    OR
    You can just model your house in Google Sketcup which is 1000x faster, easier and the result will be better and then you import it in cinema 4d for your animation purposes.

    Not sure if its a settings issue but i can’t see the lines i just drew when i go into perspective mode. it’s as if i didn’t draw anything at all.

    @MaxonC4D Cool, Thanks

  10. MaxonC4D says:

    @EpicHawk Yes, you might see an extra command or so on the various menus in R12 but the tools used are the same.

  11. EpicHawk says:

    @MaxonC4D Will this tutorial work in the latest C4D R12 version?

  12. MyChubbyChecker says:

    ironically, n-gon is a polygon… anything with more than 2 sides is a polygon

    I don’t get it, why won’t gridline snapping work for me?

    @19ToMaS20 Please try saving onto the root of your C: drive, or in a new folder on your C: drive. It might be there is some kind of permissions problem with the file on your desktop., i.e. CINEMA 4D is unable to overwrite the existing file.

    @GanjaBeard510 Does this work for you? Make sure you have a polygon object selected in the object manager, make sure the points tool is selected in the left toolbar, then move the cursor inside the perspective view.

    Hold down the number ’9′ key and keep it held down while you drag over some points. This should select the points you drag over.

    Holding down ’9′ activates the Live Selection tool temporarily, as soon as you let go of ’9′, you revert to the tool you used just before.

  21. GanjaBeard510 says:

    i have a question at 7:30 u are talking about welding. when you say there is a way you can do both select and welding, which key do you say is it the “9 key?” because it does not work for me. please if there is another way for easy select and weld like you explain please let me know thank you

  22. MaxonC4D says:

    @kizza1309 Hold down CTRL + SHIFT while CINEMA 4D starts and keep them held down until
    the splash screen disappears. This will reset shading to Software Mode, i.e. it will switch off OpenGL.
    If it works fine in Software Shading mode, it looks like a problem with OpenGL. In that case make sure your OS is up to date and try updating your graphics card drivers.
    If you still have problems, please contact our tech support, see the Maxon website for details.
