I think of it like pieces of cardboard cut out freehand, in the old days.<BR /> So don't worry about it.<BR /> <BR /> A good composition is compelling regardless of the model completeness.<BR /> <BR /> You should download the student version of Artlantis Studio to get better renderings. Artlantis has automatic sky.<BR /> <BR /> Otherwise, use a photo background from the Archicad library.<BR /> <BR /> To add light color to the sun, study the sun dialog accessed through the Perspective Setting dialog or the Camera dialog.<BR /> <BR /> To make glass clearer, study the material settings for glass and find out.
