floating models

Is there any definitive way to align the floor and base of the model so
that is doesn't (randomly) appear as floating when rendering. The base
of the model is already aligned with the top plane. Has this feature
been improved with 2006?

 

No. It still doesn't work very well.

Yes you can align the scene to the XZ plane and set the offset to 0 mm
or less (sometimes you have issues), depending on where the shadow
appears in your regular modeling winndow

 

hi parel. You're here as well!... sometimes that doesnt work. The floor
randomly moves to above/below the model even if it is set to the
correct plane with 0mm offset.

 

Unchecking the "resize automatically" option sometimes helps with this.
SW/PW seems to have a mind of its own when it comes to floor (room)
seetings sometimes.
