They weren't appearing before in a file that did work and now they keep appearing. There are thousands of them.

I finally have my revit model in 3DS max after having to uncheck combine objects by layer because when i tried to assign glass to a curtain wall it would assign it to every wall. Now i have to assign materials to each fach rather than object which doesnt worry me. Whats annoying is that in the renders revit objects such as columns and mullions do not appear although they are clearly visable in the viewport. I have tried many different options but none have been succesful. The closest i have got is when i ticked force 2 sided which caused very small shapes to appear which may have been a small part of the column. Anyone know a solution to this?

Heres a higher quality version of the logo. I think the plants on the roof of the museum are thistles.

It's a thistle, they are a weed. You don't want it were going to throw it out.

So it's free?

Classic.

I have now touched up problems such as light leaks and gone into more detail with the areas which are going to be rendered. Due to the shear scale of my half I am begining to worry about how much detail i should realy go into. At the moment It is quite basic in relation to the building but it is a lot more complex than most other models so if we join it together we could run into some problems in viz.

I've been playing around with my website but i can't get it on to the webspace. It's kinda average at the moment i'm just trying to get an understanding of how it all works but it would be cool if I could get it on the net.

Hey man I scanned in the photo taken from square on, you know the one from the book? Yeah? The one thats just past the centre? The one in the little part with colour photos? Good. It's quite high res but the way the scanner imports it is sorta funny looking up close.

Here is my powerpoint of my renders. My embeded model is spaz but i think I know how to get a good one in but Viz isn't working.

Here is the complete model of the museum. Big kudos to Wes who put them all together. I'm just taking credit for it.
