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.

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

After successfully completing one "Gable over 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.

Thanks

Buid4copy copy.plan

Slowly getting there but I am struggling.

I have watched hours of the videos.

Thanks

Trying to get a  Shed Roof from the top
of the second floor wall to the top of the
first floor wall /
Shed Roof Spanning Two Floors

Any help would be appreciated,

I am new to CA and am having problems with this one.

If you could be specific it would be much appreciated

I have only been working with CA for 1 wk.

Thanks

Buid5_ShedRf.plan

Thanks very much

I feel stupid

I knew it was something I was overlooking

I was looking here:

I got it I was looking down lower in the dialog box under floor setting instead of the absolute value area.

Thanks

I appreciate that

Could you show me where and how you did that

I have been trying to figure this out for 2 hours

I just don't see where I can do this

Could you be a little more specific I am new to the program

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

"Open the terrain dbx and uncheck Hide Terrain Intersected by Building "

What is the "terrain dox"

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
