Wow! thanks very much Rene, that's an amazing tool/s!!! Just what I needed. I have been on your site before on the forum and taken advantage of some of the free symbols, thanks. Also your crews designer show, never got signed in live, but always make sure to watch every episode as learn so much from it! Actually was planning on reaching out sometime in the next month or so, as I'd like to do a a bit of customization stuff with you. So hopefully that'll pay you back a little. As truly appreciate everything you do for us Chief users!

Thanks for those links, I actually just watched that top one recently.

How do you all find textures (preferably seamless seems to be the best ,as looking to show in 3D PBR) to make custom materials? Is it just a Google search? Or is there a good dedicated site? Free, or paid would be worth it. As I've made some custom materials for composite deck boards, patio pavers, stone walls etc with ok success, usually just from a sample swath off the manufacturer's site. Now was looking for a concrete broom finish, but there's endless on Google, and none seem to transfer in to CA well without getting blown out.

Ah ok, thanks for clarifying Rene. I thought that was the drawback was Android doesnt have lidar (like apple). I'll keep a go with my tried and trued hand/ laser measuring process until this/ other As-built measuring software proves more real world user friendly.

I 2nd Steve Nestor. When I dived into CA a few years back I did some upfront training with Steve. You wont go wrong with him, as he is a consummate professional, super fair pricing, and has all the Chief knowledge you'll ever need. Along with one of the most important items (imo) knowing the tricks/ workarounds to get your plans looking the way you/ your client desires.

Does Canvas have an option (yet) for us Android users?

Just downloaded these backdrops. Thanks so much for taking the time to share them Steve, they're great. Much appreciated!

Ok thanks for the info Michael. Ya I looked everywhere and did searches but couldnt find a default setting to turn this off. I always do a border/ picture frame, but do the blocking for it different (than Chief's auto build). Good for those who like it that way, but for me I'll have to delete them. Will have to do at end before i send to print/ layout, as i deleted those framing blocks when they first came up as I built the deck, but then as I made edits to deck footprint with auto rebuild frame on they came back. Little nuisance but I'll make it work.

Trying to find (assuming there is one?) a default setting to turn off auto blocking on deck joists- the cross blocking it adds for a border plank. I deleted one of the blocks, and could obviously delete all, but I do border blocking a different way so would prefer to not have this blocking be auto generated each time a deck is framed/ re-framed.

Got it, thank you very much Robert! She put up a bit of a fight but I overcame. As stated was trying to manipulate it in a default setting, vs thinking about just manually editing the roof plan, as you remined me off. Thanks for clarifying how you can alter items on the selected roof edges.

Is there a way to extend gable fascia past (~6") the eave fascia? As shown in homes as-built picture. So gutter abuts gable fascias extra length. Cant seem to find a setting in roof defaults to allow this... Thanks in advance
