I'll give that a try! Right now when I try to paste the second floor over the first, they overlay each other, so my guess is I should have started out building it by floor instead of separately.

Originally I was hired to do the kitchen and baths on each floor, so to keep file size down, just did them separately. Now the scope has changed and actually this morning did a 3 story so I can do that. I'm just trying to figure out how to add the plans with the kitchen and the baths to each other. I have to be honest, I've never tried to do anything like this before.

I am currently working on the interiors for a 3 story house and have done each floor as a separate plan. The architect has asked whether it would it would be possible to "walk" the client through the entire house starting at ground level since we are now doing this remotely. I need to at least add the third story to the second story in order to do the cathedral ceilings in several of the rooms. Is it possible to take the plan for the 3rd floor and add it to the second floor? And then insert the ground floor under the first floor? And can I do all this just using interiors? I've been working on it for several days off and on and I'm obviously not doing something correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! This was exactly what I needed - and I really appreciate you taking the time to make the video.

I'm an interior designer, so I'm not building the roof - which is probably some of the problem I'm having. I am renovating a room on the third floor of a condo and am trying to replicate the room in CA so that I design the interior. I've attached pictures of the actual room. All I can get is a vaulted ceiling, and as you can see from the pictures, there is a 40" flat space in the center of the room, and the ceiling slopes down to 26" knee walls on either side. We are gutting the room and starting over, and that's what I need to design. Does this help?

No, I'm just trying to figure out how to draw the space in CA so that I design the built in beds we're going to put on that floor. The picture is one I found online that shows exactly what the ceiling looks like and that's what I have to work with.

Yes, and the center of the ceiling is flat - but only about 40" wide.

Ok but how do I get the sloped walls down to the knee walls?

I am designing some custom built-ins for a client who has a 3rd floor almost identical to the one shown in the picture I've attached, including the skylights. I can do a vaulted ceiling, but cannot figure out how to do the flat ceiling in between the two sloped ceilings down a knee wall. I'm using Chief Interiors x12. Thx for any help!

I had an architect send me the DWG files for a house that I am doing the interiors on, and I have not been able to import and get walls, windows, floors or ceilings. I have searched through all of the forum articles I could find as well as the support documents and either I am missing something or I am doing something wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

My plan was to use either Go to My PC or Zoom - I've used before in the past but was on another desktop and it worked extremely well -- so my question is just whether there are specifications I should look for in a laptop and whether anyone has done this? Just looking for some tips/things to look for in the laptop. THx

I just bought a new desktop and two 27” monitors in December and last week signed a contract on a job out of state that will require quite a bit of travel. I am going to have to get a new laptop but really don’t want to spend a fortune at this point and don’t want to have to buy another license. Most of my work will be done in my office, but on my trips out there will need to access my CA files, and perhaps work on them. What would be the minimum requirements I would need in order to access my main computer and let it do the heavy lifting on CA? I use X11 Interiors and will primarily be working on kitchen and bathroom designs for the architect.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! That is exactly what I needed and since I do a fair amount of remodeling in summer condos, I will be sure to keep this. Really appreciate your help!!!

Exactly like that!

I have been struggling to do a frameless glass bypass shower door with barn door style hardware. I tried using the barn door and changing the door to a glass panel, but cannot configure another glass panel on the hardware. Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this? Thx in advance!

The door is on the right side, panel on the left - how did you do an angled front on the cabinet? Cathy Chief x11 Kennebunk ME

I am designing a custom kitchen for a client and have a cabinet that I am going to angle the side back to the wall due to a large sliding glass door, which opens to the pool deck, so has to stay (this is a renovation). I have attached a drawing of the cabinet that I need to do but cannot figure out how to manipulate a cabinet so that it looks like this. Cathy Rowe x11 Kennebunk ME

Thanks! Do you have an editing software you would recommend that would be easy to use?

Is there a way to download a picture of a tile from a manufacturer's website and create a material? I am trying to use the attached pics of tiles for a backsplash in a kitchen and have followed the instructions on the videos, but cannot get the tile to align properly. I have attached pictures of the two tiles I'd like to show the client, and a picture of what happens when I try to use the material. Thanks!

I am having major problems with the colors on both my screen AND printing. I am using CA x10 Interiors and am trying to utilize the colors from Sherwin Williams and Benjamin Moore catalogs in my designs. However, the colors on screen and when I print look nothing like the actual colors. Additionally, when I print the 3d elevations, the images are too dark, so I have to export them and then open and adjust in Photoshop. I have a Dell P2717H (DP) monitor and it has been calibrated for color, screen resolution is 1920x1080. Operating system is Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit, video card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX745 with 4095MB memory. It isn't just some plans, it is all plans. Any help would be appreciated!!!!
