Thanks. So I guess the answer is yes I do need to create a different material for each layout application and then tweak the values till they come out right. I guess it's not as hard as I thought to do all that. It's still puzzling that my first try was using 24x24 tile and I had an area 5' high and the values set at 0 or 12, I would think it would come out and a full tile on top or bottom and a half cut on the opposite I had to change the value to 13 to get it to eliminate that 1" cut at the top. Anyway, thanks for the help!

Thanks. Here is everything in the folder with the entire backed up plan. I figured it has something to do with the offset and angle as you are pointing out but there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to where those offsets are based. If they are both set at zero then i would think my 2x2 tiles would line up full at the top and bottom. And if this is the only way to adjust it then I would have to create new materials for every layout application. Seems like there would be an easier way. Thanks, Tile alignment.plan

I am wondering if there is a simple way of aligning the custom tile in a custom backplash? In the attached drawing I have created two custom tiles for this hypothetical shower. The big tile is 24x24 and I would like to have it go 5' up on the wall and then have a 12" deco strip of 2x2 tile and then more of the larger tile above that to the ceiling. Problem is I want a full tile on the top of the 5' high lower part, (the half cut would be on the bottom), and then start with a full tile on top of the deco strip. And my deco strip is 2x2 tile, I made it as a 12x12 square of 2x2 tile and yet it doesn't line up as full tile on the top and bottom edges... Tile alignment.plan

How do I fix the terrain under this covered screen porch?
-
That works, I didn't even know that was a thing. It drops my ceiling by about 4.375" but I'm sure I can figure out how to raise that. Or raise the whole roof so it still is the same height inside. Thanks,
-
No, that is just a paneling texture I put on the underside of the roof for the vaulted ceiling.
-
I am trying to figure out what I can do to fix this ceiling. I would like the main ceiling inside to go all the way but the shed roof outside seems to be getting in the way. roof_problem.plan

From what I can see, the free sketchup will not do lettering and I don't think I am in the mood to pay for it so I will have to find a way to work around this. Thanks!
-
Thanks guys. Very good. Looks like eventually I am going to have to quit avoiding learning a bit about sketchup.

Wondering if there is a way to make letters into polyline solids so that I can attach them to another solid to make an embossed look?
-
Thank you. I am just learning about moldings today... I see how it works now. Still seems odd that I can draw something and see it right there and block it and add it to the library and not have it come out the same way on the other end, but I'm sure there is a reason for it. Anyway, thanks for your patience.
-
Thank you. I don't see how to do that and, as usual, a search through the help files turns up nothing.

OK this time I did it with a molding profile. I made it into an architectural bloc added to library and when I insert it, again, it work on the main level of my project but in the basement and 2nd floor, only the countertop and sinks show up. I don't see a setting for the height of the molding profile from finished floor. Untitled 2.plan

OK thanks, I thought I was using all poly line solids but that makes sense, I must have made the base out of a countertop for some reason. Thanks,
-
It's weird, it works on the main level of the plan I have going but if I try to insert it in the basement or second floor it just appears as the sinks and faucets floating in air. The plan I am working on is too big of a file to attach. Thanks
-
I am having trouble with this block. I converted it to an architectural block then saved it to my library and then tried to insert it into a plan. the sinks show up in the plan but the cabinet is not there. All the right layers are on. I tried everything, (well obviously not EVERYTHING), I know it is something simple but can't figure out what I am missing. Untitled 2.plan

I have tried the log truss from the library. I remember I couldn't do much with it so I never went back but maybe I should revisit that. I figured out how to cut my log to length just by drawing and extruding some polyline solids to subtract from the log. What puzzles my more than anything is why sometimes I can move to an elevation and click on and rotate objects and sometimes I can't. After an hour of banging my head against the wall it works and I can't figure out what I did differently. Also, it would be nice if you could have an option to draw round roof and floor beams. anyway... off we go. Thanks,

Trying to figure out how to manipulate this upper cord on this log truss so that it meets the king post and bottom cord. Or how to do it right if it can't be manipulated. Seems like I have done this with log rafters in the past but I can't figure out how... Log truss.plan

Converting the top to a symbol doesn't seem to be an option but changing the lines to white works... seems like there should be a better way but maybe that's how it is done. Works for now. Thanks,
-
One more question, on the attached drawing, how do I get it so on the plan view it just shows the lines that are showing? I don't want to see the legs through the top on the floor plan. I exploded it and brought the sinks to the front and that worked OK but I can't get the top to come to the front or the legs to go to the back... Thanks again for all the help with this. Vanities.plan

Wow. thanks!
-
I managed to draw a rough outline of the piece of furniture I need to place. This will get me close enough for the design. What is the trick to getting this to be an architectural block that I can put in the library? Vanities.plan
-
Well I managed to draw what I need, at least in a crude fashion. Now it doesn't let me create a block with it to add to library... What am I missing there? And why are some symbols or blocks, when I pull them out of the library, explodable and some are not?
-
Yes!!
-
Thanks! At least I can stop banging my head against that wall.
