  3. Hi guys i am looking for a way to use decora switches and outlets in my plans instead of the basic ones included. I only use decora outlets on my actual jobs. It would be nice to reflect that in my 3D drawing i have searched high and low i found something from Leviton but it is the cover for the switch or outlet i imported this to the plan and it only shows it on the floor there is always a conflict when I try to put it in the backsplash here is a picture of a decora outlet just an fyi thx for the feedback D

  6. Zachary i have often thought about sketch up but now with the pbr I think I will be satisfied for the time being I know That you can create beautiful things in sketchup But home designer pro 2020 has opened up new possibilities big time D

JON PER YOUR LINK I NEED 431 FC 48272 LUMENS I THINK THAT YOU ARE CORRECT THAT I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH LIGHTS BECAUSE I HAVE 8 AT 1200 EACH = 9600 LUMENS I TYPICALLY USE 8 RECESSED LIGHTS IN A KITCHEN AND UNDER CABINET LIGHTING - IN THE PHYSICAL SPACE - I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TOADD UNDERCABINET LIGHTING IN HOME DESIGNER PRO THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT THE FILE.
  9. JON THANKS.... I HAVE ATTACHED A LINK VIA GOOGLE DRIVE FOR THE FILE... IT IS MUCH TOO LARGE TO SEND - EVEN THE ZIP FILE IS 18MB - IT STARTS LAGGING WHEN I TRY AND ATTACH. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADD UNDER CABINET LIGHTING IN THE HOME DESIGNER PRO - I SEARCHED FOR THIS YESTERDAY TO NO AVAIL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO CHANGE THE FOOT CANDLES I ADDED 8 - 6 INCH LIGHTS AT 1200 LUMENS EACH TO TRY AND PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHTING IN THE VIEW IN KITCHEN THANKS FOR LOOKING AT THIS FILE - I ZIPPED IT AND UPLOADED IT TO GOOGLE DRIVE GOOGLE DRIVE - ZIP FILE OF HOME DESIGNER PRO FILE
  10. OK - HERE IS MY FIRST PBR RENDER AND SOMETHING IS NOT QUITE RIGHT TAKE A LOOK AT MY FILES AND TELL ME IF THIS IS THE BEST THAT I CAN HAVE WITHOUT A NATURAL SUNLIGHT COMING INTO THIS CONDO THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK I USED ALL OF THE TECHNIQUES THAT WERE SHARED IN FORUM FOR THE PBR AND THIS IS THE BEST THAT HAPPENS THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK D- I HAVE HOME DESIGNER 2020 NVIDIA GRAPHICS I7 PROCESSOR WINDOWS 10
  11. I do a lot of condos where the kitchen does not have much natural light if any.. The PBR is definitely something that has a learning curve as I am finding out.. Thanks for sharing your beautiful designs.
  12. OMG.. I just upgraded to 2020. I absolutely love it.. It has an entirely different look and feel. I know that it is not Chief Architect X11 - But it is really remarkably better..in how it renders and the overall feel of the cameras. I really love it... One day, I will justify upgrading to the full Chief Architect... but for now, I am really happy with the improvements they have made to Home Designer Pro. Thanks again everyone for sharing your wonderful words on PBR.. if you would not have done this, I do not think that I would have thought about the upgrade as closely...
  13. Zachary Your pics look great... I am in awe of the design... Question.. Why does the kitchen look so dark. It is amazing what you have done. It just looks dark. I am curious is this what you were going for? Or does the new program not have more lights in a kitchen? I plan on upgrading to the new 2020 soon. Thanks for sharing these amazing renders and designs.
  14. Thank you for posting this... It is very helpful..
  15. THANKS ERIC HERE IS A VECTOR VIEW I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY PULLING IT BACK THERE IS AN EMPTY SPACE IN THE CORNER TIP OF THE CORNER CABINET THANKS FOR THE ADVICE D-
  16. Hi Guys I am having difficulty with creating a soffit with a corner cabinet in kitchen I have taken a snap shop of my dilemma I am sure that once I click send.. It will come to me.. so I am putting it out here to see if there are any shortcuts to this.. I am still using Home Designer Pro 2019 Windows 10 Nvidia Graphics Thanks for any pointers D-
  17. Thanks for the feedback Keith.. I think it is a no brainer for $99 - The PBR is something that I am most excited about. I am glad that you like the new version D-
  18. Hi Everyone I see that there is a new version of Home Designer Pro 2020 I would like to know your thoughts on this if you have upgraded from a prior version of Home Designer Pro. I am using Home Designer Pro 2019 The Physical Based Rendering technique is what interests me the most.. Just curious if it is worth the $495 again for me for the new version. Thanks for your feedback on the Home Designer Pro 2020 I have a Windows PC - Invidia Graphics Card - Windows 10
  19. Hi all, I need to know what resolution size should an image be if importing the image into the home designer pro file? I have no issues with the import.. just the quality of the image, after the import and when the file is printed... Thanks for any advice on this if you have been successful at this. Thanks D- I am using Home Designer Pro 2019

  22. Hi everyone, I have created a drop in bath tub and want to create a frameless shower door I followed the tutorial on creating the drop in tub and now have difficulty getting a frameless shower door to be placed on the deck that was built to house the drop in tub. Any help would be most appreciated Note: I tried using a half wall and it would not work.. I tried using a full wall and it did not work I need the glass door to sit on top of the surround Thanks D-
  23. I FOUND OUT HOW TO CHANGE THE DIMENSIONS ARROWS... IT TOOK AWHILE.. I STUMBLED ACROSS A VIDEO THAT JUST HAPPENED TO CHANGE THIS FEATURE YOU CAN PLEASE MARK THIS AS CLOSED THANKS D-
  24. thanks for the responses... I have marked up the first diagram that I sent and put my questions on it... basically, I want to know how to make this drawing.. I have tried and my dimensions look nothing like this one.. Joann I have followed the link you sent … before I sent the first question... something is missing in my program.. I can't make my elevation dimensions look like the one in the demo.. I know that it must be something that I need to turn on... but I do not know what it is.. Thanks for any advice.. D-
