided, is while using Sweet Home on Windows, I would imagine a similar mode of operation is available while using Mac OS X (if using a two button mouse) or Linux.

Hope this helps!

Hehe.. I was once compared to Leia's adopted mother Breha Organa. Friends said I was like a mini rebellion all by myself, and would bite the ankles of the Emperor on my way pass him to the firing squad... If that is light or dak... I call it a shade of grey...

But anyway, I was meaning that my furniture was turning white. I'm not sure if it is losing it's texture, or if the renderer thinks the furniture is shiny and is putting a gloss? I'm not sure how to find out.

lol... I was talking about here on this forum. I was looking for an edit button for my post. I see the reply and quote buttons, but no edit.
