  1. Hello. When I add a terrain on the first floor plan view, it is removing the exterior walls on the 3D camera views. Any feedback about how I can fix this would be appreciated. Thank you kindly.
  2. @DavidJPotter Hello. Thank you for your response. Have a great day.
  3. Hi. Is there a way to turn off the lights on the front and back gables? The lights were created using moldings and profiles. Thanks in advance.
  4. Hello. Is there a setting that will turn off lines or layers from printing? For example, I have layout lines that I use to layout floor plans. I want to keep these lines, but do not want them to print. Any feedback is helpful. Thank you kindly.
  5. Hello. I am trying to create a round exterior deck that wraps around a house. After creating the deck, CA is seeing it as an interior room. Any suggestions on how I can separate the deck from the interior of the house? Each space would have different flooring materials. See attached pic. Thank you kindly.
  6. Hello. Is there a way to transfer an existing plan onto a new template? I have an existing plan for a one story house with foundation, but there are no active views. Rather than creating all new active views, I would like to transfer the plan to a template that already has preset active views. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly.
  7. @glennw Thank you kindly. I will give it a try. Have a nice day.
  8. Hi. Is there a way to create a graspable handrail that attaches to the inside face of stair newel posts? Any information is appreciated. Thank you kindly.
  9. @DBCooper Hi. Thank you for your responses. Turning off 'recessed' worked. Most appreciated. Have a great day!
  10. Hi. I created a new exterior wall type for a zip wall system and am having trouble generating the proper location for the exterior window casing. With exterior window casing turned on, the zip wall and siding stop at the casing instead of continuing down to the window opening. With the exterior window casing turned off, the zip wall and siding continue to the top and bottom of the window opening - which is what I want except for the missing casing. How do I add the exterior window casing or get it to generate so that it is on the exterior face of the zip wall? Any feedback is helpful. Thank you kindly. See attached photos.
  11. Hello. How do you create a hole in a deck floor? I have two decks with a spiral staircase going up from one deck to another. I need to cut a hole in the deck floor for the spiral stair. Tried using the 'hole in floor' tool with no luck. Also tried, creating a railing around the stair and making it into an "open floor" with no luck. Any help is appreciate. Thank you kindly.
  12. @robdyckThank you! I notched the main roof plane. I really appreciated your feedback. :)
  13. Hello. I am having trouble creating a dormer that is open to the first floor. My end goal is to have the exterior roof lines meet as in images Q3. When I join the roofs, the interior of the dormer is looking wonky. See image Q4. If I make the roofline as in Q1 and Q2 - it looks cleaner inside. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Plan File

  15. @solver I updated my signature. Thank you for letting me know.
  16. Hi. Surrounding walls all seem to be connected. Now I lost my porch floor and there is terrain in the living room.
  17. Hello. I am not able to define the main area of my first floor plan (labeled "Living Room" of floor plan). It appears as though the floor structure is missing. The adjacent rooms are all okay. Any guidance is appreciated. Thank you kindly. Plan File
  18. Hello everybody. Thank you all so much for your help and feedback. @Mark3D. I looked at the file and made the changes based on your feedback. Success! Thank you! Have a fab day!
  19. Good question. For some reason, I cannot select those lines. I checked my layers and everything is unlocked. Not sure why there would be room dividers there. Hmm.....
  20. Hi. It's working for me now too. Not sure what happened. Thank you so much for your response.
  21. I am using the railing to auto generate columns and beam for an exterior porch. For some reason, the railing is generating 4 -1/2 columns, where only 3 are needed. The spacing is set to 8' o.c. for the columns. How can I correct this so that only 3 columns are being generated? Any feedback is appreciated. See attached plan file and circled area on the pics.

  22. Hello. My basement slab is not showing in the cross section nor the 3D overviews. I have looked to see if I maybe have a layer turned off, but I do not see any. Link to plan is below. Any feedback is appreciated. TIA PLAN FILE
