that was from the tutorial. I can't find the Landscape Accents bonus Catalog Could you give me the link. I looked for it but cant find it. I also updated my catalogs but cant find it in CA's 3d library.

Looking for some landscape accents to edge a garden bed with some bricks or stone. I found this in a tutorial but can not find it? Thanks

I justust figured it out by changing wall type from concrete to siding.

I can't for the life of me figure out why I cant change the exterior backside of the basements wall material. I need to put siding on some sections but for some reason it will not allow me to do this? Very strange because I can change the exterior sidewall material in the basement. I have been trying for an hour. Please HELP! It's driving me crazy ! Plan is uploaded: Thanks Tony_House2 .plan

Could anyone help me get started on a way to accomplish a Paver Terrain sloped pathway. Leading from top to the back patio? I watched the (Siteplan & Landscaping Part 2 – Breckenridge Home Design) But not sure if this is the best way to go about it. Any starting pointers would be appreciated. I have included picts of what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks

Thanks !

Thanks for the help. It was truly a pain but I think I have it worked out. Although not as perfect as I would like. I would think there would be an easier way to control those cured retain walls.

There is a "Patio" Room type in CA but I cant find any info on it. In reality the area I'm working on would actually define as a "patio" but need to change it to porch to get it to work properly. Not sure why. I will continue my search on more info about this. Thanks

Thanks Im getting close, I did watch a video and figured out the curved terrain. Thanks for all your help. No info on the patio and porch, I did google. Anyway that is what was screwing with the wall earlier (disappearing) Once I changed it from patio to porch the wall would not disappear thanks again. Also I think the etched line on the Retaing wall is the footer of the wall.

What tool are you using to make the curved region? I cant seem to locate. Also do you now the difference between porchs and patios in CA. And why they act different?

Would you mind uploading the plan you did that in so I can take a close look. I still can't get it to work. thanks

I appreciate all the help! But i am trying to make the retaining wall follow the curvature of the back side of the patio. Something like this: but as you see it gets funky. Thanks

Thanks for all the help. I agree videos are the best. After walking away for a while to get my head straight your video was very educational. I really appreciate your help. Thanks!

Yes you are right. First of all thanks for the help earlier adding, a thin surface to to patio concrete worked great.

What would be the best and easiest way to go about building a retaining wall for the pictured area. I have tried both"retaining walls and terrain walls" but get unwanted results. Plan is loaded up above in the topic stream.

When changing the floor surface material (to Concrete stain) on the backyard patio, some of my foundation walls in basement disappear? Any help would be appreciated. I have included the plan file, without the material change. Thanks Tony_House2_.plan

Is there a way to ungroup Sketchup models inside of CA? I have included the file I'm trying to ungroup so I can move each item individually. Thanks Interior_Furn_WickerSet01.skp

Thanks Thanks for the help but it still does not work for me. I give up Thanks

This is what I'm trying to accomplish.

That did not work. In your original response above what did you lower the pitch of the 2 wall too? I lowered then to 3" Thanks

I must be missing a step. Because I followed your instructions and get this: Not the same as yours?

Still can't get this to work for me. Not sure why I'm having so many problems. I did lower the height of the window but cant get things to line up. If I could duplicate "glennw's" work I would be good to go. I can't get it to auto generate as "glennw" did. I have uploaded a new plan. Any help and an explanation would be much appreciated. Thanks Tony_House2.plan

I can't seem to figure this roof section out. Can anyone help me straighten this section out. Not sure how to accomplish this. A thorough explanation would be appreciated as I am new to CA I have included the Plan file. Thanks JIMMY Tony_House.plan

Works Great ! Thanks

I am referencing an imported PDF drawing to trace my plan. Is there a way to make the exterior walls semi transparent (in the palm view) so I can see where to place windows and doors. I tried to make the wall (invisible) but it then won't let me place doors or windows. Hope that makes sense.
