Quote - Why use the 6 poly box? Pretty simple. Poser's box is 8X8 polys per side X6 sides per box X14 boxes per stair = pdg stair-ing at his old computer crunch numbers for a half a pot of coffee vs 6 polys per box X 14 boxes = pdg barely having time to light a smoke to go with the cold cup of coffee on the desk beside him.  lol

Ah, you learn quickly grasshopper. ... :biggrin:
Low poly is PC (or Mac) number crunching friendly, however ...

There is another reason we need to use the lorez (6 poly) box prop to make our stringer ...
... we shall see what it is shortly ... 😄

I shall produce the next page quickly to demonstrate ... Stay tuned ...

Doc you are amazing. If you are as old as the dirt you built this house on, this project brings back memories of the ancient poem, "This is the House that Dr. Geep Built!"  :laugh:

Plus I can't believe you would risk building a spec house in this economy! :woot:

So much valuable stuff. Thanks a ton!

... and ...

Why is there a question about whether to "Center" it on Import ... or not?

Awesome tutorial! And the "instructional" pictures are as fun as the building construction is innovative 😄 I've been doing a lot of architecture lately--I'll have to give this a try! It actually looks quicker than messing around in Wings 3D, which is what I've been doing.

Ever wonder why an imported prop looks funny?

Maybe it's a problem with it's "normals." ....................... Maybe, just maybe. ... 😄

And ............................................... Here's how to fix it. 👍

~ Import Options ~

To "center" or not to "center" .......... That is the question ...

If we check the "Centered" option when we Import the FloorPlug, it will be centered which will make it located 2 feet (24") out of position.  Easy to fix ... just change xTran to 0.240 (24") to move
it 2' to the right ... OR ... just UNcheck "Centered" when you Import and it should come back into Poser in exactly the correct location. ... Your choice. 😄

Looking good Doc.

Coyotes, not many of them here in England we do have a lot of cats though :)

 Roofs I always find them tricky make them look good, without going overboard on polys, so I'm looking forward to your take on them.

(The Henley House, nice coincidence Doc, I bought that just yesterday!)

Let's make a frame for our roof.

We will build it on the "Floor" (i.e., yTran 0.000) because it is easier.

After we have a completed the roof assembly, we will move it up into it's final position.
