Render setting question

ahicks_ATS — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 17:11:42 GMT

I'm rendering a project in Navisworks and I'm having some issues with the stereo panorama view. With the roof turned off you can see but there are shadows on everything. However, if I turn the roof layer on then I can't see anything because its too dark. Is there a way to set up some sort of illumination?

Thanks y'all.

Hi @ahicks_ATS,

I am not sure I understand it correctly. Can you explain a little better and post a screenshot?

Thank you for your post. It looks like you are trying to make a stereo panorama render within Navisworks, but are seeing ill behavior with shadows with respect to the roof object. There are a lot of possible directions here, so the best bet would be to attach a screen shot of what you see with both the roof turned on and off, and a sample of the file in question. Please also grab a screen shot of your render settings for review. Please keep us posted in the community so we can best help in this case moving forward. Thank you and we look forward to your reply.

I submitted it and was told it was fine. Turns out it was more of a pet project for internal use than a customer request. Thanks all.
