I think I know the answer but thought I'd ask anyway. I use CA X1. I'm designing a deck, and would like to know if CA has deck "skirting"? Essentially, instead of say adding a lattice as a skirt around a deck, does CA offer any option to cover the piers/footings? Thnx in advance. Roz

Greg, you are correct. Thanks for the input.

Thanks Joey. This worked perfectly. Roz

Thanks for the reply Greg. How did you "raise" the deck? I notice the deck floor surface is flush with the top of the pool...which is exactly what I want. Thanks again Roz

Hi Folks. I use CA X1. I am designing a deck plan that includes a round above ground pool (21' diameter). Does anyone have a similar design or plan? I'd like to know if I would have to manually draw the deck framing (piers, beams, footings) around the pool or can CA do this for me? The pool will sit/rest on the ground so there's no weight bearing on the deck, however the deck will be flush with the pool giving an "in ground" appearance. Any pics would also be helpful. Thx always, Roz

Hello, Folks. I use CA X1. I'm designing a simple deck, and would like to know how to auto generate footings. My plan has beams that were auto generated, but I was under the impression that CA would also generate footings (either round or square). Any tips, suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. Thanks Roz

Hi Folks. I'm wondering if there's anything I'm doing wrong. CA X1 will not provide a Roof material list for my 2nd floor (sheathing, shingles, etc). I have my Floor 2 Room Materials Defaults set as Floor 1 (which correctly generate a materials list). All other materials lists for Floor 2 generate correctly. Only Roof materials won't generate for Floor 2. My plan is attached. I previously asked this question, but forgot to include my plan. Any pointers, suggestions to look at? As Always thanks folks. I appreciate you. Roz TOAKS_FORHELP.plan

Thanks for your reply Kbird1. I have attached my plan.

Hi Folks. Happy Saturday. Was wondering if there's anything I'm doing wrong. CA X1 will not provide a Roof material list for my 2nd floor (sheathing, shingles, etc). I have my Floor 2 Room Materials Defaults set as Floor 1 (which correctly generate a materials list). All other materials lists for Floor 2 generate correctly. Only Roof materials won't generate for Floor 2. Any pointers, suggestions to look at? Unfortunately my plan exceeds the 25MB limit. As Always thanks folks. I appreciate you. Roz TOAKS_FORHELP.plan

So very sorry folks. My previous attachment was indeed too small to see. I have reattached a better example of my problem. Thanks Roz

I use CA X1. For some strange reason I cannot get CA to draw perfect arches. A snippet from my front elevation is attached and the arched doorways are in yellow highlight. I've tried several things with no success. Any tips, pointers, suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks Roz

Folks, thank you very very much for your feedback and solutions. I tried DJP's solution in the YouTube video and it worked PERFECTLY! Its exactly what I was looking for. HumbleChief and Yusuf thank you as well for your input. This forum rocks! Appreciate it again, Roz

Good Evening Folks. I'm a CA X1 user semi-new to CA and have relied on this forum for solutions to roadblocks in the past...Thanks again. I'm hoping someone provide *step by step* instructions for creating a arched/barrel roof like in the attached pic (circled in yellow)? I'm at a my wits end trying to accomplish this. Any, and all assistance, tips, HELP is sincerely appreciated. Thanks you. Roz

LOL. Thanks Drawzilla. Unfortunately, I don't own X6. Roz
