Skylights

[Archon]

I bought HD Suite 6.0 and I am really sorry I spent $100 on this program when it does stuff like this.

Look at these skylights. Notice anything wrong?

The rendering part of this program has a lot of issues.

I managed to "mount" a skylight in the kitchen just fine. I do have several interior rooms and a stairwell that I would like to illuminate with "light pipes" or "solar tubes". Some suggestions? Is there something in the CA library that could work in HD Pro 7?

Thanks for a great, confidence building, application.

Thanks - I found several solatude references on ChiefTalk including a method to diy. I'll see if I can work something.

It seems best to start a new thread for a question like this, which does not relate to the original year and a half old post.

You would be better posting a link to the post with the download rather than posting the symbol..

I have them every now and then

I'm new so please forgive my ignorance. How & where do I add .alb files? I'd like to try the solatube in this thread. I'm using Suite 7.09. I've figured out how to add materials by searching this forum and I've learned a lot from here so far, but I can't find any .alb file specific topics.

We all have been having a running conversation regarding Material Libraries because several of us have download ALB files from ChiefTalk.

They are zip files and you need to redirect the download to your HD programs folder "Libraries", once extracted the contents of the ALB files mostly download to the appropriate category folders, sometimes some stuff ends up in a wierd location, such as in a category that does not seem to be connecting the dots, but they are easy to move around.

Just type "Material Libraries" into the search box on this page and you will find 239 postings about the subject.
