I use Sketchup for that, never tried with CA.

NP enjoy, glad it worked out!

I used it on the project a while back. I hope you find it useful. fluted-concrete-block-wall-texture.zip

Yes, I have both Malwarebytes Pro and Spybot-S&D just happened a while back I needed Spybot to get rid of something Malwarebytes couldn't do it and I agree the free ones like adwcleaner (which I use also) are excellent programs.

Keep in mind that most Antivirus companies goes too far with their Virus protection and in many cases they classify completely legit software as infection, and these are simple false positive alerts. If you have popups or your browser gets hijacked most likely you caught some Malware and antivirus programs suck at catching them, so you can use free tools like Adware-Removal-Tool,HiJackThis tool,CCleaner, etc there is also tools you pay for which are only $20 some which do a real good job.

I use Camtasia Studio, do your rendering, then drop into Camtasia add the music and combine the two. Easy and effortless.

Scott, Couldn't agree with more...

There is always a problem with under-stair walls, especially when using winder on stairs and having base molding to be continued. If you create auto generated wall under the stairway it shows without base molding. If you add a wall under it, its messing up the whole staircase and its such a time consuming way of doing it. I know this been brought up before, but no one really has any solution how to do this. Is there an easy way to do this or video someplace showing how can this be done?.

Sketchup has tendency to do that to get a better rendering quality. You can get a third party poly cruncher programs which will reduce the file size. I could have kept smooth sides making like a plain cylinder, but I guess I like to play a little so I made it look like a real sump pit and if need it it will look real. ​If that a concern, just make a cylinder using solids and cut a hole in it to make a pit.

Thanks guys for the reply. Is what I been doing using the wall there to make it work or using a line and converting to 3d molding, but we shouldn't have to do that. Also if you have crown molding in the room and you create a stairway, the crown should break at stairway points instead of keep going another pain in the A$$ and a wasted time to get rid of it. As spindles go, I think you only have the option to adjust spacing on the landing rails only, on the stairs you don't get that option in dbx. Also when railing is done on the stairway along the wall,would be a good idea to add wall returns being this the code and it would look much better in the 3d view. Hopefully they get this right i the new version.

Am'I doing something wrong or this is some CA glitch in the program. First, when closing under the stairs the wall base molding is not continued as it would with crown when using soffit where crown will recognize soffit being part of the wall and wrap around it. Second using the Newel out of the box, why stair tread cuts through the post? Third why there is missing spindles at the wall and at the newel post... creating none code compliant spindle spacing? Is this something CA messed up (@ this price should this be an issue)? I'm doing something wrong? Or this have to be done manually?

You welcome, glad I could help out and its always a pleasure!

Use break line to make any curve you need

Click add a frame and add click on the path line behind the leading camera, that camera will become camera #2 and the leading camera will automatically become camera #3.

Nothing is attached

Can you post a plan here?

There is no floor above. Add a floor and the stairs will connect.

I don't know who you making this drawing for... That door should be an in-swing door per building code... or someone will break theirs neck. If you make a 3' landing there, then it can be out-swing if it has to be out-swing.

Try to run you CA as administrator. Right click the icon and select <Run as administrator> and try to copy again.

I manually fixed the problem you had there and manually changed the layout on the right side of it. I didn't look at nothing else, just fixed what you asked for. With that roof layout, you have to add a cricket to divert the water from the front gable valley, I'm sure you can figure that out. I agree with Raul, something is off on your plans, could be ceiling elevations, etc. I would check that. With that said, you need to relax a little, people are very helpful here and there is no reason to cup an attitude, if someone expressed theirs concerns, chew on it and move on, don't make it personal. Good luck

Here you go. House plan 424-60_1.plan

Doing a finish basement for a customer, so he decided to incorporate a hidden door to his office. So I made a quick door for him in Sketchup, just to give him an Idea what it will look like. This was made just to give him an idea, but if you willing to spend a little time it can be done with other custom features. This door just needs simple modification, like broken arch 22", hidden hinges dropped to 15", hardware on one side, etc. Included is a few images how it displays in the view and plan. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this Tommy!

Yusuf, I look forward to see how you do that. Always nice to learn new tricks. Thanks!

I made a few doors in Sketchup just to try it out using side and top rails as different components and it seems when used in CA the grain runs in all the right directions. Here is the door samples. Door Collection.zip
