    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Hi. Surrounding walls all seem to be connected. Now I lost my porch floor and there is terrain in the living room.

    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

    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.....

    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.

    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

    When I export a cross section/elevation as a "cad detail from view", there a multiple layers of cad lines on top of each other. When I got to delete a cad line, there is another underneath. It takes a few times of deleting a line to finally remove it. Any way to prevent this from happening? See attached video clip. TIA. Recording #119.mp4

    Hello. I am having issues with an exterior wall. There seems to be a random base plate that is generating a few feet about the first floor level. It appears that this plate may also be causing an issue up at the second floor where there is a hole in the exterior wall. I try deleting the base plate, but I am not able to select. How can I fix this so that the exterior wall generates properly. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you kindly. See the areas circled in orange on the attached photos. Link to PLAN FILE

    The thought is to build the new shed roof over the existing roof plane Trying to upload plan. CA is telling me there is an error processing upload. File is 14.1 mb and max upload is 25 mb.
