  1. Well, if you are using 2X treads, then you have to kind of fill in the gap unless the steps have a riser height of less than 5.5", otherwise you don't pass the sphere test. So you need SOMETHING on your riser, but I would be afraid of using a partially closed riser. Seems like it would be a good way to get a toe caught in there during a fall. If the stairs have a total height of less than 30", then you can use open risers, of course.

    I would put the 4" or so blocking on the top of the tread so it would stop your toe. On the bottom could be a toe catcher.

  2. Under build/ walls section

    There is also a floor materials tool.

    The wall and floor materials tool will report to the the materials lists. Sometimes I just use a shower pan and change the material to whatever I want it to be. Tile, marble, granite

    The really good thing about it is it will delete any finish under it like drywall.

  3. Also, the way CA does shower enclosures is a problem because the tile stops at the inside corner fo the room when in reality the tile has to go to what would be the exterior face of a wall or knee wall so that the glass is against the tile.  i.e. the tile runs past the glass.

    Not with the new wall material tool.

  4. Similar, except the parapet wall extends higher than the roof. I can never get the auto roofs to do what I need, I do start with auto roofs but must always fix them unless they are very simple.

  5. Stairs and landings need to be connected, try to move the stairs a little and they might auto connect , then the railing will be correct. To verify if they are connected, open the stair DBX and if you see 2 stairs shown , they are connected
