Thanks guys, I really like the symbol method Solver, that combined with treatments dialog makes it automatic enough.

Hey guys, I am trying to find the location within the settings/defaults to influence the apron size, & profile. I could certainly create cad moldings as a work around but that would get pretty tedious. Any suggestions?

Mick,

Thanks for the suggestion, I did find some usable textures at hatch.com and I found some arabesque tile images I made use of. I was trying to use your suggested method with Paint and copying, manipulating images but I have very little experience with that software so it was  a struggle. I'm going to have to learn it because I am constantly not satisfied with textures from capture tool. searching for seamless textures or tile-able images definitely improved the materials creation results. Thanks for the help!

I just made a CAD block of the tile shape, can I convert this into a material?

Hey guys, do any of you know some good resources for additional materials? I am often in need of additional tile patterns and flooring materials to make my designs more realistic. I have used the capture tool to create several times but the repeats just do not look good. For example floor materials just look repetitive in an unrealistic way.  For example, I want to make a tile material/pattern for this attached picture. I also attached a pic from a plan showing the floor material created via screen capture tool, you can see how it repeats in a way that does not make a very good presentation. How do I make these more realistic.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Michael, Can I just move them down without redrawing them ?

I did that but doesnt seem to have made any difference, not sure what that option does?

scott, what do mean by non room defined?

Hey guys, I have a deck that has its edge perch directly over a retaining wall. The retaining wall's zenith seems to be interfering with my deck structure. Any suggestions?

Thanks guys, I will try this new hole to polylinefeature.

Hey guys and Gals, does anyone now how to get deck rooms or balconies over a terrain without it cutting a whole?  No problem with decks only, but when I make a room with roof & walls, then it cuts terrain below. Some advice would be helpful.

Thanks

Good morning guys, I,m going to work on this today, trying to figure out where to start right now. I think I may find training video on creating symbols, since I have not done that at all.

Chop & Solver, thanks for the suggestions here. I,ve only been using Cheif for about 9 months so I dont totally follow but I am going to give a try. Thanks

Here is an image of what I am trying to do, My ceiling is vaulted (less pitch than the roof). anyone know how?

Any one know a good method to draw a crown molded coffered ceiling that is vaulted not flat? I am a less than 1 year user of Premier x9.  I watched a training video on the flat ceiling method for coffering and pulled that off really well but now I need to do a vaulted and coffered ceiling and the same methods didn't work.

We always build our decks independent of the home so they can move freely.  How do I set this up as the standard for all of our decks.  I don't want to continue to copy and insert another carrier beam and posts.
