I have mirrored whole houses for many years, 100's of times. Old files always mirrored as expected, but something changed at some point and labels changed their behavior. My guess is that it started with the introduction of associated labels, even if it is turned off. But, p...

The screen shot is from 2 different files. Both created in with different AC versions (more than likely). I want 300 pixels, which some files have, but some have 72. In both cases the rendering size is the same and the pixel section is greyed out. When I load each in Pixelma...

Is there a way to easily transfer colors between the basic rendering settings and the Cinerender engine? The only way I know I know is to open the color wheel, under basic, write down the RGB numbers, open the color under Cinerender and enter them. I am basically using thing...

Anyone else noticed this after updating to Sequoia??? This sucks big time for me. I have/had project previews set for hundreds of files that I routinely open. This is important for my work flow. I am on AC26, so I can't expect Graphisoft to fix it, if that is needed. I have ...

I have an object from 25 years ago I use all the time. It works fine as long as you are less than 8' high. I don't know if I can attach it, so if it is not here PM me and I'll send it.

It works off any jpg file. I have taken interior photos that looked bad and made them look really nice... with no effort.

This has been an important find for me. I am a bit unusual in that I have had a web site since the 90's selling "stock" plans. I am not focusing on high end, but the opposite actually... infill lots and small plans. Often for the affordable market. For years I used the vecto...

I had auto system updates turned off, and thought I was updating Sequoia.. but now I have Tahoe. I do use Cinerender a lot, so I am worried. I am on AC26. I opened a project, that had a rendering set up, and it generated fine. I have not messed with any settings however. Are...
