I am still struggling with this. Even when using the "Material Region" I get an unwanted result. (Pict#1) I am trying to get this result, which is done in Adobe AI (Pict#2) Looking for the easiest way to accomplish. Once again I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking. I have created a "Material" named Mural1_Pig, which is in the library. It is a PNG transparent file. I am just trying to get it on the exterior Red Wall. I am new to CA and need detail explanation. Thanks to All ! Buid6_Colr2.plan

I got to here but don't see where to select"Iron Railing"

It needs to match the Grey Blue siding for some reason the edge of the wall is matching the beige siding on the other wall.

Just trying to make this match gray siding. Cant figure out why this just wont work, Without jumping through hoops. Doesn't make sense the program would do this. Floor 0 Buid6_Colr2.plan

I found the Iron fence in the Library but how do I make that fence resize properly? To make it longer. It appears to be an individual model. Do I piece it together? I really want to put the Iron fence around the Widow Walk (Tower)

Wrought iron Fence Something like this. Where are those settings? I must be over looking them.

Is there a "Wrought Iron" Fence or Railing option built into the program. I searched all settings and library but can only find "Wrought Iron" Gates. Seems odd that would not be accessible from within CA. Thanks

Yes but that would depend if the Siding in CA is actually 3D. Is that applied on actual CA Siding? Thanks

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

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

They are now perfect! thanks

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.

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

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.

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

After successfully completing one "Gable over Window" is out possible to copy and paste that effect over the second window I think I am missing something I have tried a couple techniques but keep getting this:

I would like to thanks everyone for there help Specially Eric, Glenn, Marc and Larry The video tutorials you supplied are of GREAT help. It is true I was heading down a Rabbit Hole and overthinking things. Thanks again for the great videos.

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

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.

Wondering why tutorial videos buffer all the time? They must host on slow servers. I have 600Mb service It makes watching them most unenjoyable

Could you give me a little more direction I am new to CA Thanks

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. Trying to create this roof effect with no luck. I have tried the Dormer tool and building it manually Could someone explain or point me in the direction of a good video tutorial.
