The stretch to fit option is great for importing a portrait into rendering; thanks.

That was really well done in a concise manner. I've been experimenting with this taking material in our current home and seeing what the chairs / furniture / etc will look like based on the available objects in the Home Designer (retail Chief Arch) product.

Hi CA
Please advise as to the ideal full number of "Ray-trace passes" in the Render settings to obtain a near Photo-realistic image of the final image.
If it is perhaps 120 passes which could take many hours, it may still not yield the required results.
Please advise.

If you have Chief Architect X13 and a video card that supports real time ray tracing, a photo realistic image should only take a couple of seconds depending on your plan. I have linked below a video that goes over this in more detail: ua-cam.com/video/Wi6YmiDIuxc/v-deo.html
