"Hi Ben,
You were absolutely right! I took over a computer that was previously used for rendering by someone else. The Accurender Plant Editor was on the desktop and used as the primary plant editor, so I assumed it was the only one. Thank you so…"

"Hi Brittany,
I have two different plant editors. The Accurender plant editor that installed with Accurender Studio and the NXT plant editor that installed with NXT for Autocad. Only the NXT for Autocad version lets you open, modify, and save…"

Groundcover Issues
Hello,I am hoping to get some clarity on how to modify and add groundcover. I have searched everywhere on the forum and online to find how to save a plant as .ArGroundcover, but I cannot find anything. I am using AccuRender Plant Editor and once I finish editing the plant that I want to use as a groundcover, I click "save plant as", but all it allows me to save as is .ArTree. I have a deadline to get this render finished, but I cannot for the life of me figure this out. See More

"Ended up deleting the "can" material surrounding the lights. They're small enough that you don't notice. Here is the final render."
Rich Hart replied to Brittany Watson's discussion Continuous Recessed Lighting Issues
"I see that if I turn the soffit layer off, that those can lights on the right are working. So I assume the soffit is blocking the light.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to try moving the can lights down for some reason.
I can try looking into this…"
Brittany Watson replied to Brittany Watson's discussion Continuous Recessed Lighting Issues
"I apologize, they are the smaller can lights on right soffit side of the arched ceiling, the bigger ones on the opposite side (left) are working correctly. They do work when the light source is pulled out of the can object or out of the soffit, so…"

"Unfortunately, the model was still just too large for my machine. After about 15 minutes I had to turn off the computer so that I could do something else while it was rendering..
Could you give me any idea of where the lights are that don't…"

Rich Hart replied to Brittany Watson's discussion Continuous Recessed Lighting Issues
"Can you send us a model where this is happening, to see if we can duplicate it here?
As small a model as possible would be appreciated.
You can use this link to send it to us:

Continuous Recessed Lighting Issues
Hi I use AutoCAD Architecture and have been having on going problems with a recessed can light block. I have completed 3 renderings now in which I have had to spend days trying to get my recessed lighting to work. Other lights work, and occasionally some of the can recessed lights will show up. I have exploded the block and added them individually, I have aimed the light and rotated it every which way, but most of the time nothing works. I have tested out the problem on my current rendering…See More

If i sent you one or sets, could you "compose" one material as an example?

"nXtRender doesn't use the AO texture image settings for anything, so don't bother trying to use that.
