What does every one of your clients have in common? Well, they all start with the same room setting; a wall, a floor and architectural elements! The quickest way to begin a rendering is by using a template. These templates have been created for you; simply download templates from “The Lounge”, our online forum. We have created 8’, 9’ and 10’ Templates. The templates include the floor, wall, crown, and baseboard. If you client does not have chair rail simply delete! This is so much quicker than adding the image to each design.
