Randy,

Many people use this program for different purposes. Some for renders and some for doing plans. In my opinion, very different. To make a render look like what you want, sometimes you have to do work arounds and think outside the box. When I do a plan for permitting let's say, it generally takes me less time if I don't have to show renders because you're working with bascially 2d. You just need to show it in a plan view and need to have cad details in short. However, showing it in 3D can be more time consuming because everything has to be just right. And then you have the texture and lighting thing to deal with.

With that said, if you have a basic question, then yes, I would try a search and look in "help" first. Then post a question here. What may be basic to some, is not to others. It really depends on what you use the most.

Just check out Louis's poll on "I need help". You'll see that many of us, need help in all aspects of this program. I would not hesitate to ask a question. Thank God we have people like Louis, Tim O, David P, Dermot and others to help us out on the technical side.

Welcome to the forum.
