Success - Thanks Rene. After I located the 'Storage Box' (CA was not finding it the first time I tried - closed, open, found it) I saved the 'Storage Box' to User Catalog', Changed some dimensions and materials - Voilà

Got it - Thank you. I did try that before and looking for storage box but had no results come up. Closed and opened back up, and found it. How odd. Thank you!!

Rene, Wow - that sounds pretty easy However, I just tried that and I am using x16 on this one, and the Style Dropdown is not available from the Base Cabinet Specification: Appliance/Door/Drawer - Specify, then opens Drawer Face Item Specifications. Might you be using X17? Thanks - Drew

Great idea - thank you! And it would not take that much time to do.

Good day, Yes I suppose, however when the cabinet is actually built it will be a pull out shelf for a laundry basket to sit flat on. I guess kind of like a cutting board that is used as a flat pull out shelf with operable glides as a drawer. That is why I was looking to make it a flush top drawer. What I created is below. I suppose for Illustration Purposes I could leave it's look as a drawer if it can not be done to be a flush top.

Good day all, I've been looking through the Base Cabinet Specifications dialog and can not figure out how to take this 2" High Drawer and raise the Drawer Bottom up to create a Pull Out Shelf Any suggestions would be helpful, and also which would include it still being able to be viewed as 'Pulled Out'. Thanks - Drew

Good Job !!!!! I just had a client asking about something like this

Thank you - that is what I was looking for. I did fumble around with these setting, however I was not setting the proper dimensions for it to work correctly. That worked GREAT!

Thank you for the link - great info, and thank you for the explanation

Thank you - Doors No.3 Specialty are more of what I might call saloon doors and others not really suited for a kitchen pantry. Looking to adapt a 1-panel.

I will scroll through that again - I may have missed that.

Is there a way to create cafe doors? I can not figure out how to make any door panel smaller while maintaining a standard door opening. Thank you - Drew

With the Porch Barrel Roof made and saved as a Symbol into my Library, here is the next question. I did not think about this part prior - when the Porch Barrel Roof Symbol is placed into a Plan with a structure (home), and when connecting to or placing against the home....is there a way to drag the roof only onto the home to tie into (over frame) onto the roof of the home? I understand this probably needs to be an Architectural Block instead of a Symbol. However you can not include walls into an Architectural Block. Might there be a way to do this is suppose without the walls? Was looking for an easy way to use this when needed and then just drag the roof into position onto the structure of the home, Thank you. - Drew Porch Barrel Roof.plan

Well Scott.....that was pretty easy as I was trying to focus on the tool bar selection in the lower left. Wonderful! Good job! Thank you

Good day, I made a Porch Barreld Roof I would like to Convert to Symbol. Have I made one of the items incorrectly and it won't allow me to Convert to Symbol for later use? Not sure - how to correct Thanks in advance for any assistance... - Drew Porch Barrel Roof.plan

Good day, I'm not able to get these grout lines to be Horizontal - Camara View, Not Elevation View. It wants to do some offsetting. I've tried resizing the applied material to no avail - so I must be doing something wrong (UGH) Who might know how to remedy? I suspect it's easy, I'm just missing it. Thanks - Drew

Happy New Year Rich. Yes, I suppose with the vastly available architecture and design, everyone can have a flavor they can enjoy. It's nice, but not my first choice. It is unique. I was told the original builder/homeowner was from Europe and, from what I understand, imported much interior materials such as 1-1/2" thick black polished stone from Romania for some flooring, repurposed solid oak hand hewn floors from a salvaged barn somewhere for flooring also, and two bathtubs carved from stone which needed a crane to install, interior walls are all plaster, exterior stucco and stone. As well as an interesting AGA cast iron gas range with 4 oven doors. Different tastes for all I suppose.

I'll keep it easy and just make the living 15' ceiling with single story to the left and two story on the right.

Good day, I need to do a renovation on an existing home which I have the PDF prints of to place into Chief to draw. The home has varying interior ceiling heights. Most of the home has 10' ceilings. The living has 15' a ceiling - which is lower than the adjacent Master Bedroom wall it joins to. The question is: is it best to just make the living have a 15' ceiling, or do a second story with a shorter ceiling? Not sure which may be best? Thanks - Drew

Hey Jim, Well that was pretty quick and easy!! Yes, and Thank You. I was just missing that element of the equation. Good job - thanks again. - Drew

Good day, I am looking to make the deck board surface semi-transparent, to allow a slight visibility of the joist location below. This is a vector view with the material as Azek Sandy Birch (I know the color does not matter) Choosing a deck board, then 'Open object' and changing fill to anything renders no change. Is there a way to do this properly? Thank you - Drew

Of Course!!! That was the one thing I was missing in my searches - A NEW LAYER SET Worked Great!! Thanks again - Drew

Good day all, Is there a way to 'unlink' an item sent to Layout? I would like to unlink a 'to scale' deck framing image on layout page, and now add the surface material to it as an additional item sent to layout. When I add the surface material in Plan View, it automatically adds it to the deck framing on Layout. Even if I uncheck "Linked Saved Plan View". I would prefer to keep both 'to scale'. This happens to be done in X15. I suppose I could do as image and try to get to scale. Hmmmm Thanks for the help! - Drew

Yes to all the questions - I can go with that if I can not figure out something else. Thank you for taking the time. Have a great day! - Drew

Good day, I've created a privacy wall for a hot tub area using the railing tool. It is needed to have the wall off the ground, and a mid support post within the wall showing at the exposed area. Might there be a way to have the post to be coved both sides with the siding? I am currently not figuring that out. Thanks so much !! - Drew
