I defined two scenes via the Enscape Scene button as you suggested with the desired layers (now called "Tags" in SKP2020) enabled/disabled. Is it intentional that when I use Sketchup to switch the scene the geometry changes are displayed in Enscape, yet when I use the Views Tab in the Enscape window the geometry does not change?
Here's what I mean: https://i.imgur.com/JUK9icN.mp4
I would've loved for Enscape to finally be able to display different variants/alternatives in a standalone .exe yet this looks like we're not there yet.Can You please elaborate, Demian Gutberlet?

mattendler , since it is now possible to have different geometry per view, which was not possible before...
Demian Gutberlet Can you please elaborate on that point? When has this been implemented and how do I access it in SKP2020?
Can You also make SKP 2020 available for the forum profile section?

Really nice, good work!

Looks great, goob job - that is one massive scene!

Enscape 18.2.3
Coming 20never.

mattendler , since it is now possible to have different geometry per view, which was not possible before, the batch rendering function needs to renew every view before exporting to make sure everything is included, or not included for that matter. How long does it take you to export 5 views via the batch rendering functionality?
When has this been implemented? We've been waiting for this feature for what feels like forever. Is this in the new preview?

Did you make this model or is this a 3rd party model?

I was working on a bathroom the other day and the reference photo I was using showed a roof outside the window. I tried just using a decent texture but it was cutting the mustard.
Ended up drawing a triangle on the end of the roof where the texture lines were, push pulling that across the roof and move copying to the rest of the lines after re applying the text it gives enough geometry to convince the eye but doesn't require the work. You could take it a step further and cut between the tiles but this gets you 80 percent there.
For other styles of roof I would try and approach it the same way, model just enough geometry to give the illusion of it being there haha.
That's a perfectly sensible approach - keeping the balance of realism vs. responsiveness is definitely crucial. Not every last bit of trim needs to be perfectly realistic, it just needs to be realistic enough to be believable overall.

If you want maximum fidelity then going for a full geometry roof is the only way to go - it's also what we do. You could try setting up something with Skatter and use proxies to keep the model nice and light, you still might run into individual component scaling issues depending on the size of the roof plus the edges will need some additional work anyway - but it might be a starting point. There are also a bunch of dynamic roof tile components on the 3DWH but they are really finicky to work with so we ditched that approach.
In the end we went with InstantRoof by ValiArchitects. It's easy to use and works just great for us.
Dialing in this roof took 20-30sec at most. Sure, there still was some more work involved (Sketchup geometry cleanup, gutters, rounding the rafters and beams with Fredo RoundCorner etc.) but this plugin gives you a pretty good baseline to start from. It's not perfect though - the verge tiles are just standard tiles flipped 90° instead of a designated verge tile but oh well - for us it's still more than good enough for the speed saving it provides and the cost..

maybe you are ok with spending full price on a basic program or paying the development of platforms that you will never use. Not me. I actually hate it.
Then why are you still here and throwing hissy fits? Your behavior is unprofessional at best and might let quite a bunch of people question your credibility and ability to adequately convey knowledge to a younger generation.

Wow, all that salt and entitlement.

Good job! Not sure though if I'd want that Eames Lounge chair somewhere near a kitchen with all that grease and dust flying about.

Prima! I love these views up the stairs
Thanks!
So here's what i came up with for Sketchup glass. It's not as intuitive to the manufacturers data, but it will get you close I think. The problem is the light that passes through the glass isn't changed, so exterior shots it looks great, but from the interior the light is too bright if set to a lower light transmission. But hey you can't have everything
Wow, that’s great, thanks for sharing! Will give this a shot very soon!

Even though we're running SKP, have our own curated prop library outside of Enscape and therefore don't need any of this:
Thanks for contributing and sharing this - I'm rather sure people will find this extremely useful!

If this is Revit I've discovered a way to get the glass color and light transmission to match Manufactures date. See attached image
It´s SketchUp, but thank you nonetheless!
I like it! If I may give you a little tip: Your glass seems to have absolute *zero* tint. In reality however, most window glass has a slight dark-green tint to it. This will make your windows / facade look even better!
Thank you!

Recently finished this project. Airy and open space, some massive openings with high end low profile window systems and a bunch of skylights for even more light.
Really like how the renders turned out.
-
Only really nitpicky thing I found is the perspective on the floorplan fonts of "Edibles & Pastries", "Puck bar" and "The hot box" looks off.
Other than that: Absolutely stellar job. Your work might be up there with if not the benchmark for what can be done with Enscape.
