/* window is in the foreground. I've recently been using the Marvin Windows software to generate 3D windows that are pretty nice. Nice software, and the best of the window manufacterer's free stuff, for sure. */ I'll have to check that out. Anything from Anderson working? <g> /* choice. This allows you to do free-form, curved walls. You need to smooth some of this stuff in the rendering software… */ So I've noticed. /* appliances, but most of the furniture is not quite suitable for a rendering, if it features the furniture. Some of the couches and chairs are okay if they are just to provide some context and scale in space, and you can soften them some with the material you assign… The 3D beds are a joke… <g> */ I'm sure 3rd party developers will eventually address this stuff, and I understand AA is a CADD-focused product. But in the interim (our interim), it's been a challenge using this stuff for the type of visualization we want. /* As you suggest, rendering really needs some specially purchased or constructed meshes or */ That's where AME has really been helpful. Thanks for feedback, Michael. I do appreciate it. -dave
