Lighting in Articad

Hi. New to this Forum but know this is a topic regularly touched on. I have tried juggling various lighting options around and even have some of Joes spots in the ceiling but Im always getting a bleached look. Is there a way I can attach a file for someone to explore where I'm going wrong.
Thanks

Hi Kregano - probably best you post an image up of a render you have done and we can all take a look to see if we can help you?

I just upgraded the build to 53 over the weekend and have just opened the file to find all my handles have changed and positions moved. So I will have to try and put that right first. Is there a quick way to change the handle on the drawers for all of them where they are different from the doors?

Hi Krengo,

You should be able to do it through the This Design tab at thew top. Then choose 'Door Type', then 'Customise Door', then choose from the drop down list 'Base Unit Drawer'. Alter this to the handle and position you want. Then repeat this by choosing 'Pan Drawer' and alter to the same.

If you want to change one unit on its own rather than all of them then you will need to select the unit, press F1 and click 'OK'. The click the customise button and then select the drawer you want to alter. Then press the 'Edit' button. From here you can use the 'Customise Door' button to make the same changes as the first method.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers

Thanks Minch
I'll try that as Ive done it all individually now as when I asked Articad they said it wasnt possible. That would have saved me quite a while.

Eeeeek, see how it goes. Do you know who you spoke too?

Dont know who I spoke to but it works. Thank you. The thing that really bugs me and I have mentioned it to them is when you have a wide pan drawer and want 2 cup handles spaced apart there are no set handle positions which match the drawer to the pan drawer so I always end up having to delete some and have floating handles. Gggrrr

A workaround I posted a while ago on the KFF might be a solution for you:

Thanks Darrel
I'll try that next time but find it strange that a package which is reasonably advanced doesn't have the facility to line them up in the set areas
