Wondering what the best way to make some custom stairs are? I've tried using the stair tool but I think I need a different approach for this shape? I've attached a plan view picture of the shape I'm looking for.

T.I.A for the help.

Do they make a 7" thick glass block IRL?

I guess what I'm really trying to do here is get rid of the ledge part. As I want this to be flush on the exterior.

Looking on how I can adjust the thickness of this? I used a fixed door with glass slab but it's limiting it to a 4" thickness. Would like to have a 7" thickness. 

T.I.A for the help.

I gave it a shot...I did have to manually draw in the roof return. I placed notes on the roof plan view of this drawing;

Here is the file; _ExistingHouse - fix plan.plan.zip

 

I just noticed you used rafter when you did this. Can I continue with using rafters even though the renovation will be with trusses? Or what is the best way to transfer back to the use of trusses?

Thank you for the roof notes. I did not catch that cricket.

Thanks for the help everyone! Good to know for future, that it is something you have to manually do.

yes each "block" is just a fixed door

 

Hmm okay I did the fixed door for each block but it's only allowing me to have a max of 4" thickness. I've attached a photo what I got, but not sure how to make it full wall thickness?

did you click on the porch railing, go to roof settings and click dutch gable?

Yes, nothing happened for me when I did that.

I'm trying to get the dutch gable roof over the front porch, similar to the front of the garage but can't figure out why it won't work.

I've attached pictures of what I'm trying to replicate as well as the file.

use fixed glass doors. you can mull them together and they will report to schedule:

Did you create each block separately and then put them together to create a larger window?

Thanks for the help.

Did you have to do anything to get the lines to show in the blocks to make it look like grout? 

I'm trying to create a custom block window and I am not too sure how to go about achieving this. I've attached an image of exactly what I'm wanting to recreate for a window. Any helpful hints or being pointed to a forum that will help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

When I go to add a backdrop it doesn't appear on the perspective view or in the rendering once I ray trace. I have the layer turned on, but still can't figure out why it won't appear. Tried searching the forum but can't find anything. What would be causing this not to appear?

Thanks

I think you will actually need to do what I originally suggested and not use a doorway and use a 2nd level to define the top of the doorway and a room divider to create the opening.

 

Okay thanks, so anything above the door opening would be a new floor? Not sure if you can help with how I would then go about making this wall (photo attached), if everything above the door opening is considered a 2nd level. I've also attached a photo of how the actual roof sits in relation to the wall.

Not quite, I'm trying to get the right side of the 6568 opening to be a 45 degree angle, but it just ends up being square instead.

I'm trying to make a door opening with an angled wall on one side (see attached photo), but everything I've tried ends up being squared off. Any tips how to create a door opening with an angled wall?

Thanks
