  1. What is the difference between Pattern and Textures? Is it possible to make a Mural on an Exterior Wall in CA Is the siding on building truly a 3D element or just an image I am trying to get the effect of an actual painted mural on an exterior wall. Like it is actually painted on the siding. So it looks realistic. Thanks
  2. Railing around the Widow Walk (tower) Which is on a 1st floor Roof It just doesn't want to complete without messing something up. I can get 3 Railings connected when trying to complete the 4th it breaks. Buid5_copy.plan
  3. Trying to get a wall cap on this exterior wall. The wall Caps is grayed out? Not sure why? I search the guides and manuals and nothing comes up on "Wall Caps" The other thing giving me problems is a a railing around the Widow Walk (tower) it just doesn't want to complete without messing something else up.

  4. I am familiar with using colors and paint tools and droppers as well as setting up custom color pallets, but I can’t seem to find a “replace color” tool. Does one exist in CA? So I can simply and quickly replace all of one color with another in one click. Let’s say replace the exterior siding color from red to blue in one click instead of each section /wall at a time. While testing exterior colors (Something similar to Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator) or is the only way in “Default settings” ? Thanks
  5. Thanks you made that so easy. Great videos. Do you know how to separate the interior and exterior of an enclosed porch or deck so I can separate the wall materials to show properly. Inside of Enclosed Deck to be Drywall finish While maintaining Siding on the exterior wall I would think the program smart enough to do that automatically.
  6. Are there pre-made Gable Brackets or a tool to help build these Any direction on a way to accomplish would be appreciated Looked on the tutorials but can't find. Thanks Buid5.plan

  10. I give up I guess it cant be done. Why are these roofs so difficult with all this rebuild crap Cant this program build section of a roof without rebuilding the entire roof or roofs in a project? Thanks
  11. Thanks for all your help. I'm having problems when I go to build roof plain and it rebuilds the entire roof instead of just the Gable over the window. I watched this video: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1503/using-the-gable-roof-line-tool.html I'm pretty sure this is what I want. Thanks again I will slowly get it eventually.
  12. Wondering why tutorial videos buffer all the time? They must host on slow servers. I have 600Mb service It makes watching them most unenjoyable
  13. Could you give me a little more direction I am new to CA Thanks
  14. I am new to CA and am trying to figure this one out. Roof Dormer Effect or Roof Overhang over window. I have watched multiple videos but can't find the answer.

Thanks Buid4copy copy.plan
  15. Slowly getting there but I am struggling.
  16. I have watched hours of the videos. Thanks

  22. I would like to lower the elevation of an entire Structure "Storage Structure" so it is level with a concrete slab. I cant seem to figure this one out. I am sure it is something simple I am overlooking Thanks for any help Buid4copy.plan
  23. "Open the terrain dbx and uncheck Hide Terrain Intersected by Building " What is the "terrain dox"
  24. Another question. I cant get the entry wall to change to" interior material" from the "blue siding" I used the material eyedropper but it just changes the color and does not get rid of the siding material? I am using the default "siding-6" wall type just like the rest of the exterior walls Thanks in advance
