You can look at a ERV set to pull it's intake from the room with the mini and circulate it to the other rooms as well to use it as a hepa filtered central system as well.

Did you happen to use the planning tool to start that design? If so a layer that shows the original blocks stays on the attic level.. kind of looks like that.

Welcome to the forums. You will hear this soon but please take the time to fill out your signature line with your specifics. It will help others help you. As far as your garage scenario it is very common. This has been discussed many times on the forum. Try searching for terrain, garage, model, symbol, etc. The gist is you make a 3d symbol out of the garage and put it in your house plan file as a symbol on the terrain. Keeps the model size smaller so as to not slow down your computer.

As mentioned above your roof planes are set @ varying heights and below ground. Please do yourself a favor and try auto roofs. It is a really easy plan for auto roofs.

Very true if the roofs are set to the correct height...

Of course this is with automatic roofs but looking at the picture I would venture a guess this was drawn manually???

I have seen this in various different areas and have used it in some island cases. The issue with this is it only really works if you have less depth on the cabinets on the backside as otherwise you are getting too wide for most solid countertops. But to answer your question I do two different methods. I usually do a Base filler there set to 3/4" deep if its closed toe or 3" deep if not closed toe and end the wall at the backside of that cabinet base filler This will report as a filler just like any others. The second method I have done is setup a 6-12" (depending on cabinet manuf.) deep base cabinet(s) the whole width of the island and put in shelves or doors, or whatever is needed for that particular job.

Side to side would be much better suited to use the reverse plan tool.

Select the polyline solid in plan view and note what the layer it is on is, then in the "full overview....3d" mode turn that layer on.

Try to open the ceiling plane and change the material back to default. BTW Use of the material spray painter tool should be used with alot of caution if you are new to the program.

You know what else will apply the wood grain correctly is the Shelf tool. Also a lot faster when building a shelf.

VERY INTERESTING Still processing that to see if I like that... Can see both sides. Curious why they changed it.

Always understood it was due to room types? For example if you have a covered porch room attached to an exterior sided wall, or a garage, etc.

The Shelf next to that cabinet is seen by the program as a cabinet. When you placed it originally it most likely was against that shelf and may have been slightly out of alignment either before or now with the cabinets on the other side of the full height cabinet. The shelves tell the system no crown molding to be applied and the cabinet thinks that it is going to continue the crown molding on that cabinet. As mentioned in that case you are able to pull the shelf back from the cabinet just a tiny bit to get the crown molding.

Open the wall and look at the definition of that particular “WALL TYPE”.

Just thinking out loud here but maybe a ceiling plane and mark the wall as cut by roof below?

In your case @gmdesigns45 it is probably because you have the shelf up to it so it sees another cabinet touching it. Try pulling the edge of the shelf back slightly from the back of that cabinet, or use the molding line method mentioned previously.

Search for how to use molding lines.

Question that might help with the answer until you upload plan file hard to see. But is your loft on an actual floor or are you using the attic “floor” to out in a window?

If you are looking for square footage which works with everything that is not sheet goods like carpet or resilient flooring then throw a room finish schedule on the plan and make sure the room areas is one of the columns.

When you say border do you mean just a line as in a box around it? You can use the Cad tools and get as fancy as you want or if you want each view to show the box around it you can turn on the layout box layer.

Those circles are your Elevation Camera callouts showing and not a marker. Select all four of them and look at the Plan display tab especially paying attention to anything that says size on it.

I believe the intention was to use filters to find items and use your user library for items that you have built yourself or customized for your needs.
