timeless I assume you question is for me, Everything is modelled and rendered in SU/Enscape (obviously)
I then use Topaz GigaPixel to double the pano’s res from the rendered 4k x 8k to 8k x16k
The tour is made with 3DVista, it essentially makes a website that you then upload to a web server. I’ve done over 40 of them so far.
Thank you very much Paul for your insights !
Paul Russam Thank you for the answer.
Your work is very precise and clean. Congrats.
I did some tests with your tips, but unfortunately without luck.
I think however that a professional software must produce good results without the necessity of alchemic solutions like: "point the view in any dark area and then cross your fingers"...
What of software do you use to have these tours so clean and perfect?
I think on the App graph from Design down to Bureaucracy looks like this :
Vectorworks -> Archicad -> Revit
(where each has its pros and cons)
I think this is a great way to summarize ;p
Check out Placemaker.
Forgot that one ! Thanks !!
Anyone with a good understanding regarding the differences between ArchiCad <> Revit ?
Have been using Archicad since start of 1990's on small single houses, luxury mansions, but mainly on large mixed residential/commercial projects, some very complex in levels.
The great thing is you do not need any other software for the CAD/BIM side of things - from concept to construction it is so quick and easy and powerful.
Enscape adds some icing to the cake.
Hi JasonLawford , Any idea why ArchiCAD would be better than VW or REVIT ? In my opinion VW isn't a truly BIM application. It's a 2D app adjusted to 3D. Only REVIT could be taken into the scope.
I'm sorry to hear that timeless , right away, have you been making use of our latest release 3.3? This version should also support the Quest 2 with fewer compatibility issues. If so, please let me know and also kindly provide me with a Feedback report and I'll look into this matter as well.
Demian Gutberlet done - crossing my fingers for a quick fix 🤞
Closet Assets
Shoes, boots, shirts, hanging clothes, folded clothes, dresses, suits, coats, and bags.
Thanks in advance!
Fyi, I already submitted this as an idea in the Portal.

The one thing drives me nuts about Archicad is the lack of multiple viewports support. You pretty much just have 1 viewport at a time.
How are you guys dealing with that?
In Revit you can have a plan view opened alongside a 3D view so you get to see what you are modeling in real time.
No support for multiple viewports seems a dealbreaker for me.
archicad is an all-in-one solution so you should learn how to sketch, how to detail and how to visualise your concepts inside ArchiCAD.
Even for layouting it is capable - I did some giftcards in the past with it. at the moment we consider to cancel our Adobe Creative Suite.
Have a look at the Affinity Suite
I don't get the headset to function anymore;
Not with the official (Link Cable) nor the Air Link (same wireless network);
Device has the latest update as SU has;
In the virtual space i see sketchup loading... for minutes. Nothing changes.
Any tips to get this back running up?
SITE CONTEXT a feature that I welcome to mature even further ;
I miss the feature, once selected your erea of interest, being able to import it into SU and adjust the volumes;
There is a feature present to replace and rotate the map;
I seems a very miss-and-trail time consuming thing;
Z axe isn't aligned with the site context of your interest (where the person stands)
I like that it doesn't mixes up your XY axes like SU Geo-Laocation does.
I would say let's give it some credits, time and love and this will be a killer feature

timeless , you used the report function to reply, but this isn't visible here - I think you want to use the quote function instead.
No biggie!
OOPS - Sorry for that Demian Gutberlet
UPDATE the grass grows as expected in v3.3, released earlier today
>>> 3.3 SUPPORTS SU'22 <<<
Can you share the material settings with me? Judging from just the image it is a bit hard to see what the problem really is even. Is it the color, the length, can you elaborate on that briefly what's missing to you? Depending on the time of day, the grass being that bright should also be normal.
Hi Damien,
Thanks for your ongoing support.
USING the 330-P7
See attach' pls. Some parts don't even have grass on the surface.
There seems a bug in the the 330-p7 version... Hope this helps?
Since the last version(s) I don't even have grass for a normal sized building lot?!
That was a thing you had in case of a football field.
Metrics are set correct to mm and scale of model is according to metrics.
Just to make sure, have you made use of Scatter or just tried to use our Grass itself in this particular scene? If it's the latter, can you also send me a screenshot of the grass material settings, please?
I've made use of the native E3D grass.
Check out the existing threads linked by Tearch above - Since everyone's taste differs from person to person, could you perhaps also go into a bit more detail as to why the current grass we provide isn't actually satisfactory? Then I can forward that feedback and discuss it with product management too.
Also, since you are using SketchUp, you may also want to make use of Scatter in combination with the provided Grass-Material we offer specifically for that plugin. Keep in mind that this is the more graphics-intensive solution (also why it offers more complex results), especially compared to the grass we provide, which is developed in a way to offer a good appearance while still running on Low-Medium machines too with acceptable performance.
Well my low machine NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti - 11Gb seems to have trouble to render sa lawn surface for the first time 🤔
SU metrics are good 'mm'
Any suggestion to have this back OK?
Display Moregoncalo.t3 , thanks a lot for your inquiry - Natively it isn't currently possible to add a grid like you can through the video editor, but as a workaround, you may be importing a grid as a watermark through the "Enscape Window Settings" - Which can look like this for example:
This may probably not be a grid you'd want to use yourself, but I've acquired a random one from here just for showcase.
Alongside, please also forward your feature request to PM directly through our portal. Much appreciated!
Demian Gutberlet I use a slightly different workflow;
MY WORKFLOW;
SU - watermark: raster 1/3rd / Golden / Silver/... or other ratio.
E3D - watermark: company branding/logo
By doing this. You will have always the grid aid to make interesting compositions. Non visible on your renders.
And the benefit of having your company branding instantly on all your renders.
Demian Gutberlet up and running ED3 into SU'22 - thank you so much !
