Hi there - I have made some custom "decorative gable timbers" as 3D architectural blocks. I wondered if there was a way to add an insertion point or have it insert connected to the underside of soffit. Otherwise I have been just inserting and moving in the z axis which is no problem but wondered if there might be an easier now that I am going to be sharing my library of blocks with some other co-workers.

Good morning, I wondered if there was an easy way to do this sort of brick detail below the bay window shown in the attached image? I was going to manually draw 3D solids / copy and paste in the pattern but wondered if there might be another way. I don't do too many house with all brick / bay windows, so anything is helpful! Thanks in advanced!

Hi Rob, that's great thank you very much! I will try F12 but open / closing properties does help! Thank you for the quick reply! Maybe the issue will be resolved in a future version :).

Good morning, I have been using material regions as battens for my board and batten siding, and it has been a game changer / time save to cut around windows (thank you @robdyck for that suggestion). However when in a 3D camera view, whenever I go to edit something / change a material etc., the material regions seem to disappear / re appear. Is it because I have them as blocks in different areas? I have taken a screen share video to show the battens disappearing. Thank you in advance! Chief Architect - Material Regions Dissapearing - July 30 2024.mp4

Thank you both for your responses. @Alaskan_Son Do you know if I can change the "insertion point" once I Rotate the option in the axis I need? It seems to show on the plan view the same, but different in 3D if that makes sense? Here is an example; you can see when I bring the object into the plan view, it shows it flat on the floor, but the 3D preview is correct. thanks, Ange

Hi there, Is there a way to edit / update the saved objects I have in my user catalogue? I didn't realize when first creating objects for my user catalogue that they need to be facing forward on the plan view to be visible on the 3D preview pane. I have attached 2 examples, 1 was saved on an angle on the floor plan, and then other facing forward. I wondered if I could edit the object / rotate the plan view and it would update / save in my user catalogue so it would update the 3D preview to straight facing forward? Alternately I think I would need to bring the object into the plan / rotate it / then create a new object / delete the old one? thanks in advanced. Angela

Good morning - I tried to do this, and it didn't work for me. Do you know if there is a way the dog door will actually cut a whole in the man door? Thanks in advanced!
