i think a single spaceship in the background- or at least a vapor trail would be nice.

This is great work! Good detail and mood.

Despite the liberties with ancient Roman architectural conventions, great job modeling and rendering so far!

Thanks so much! i'm going to try it out right now!

Really nice stuff- i love the wood texture on the columns and railing.

yes, i can't escape Architecture

In the final analysis, Architecture is an Art. It transcends building, and speaks to our humanity. A design tool is just that, a tool. The great works of Architecture are not a function of our tools, but of human genius.

That we all approach the solution in different ways, is part of that genius. And, the variety of expressions is probably affected by the myriad of tools that we utilize.

It may be a mistake to expect any single software to do everyting well for everyone.

Vitruvius writes that architecture is neither theory, nor practice, but both. It is not Art alone; it has practicality and responsibility attached. Human invention resorts to a variety of inspirations to produce good buildings and good architecture- both of which are based on sound principles. Genius is far too subjective to be attributed to the success of architecture; just as looking to our tools alone may be too objective.
I agree, however, that a single software package is the answer. Not because a single software package can not address all issues, but because it can not address all personalities and temperaments- not to be confused with genius.

Marcus,
Thanks for the encouragement; sharing is what makes us all stronger as individuals... at least on this forum if not in life, eh.
I've learned so much from people on this forum- it's like having a thousand people at your fingertips.

Thanks- this is the thread that started me thinking about doing this "start to finish" in the first place. Thanks for your contributions!

The images are so saturated that I want to lick my screen.

I already tried to and got a nice warm buzz from it.

Tim,
These could not have been easy to make. What would you do differently next time? what gave you the most challenge?

And a couple more images: the plan is not in stone, nor is it complete... we just wanted to give them some ideas of where we're going with this design, and just talk through the plan a bit...

Here be some more views...

I think you're right, Red... i'll find out shortly since we just submitted the design to the client and we'll soon go into DD, followed by CDs!
Here is the proposed elevation... more to come.

Curious luck: i removed simplbeam.rb and the problem went away!

these look great- use different sky images for the different views.

I'm running SU7 pro on the latest OSX. When i right click a component, I get these error message before it will give me my context menu...
