    You could create what you want from a polyline drawn onto your door panel which you can then turn into a new symbol. Here's a recessed panel door to which I added a gold inlay made from a polyline.

    I did this by drawing a polyline around the window opening (be sure to turn of interior casings) which I converted to a molding. i specified SM03 shoe molding and then aligned it to match the drywall. I also changed rte window frame depth to 5" (in a 6" wall).

    You can adjust the positioning of the tile using the 'Adjust material Definition' tool (the rainbow button). In the 'Texture' tab, adjust the tile in the 'Offset & Angle' section. Check out this article (scroll down to the '3 Texture')... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01006/customizing-a-library-material.html

    I'm not a fan of OneDrive. I keep project files on my D drive with backups on both an external drive and IDrive .

    Try this... Open the DBX for your wall/railing In the 'Wall Types' tab, click on 'Define' Delete the exterior drywall layer

    Ditto what Rob suggested. If you can't find a molding to your liking in the Chief Library, check out these on 3D Warehouse... https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/models?q=dentil+molding

    Auto dormers work well for this application... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00648/creating-an-automatic-dormer.html As Gene mentioned above, you may need to modify it to fit the space.

    When the 'Make Room Molding Polyline' box appears, your only choice is 'Blank'. Click 'OK' , select the molding (it should be automatically selected)and open the DBX. * When the DBX opens, go to the 'Moldings' tab Click 'Add New' and then select your molding *If you can't see the molding on your plan (and you are sure the layer is visable0, try increasing the line weight for the 'Moldings' layer. If you still can't get it yo work, post your plan Hope this works for you - Eric

    Once you click OK... the molding polyline should be selected automatically then you need to open the object manually. It will open to the moldings panel where you can then specify your molding. After you complete step 1, is the newly created molding highlighted and if not, can you select it manually?

    You'll also need to place a knee wall. This article explains it very well (scroll down about 2/3 to 'Requirement: Auto Dormers must intersect knee walls running perpendicular to the pitch of the base roof plane in the living or attic space directly below.' https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00751/message-placing-an-automatic-dormer.html

    Please post your plan.

    Thanks Doug. I just used some images of snow covered ground & roofs I found online and added bump maps for each.

    And Merry Christmas to you Doug. I prepared these for a client a couple of years ago, Christmas scene with one of their home designs...

    I've done several projects like this for HD users. Give me a call after the holiday and we can discuss in more detail. PM sent. - Eric

    What you are seeing is the joint between your interior wall and exterior wall. Make sure the interior surface of the two wall types are aligned and that should eliminate the line.
