Susan That sounds like just what I need. But please pardon my ignorance. Tell me where to find Substance Player. I looked through all the menus on CA16 and did a search on the reference manual for CA16. But I cannot find it anywhere! thanks

Suan thanks that helped so much. I found the "Adjust Material Selections" button on the tool bar. Then clicked on the tile, and voila, there was the spot to change the angle. Perfect. thanks so much for taking a minute answer my question.

Morning I need help figuring out how to turn this herringbone backsplash tile to 45 degrees. Thanks so much!!

thanks Guys!!

I am designing a large church building for which I need to find a symbol in 3d for the seating. Not a pew, but a theatre type seat like this one below. I cannot find library in CA anything like this. What can I do? thanks

thanks I had thought to do a 3d solid as a last resort unless someone had more of an automatic suggestions. I thought if I specified it as an "end truss" and Chief saw that it was open, it would put siding on it. I appreciate the response.

I am having trouble figuring out how to put siding and trim on a truss. I made it an end truss and an attic truss. CA put the vertical studs but how do I add siding and trim to this. I need a 1x6 along the plane of the lower roof and hardi between. Also how do I put a soffit plywood on the overhang cantilever trusses above the porch? thanks Elliot

I am working in CA16. I finished drawing a 1 story house with a full basement. I set the foundation defaults as 8" concrete stemwall 96" tall with footing and a 4" slab for a floor. It worked fine on the house. Then I drew a single story addition on the rear of the house for a master suite. But it did not draw a foundation. How do I get chief to draw the correct foundation just under the new addition totally different from the rest of the house. This area needs to be 24" stemwall with footing and no slab. thanks folks!!

thanks I will study that. Everything you said goes over my head. So I will study and learn....

I imported a 12x24 Portobellow Portofino Mist from the mfg website but it only had an image of just one tile. Not an image of several in a pattern. So I captured it, created a new material and edited it in the materials. In the screen showing the edit options it lets me designate it as 12x24 and I select "Grid Offset" but in the little 3d cube showing what it will look like it just shows it as a grid with no offset. then when I paint it, it shows the same grid with no offset. I cannot get it to do the offset grid at all. I can change angle, size, and offset amount in the dialog box but in 3d cube it stays as a grid. What am I doing wrong?

Here is the plan. The hardi is fine on the exterior and shows drywall on the interior in other parts of the house. But in the master bathroom and bedroom, it shows hardi on the interior. thank for the help. Gustafson remodel.plan

I am working in X16 but I had the same problem in X15. I draw a house, with Exterior-6 walls for exterior walls. Interior 4 and Interior 6 for interior walls. I have hardi siding assigned as the cladding of the exterior 6 walls and drywall for interior side. But CA keeps putting the hardi on BOTH sides of the wall. Now its putting hardi on both side of the interior 4 walls. I don't know it until I look at a 3d or wall elevation. I checked my defaults for walls and they show drywall on the interior of the exterior walls and drywall on both sides of an interior wall. In the past the only way to fix it was to delete the wall and create a new wall but I am hitting my frustration limit over this now. Please tell me I am doing something wrong and not that CA has a serious glitch.

thank you guys
