Thank you Joe. Seems like I can never have it all! Very appreciative as always for your help

Outside casing only works if your using casing. I'm using lintel for the top trim and sill for the bottom. I don't want casing on the sides.

I put the window shutters in and a lintel and sill for the trim above and below the window. The problem is the lintel trim interfere with the shutters as per the attached picture. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Everything seems to show up and is working the way it should on my system. I put in a few can lines and put them on cad 10 and cad two and it seems to be fine.

Thank You Jon! I did it before but its been so long I forgot.

Does anyone know where you enter in the window manufacturer into the window schedule?

I agree with this. It is really easy to do and it will automatically frame accordingly for you floor framing when you do the sections. I have done it a few times with roll in showers.

Toby, Do you use that material from the noble company to do your shower pans? I haven't found a product on the market I trust yet because I have torn out a lot of badly installed showers. I always insist to hot mop and concrete float the pan and the walls. So I was just curious because this seems like one of the best systems that I have seen so far but it also looks like its more time consuming and more expensive than concrete. Not sure?

Agreed

After thinking of this question. It is really not a big issue to me. I just select a color from the color chart in the library. Not expecting an answer.

Michael, I understand what you are says but the silliness seems mostly to be in the part of the programing team. I would like a direct question answered but I'm not getting it. Can what I'm asking for be done? Can CA make it so when I select a room (without using poly lines) that it will generate all the materials for that room? Or is it to complicated? It tells you the ceiling drywall, why not the walls? Also what about the electrical? It calculates the plumbing, doors, windows and everything else. Doesn't that seem silly to you?

Does anyone know if there are any stucco manufacturer libraries available anywhere?

I realize that there are work-a-rounds but you should be able to select a room and get a complete materials list otherwise whats the point in even having a rooms materials list? I can calculate the materials list on paper faster than doing poly lines or other creative Ideas. I guess I need to post another suggestion in the suggestion box but I thought we had all covered this before in a earlier conversation and I assumed that CA would come up with a fix in X8 but they did not.

I thought it might get fixed with Chief 8. Its not like we haven't had this discussion before.

Using CA version 8, When I select a room to calculate the materials the correct amount of drywall does not come up. It doesn't appear to be calculation the walls (only the ceiling). Am I missing something here?

I never notice the "Help" at the bottom I guess I need help to find help!

The rainbow tool was the save of the day for me! My customer really like my design presentation! Thank You!

Yes, I ran into most of these similar situations. I like the lintel and sill option the best but like Ben said you need to build that bottom profile and them it works great! Thank You for all the input

I bet Joe Carrick could do it with a cabinet. That guys does amazing things with cabinets!

This may be a stupid question but can that be built as a room with windows instead of poly solid?

Because I only want top and bottom and casing doesn't give you that option from what I can see.

That worked Great!!! Thank You!

Can I change the texture of stucco to smooth?

Thank you Joe! I was using the poly line solid and things were not working right. I rebooted my computer and the program and now its all good. Not sure what happened. Thank you for the tip on using the lintel and sill to do my trim that I need. I don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place.

Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to add Architectural foam trim at bottom and top of a window? It seems like everything I do seems awkward to use. I would like it to look like stucco when I'm done. Seems like this should be easy and a very basic thing to do so I must be missing something! Any help would be appreciated.
