      Thanks for the links Gaieus! I'll take a look.

      Concerning the render.
      I've made a section cut using the Section Pane in SU. Then exported the model to Kerky.

        Hm. Interesting. I linked your render post in this topic and Frederik (of the KT Team) responded that you shouldn't be able to do this. 😲

          Ok, let me explain my method.

          First I use section pane to cut out a part of the house.
          Select everything still visible and make a group, hide this group and delete the section pane.

          The only thing still visible is now "the cut" part, delete this and unhide the group.

          That is how I got the model for the render.
          Nothing fancy, just some grouping, hiding en deleting. πŸ˜‰

          Regards,
          Ward

            Ah, OK, I now understand that it's not a "real" section plane. Thanks for making it clear.

              Section CutFace, as good as it is, doesn't work as well, for instance in the case of super-nested objects.

              So, what to do? My advice is, color in the back faces with black. It works all the time πŸ˜‰

              Cheers,

                I actually designed an 80sq,m (8x5 living / 8x5 bedrooms / and garage under 8x5) modular terrace house once and must say as others have pointed out the stairwell became an interesting imposition to the limited space. However the resulting spacial layout using some very space saving design became quite large.

                It is interesting how you can get some very sizable rooms out of such a small space. The first we did of these (block of 6) were so popular to the market we searched for a allotments to site more. 6+7+6+22+7

                  Thanks for your tip.
                  That's pretty easy!

                  @Richard,
                  Do you have some renders maybe? I'd like to see your 80m2 house!

                  Got some new renders :
                  Walls in the section cut are now closed, or "thick".
                  Added a spiral staircase (found this one in the 3d warehouse)
                  And got some new furniture.

                    Yea... you need better textures... more segments on your models closer to the camera...softer shadows... and i hope you don't have any over weight friends cause I'm positive they would break those kitchen chairs in a heart beat! Not to be nit picking or anything πŸ˜‰

                      Ok, I know where to get some better looking textures.

                      Can you tell me how to get some softer shadows?

                      As for the chairs... I don't have any overweight friends. 🀣
                      Family maybe... they will have to bring their own chairs!

                        If you are using kerkythea... change the radius dial and see what happens (i usually set mine around 20 for exterior renders)... you'll have to experiment to see what works best for you... make sure you have soft shadow checked too!... you may have to wait longer for clearer shadows but it is well worth it!

                            cool, is the second photo a paint job of the original brickwork? Seemed there was a double order of teal green...

                              No rendering just some old photos. One of the brick ones were set up as a showroom and the agents sold the 22 off it in 2 weekends! Quite a success! They were designed about 12 years ago and the styling aimed at a slightly modern interpretation of an old Sydney Terrace House. Bit out of date now!!

                              I'll try and dig out my old hand drawn plans and post all as a seperate thread.

                                Too right the developers very bad choice of colours! But doesn't look so bad in real life!

                                  There has to be storage somewhere. Could you not use the dead-space created by the stairs for this?

                                  Otherwise...interesting/appealing concept.

                                  Yep, going to create some storage near the stairs and on the first floor.
                                  Thanks for your comment.

                                  @Richard, interesting plan. Thanks for sharing.
                                  Can I use it for another 80m2 house?

                                    Your welcome for asking though I think we need to respect that designs post here are copyrighted.

                                    Though please take any inspirations from it. I must admit I'm not sure where I have lost space working off memory. The original layout was certainly more efficient!

                                      That's a nice house. I would love to own one of those.

                                      This is my 80sqm apartment, I used to live here... now I live in a 8sqm bedroom.
