LindaM Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'm having an issue with my landscape material not showing in full perspective or any 3D views, it's there and reflected on my floor plan view. I'm working on a new '17 MacBook Pro, HD Pro '18. Hoping this is something simple. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Quick answer may be to check to see what the height the material is. If it's the same height as the other terrain, it may not show. Even if you raise it up an 1/8" or so, it could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaM Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'll try this but, it's been showing since I entered it a couple months ago. Thank you. I tried a reboot also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Most new users do not know that there is a "Display Options" dialog for plan view, each camera type and another one for the "Reference Display" tool, seven in all. They all look a like but are completely different in terms of what they control. So having your terrain "on" in plan views does not mean that it is turned "off" in all the camera views. You have to look (open the Layer Display dialog while in a camera view and check to see if the missing object or objects are in fact missing or just not checked "on" in that "Display Options" dialog that controls what is seen and not seen per camera view, plan view and Reference view.

LindaM Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Appears to be on? All of my terrain options are checked also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaM Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Here is a screen shot when I was deciding on front door colors.....it shows all of the items that are now missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 That layer is called "Plants" in all versions of Home Designer software, make sure that named layer is on in Display Options for the camera type you are using. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaM Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 I posted a screen shot of that "above". Plants is checked, is this the area you're speaking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 In this case, then, you are seeing an improper function which is probably rooted in your computer hardware, most likely your video card. A simple, possible fix is to make sure your video card has up to date software drivers or if a desktop computer. it may be running visuals with a cheap, integrated video support built into the Mother Board instead of the more able, separate, stand-alone, dedicated video card (this may be the case without your prior knowledge but is a common problem. If you are using a laptop, its video card may not meet minimum requirements for supporting Home Designer software. Many inexpensive laptops that are fine for minimal browsing and email but not stout enough for graphics-heavy applications like Home Designer and Chief Premier. I am not personally accusing you of anything but rather something that is a common problem and one you might look at. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaM Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 I'm not running on a cheap laptop and the sole purpose of buying this new machine was to run CA. Thank you for your assistance, I'll certainly try anything but certainly hope it's not my Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkClemons Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 It looks like all of your textures and images may be missing, not just the items. Try 3D> Camera View Options and make sure that Textures are enabled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
