When you modify a design (whose elevation or section is already saved on another layer) do you need to start all over and create a completely new elevation? No, it isn’t necessary. Copy the new elevation or section generated to an empty layer and check it against the previous layer. You can update the differences…
DetailsIn terms of working with layers and assigning different elements to a layer – ie separate layer for walls, beams, roof slabs, ceilings (assuming a single level building) What do you suggest you set at the reference height for each layer I’ve been primarily working with walls at level (0000) wall height is say 2900 I…
DetailsWhen I open my drawing, my previous layer 10 has moved to layer 9, and so on. Very strange. Maybe you executed the command Layer->Change Layer order? You can solve the problem by using this command again, following the steps below: Let’s suppose that you want the current Layer #9 on Layer #11 and vice-versa. Go…
DetailsIs it possible to paste a 3D perspective onto a photo of landscape, in order to show the project’s integration into its environment? There are several interesting dxf and dwg models that you can import in Domus.Cad. To superimpose a Domus.Cad rendering onto a photo in Domus.Cad follow the steps below: Import the photo in Domus.Cad…
DetailsHow to insert a rendering in a photo? The first step towards inserting a rendering in a picture is to place the Domus.Cad camera in the same position as the real life camera. Place the observed point in Domus.Cad on the point corresponding to the center of the photo. Set the camera angle parameter the same…
DetailsHow can I create people, animals, etc. in a 3D view ? You can either create 3D models (quite complicated), import a 3D model in DWG, DXF and 3DS formats or insert the images people or animals into the 3D view. For example: create a 3D view and place it on a free layer import…
DetailsWhy does a light inserted in one room illuminate the adjacent rooms as well? Shadows are not an available option for Interactive rendering, therefore the elements themselves (such as walls and floor slabs) are merely shaded according to their relationship to the light source and do not have the ability to cast shadows on other…
DetailsPlease explain how to illuminate the interior of a building. I would like moderate lighting with one illuminated wall, opposite a wall in shadow. Are you using Interactive renderer or Ray Shade? The two renderers work differently. The Interactive renderer doesn’t support cast shadows. This means that the light “penetrates” inside the objects and the…
DetailsHow can I create shadow for objects in 2D or 3D? In DomusCad, cast shadows can only be created using RayShade in 3D. For 2D drawings, use the traditional method of indicating shadows by a hatched or colored polygon. Or try this interesting method : create a 3D view with RayShade, complete with cast shadows.…
DetailsThe rooms of my building, which have no external lighting, are completely dark. Is there any way of defining natural lighting for the whole interior, valid all through the evolution of the 3D version? Or must I define the light source as I go? Natural lighting is really all about shadows – more light means…
