I feel dumb admitting this but that right there is the simplest thing that in my 7 years of using CA I have never used as you just described. Like as I type this I am thinking to myself, how, how did I not know that? I used to mentally be like, ok 96" ceiling height, plus maybe 16-18" for trusses, 1" for tile, 4" for toe kick (all variable depending on what house I was working on of course) and adjust the height over and over until I got it correct. Sometimes the smallest things are the game changers. Thank you!

Does anyone know the logic/reasoning behind why a CAD Line drawn in a plan (i.e floor 2 of plan with a foundation, floor 1, floor 2), when converted to a Molding Polyline, will appear and live on floor 1 regardless of which floor the line is actually drawn on? I've spent years making molding polylines for vanities/cabinets/deco details on the foundation or second floor of a project and manually changing the height in the general tab of the polyline specifications to raise it up or down. Sometimes it takes a lot of math (whaaaa whaaaa, I know) to figure out where it needs to sit. Is there some magic setting I have been unaware of this whole time? So many other things have a reference height drop down, but not this. I'd love to place a vanity, place a molding polyline and when I set the height at 4" know it will show up right at the toe kick line of the vanity I'm working with, instead of in the room below or above. :-( Molding Sample.plan

Thank you Christina! I am sad it is a real thing but also glad I haven't lost more of my mind that previously thought...

Did a quick browse/search and don't see where anyone else has posted about this. Has anyone run into imported materials not stretching properly (or as they previously did in X12 and backwards) in the new X13? I import a lot of custom countertops materials and previously when the material was set to stretch to fit, it would spread out nicely and create a fairly realistic interpretation of the material. In X13, the same material now has multiple directional face lines when on a surface that has a hole in it (i.e. a countertop with sink, etc.). I do remember seeing this same phenomenon in prior versions when I would use a custom tile material on a floor (for like a shower, but I always would undo the stretch to fit option because in those instances I *wanted* the repeating pattern.), but never on a countertop. The attached pictures are the same custom countertop size, sink, faucet and material...just one is x12 and one is X13. Both are using the Custom Countertop tool. I'm pretty sure this has to do with some of the new rendering coding, so maybe it is proper for X13, but I am hoping there is a way to get around it as it does not look good in presentations. Am I missing something easy?

I have had several PM replies, thank you very much everyone! :-)

Fellow CA Users - I am in need of a few custom macro's to be created (and dumb me provided with custom step by step instructions on how to load them), primarily for cabinet labels. I was wondering if anyone who is a whiz at doing this would be willing to work with me and create what I need, for a fee. I have spent some time reading through various posts made on the topic and to be honest, I am in no way, shape or form a programmer and just reading the posts about made my head explode. Based on the time I sunk into trying to make sense out of prior discussions, I have determined it is just better for me to pay someone. :-) If anyone has some free time (yes, I know I am grimacing and laughing at the same time...), please PM me so I can describe what I am hoping to accomplish. Thank you! Hannah
