    I open the skm with sketchup> apply texture to surface>Screen capture> make texture seamless and export as JPG or whatever and import to CA as material. You can make a collection of textures you use all the time. Here is an example I grabbed one .skm file BaltimoreWall_ChamplainGrey1 from that site and made a texture, added pattern to it and here it is. BaltimoreWall_ChamplainGrey1.calibz

    Cut the railing before the landing and continue, I think that would solve your problem.

    It's time consuming but it gives a clean appearance when you display it

    I been making half walls out of interior wall, making psolid cap and matching stair incline and making a railing following the stairs and making a symbol and putting everything together.

    Its called Lattice Creator...and there is another one called Lattice-izer this one is good to make custom lattice, custom railing panels, etc.

    Here is another one with slats on the angle. Lattice Vertical Slats.calibz

    Here is one I made a while back, 4'x8', 1 1/2" thick 1 1/2" opening. If you need I can reduce it to 3/4 thick or make you any size you want... I have a lattice plugin tool. Lattice.calibz

    Did anyone encounter this. Wall snap to the wall and they will not break away until about 3'10-3'11 away from it. Or if I make a slight adjustment to the stairs it will snap to a wall across the hallway that is 36" away from the stairs? It does that even with snaps unchecked Did I select something in settings by mistake to cause this type of behavior?

    Thanks guys, I didn't know that (never had a need to do that) I thought it can be done, mixed up with other software, I guess opening another plan like others suggested would be the way to go and switch between the two.

    Put new terrain on its own layer and you can flip between them

    Hi guys, I was reading this post and I never checked this settings, been using what ever it was out of the box. So now I looked at it since Joey mentioned print sheet set up and this is my advanced options which are unchecked and it set to "mm" and I don't have anything set to metric is this normal? If not what setting should I have there and if I have to do the change someplace else like in defaults or layout? Thanks! Appreciate the help.

    You don't usually do crown that way. 99% of the time when a taller cabinet is used that cabinet will be 15" deep so the crown can die right into it. Even with inset doors, the crown will not work most of the time because the cabinet frame reveal is only 1 1/2 - 2" max .

    If you saved the plan and you still have the plan open in CA it will not upload.

    You can also create a line style with CRWN text to indicate what that is using smallest dash line settings.

    There was a bunch of things on top of one another. This is should be fixed now if you didn't figure out by now MORGAN_AS_BUILT.plan

    Steve did you try making a manual stair select follow stairs and converting that to symbol and putting on top of the sloped wall. It's a little time consuming but works out good. That being said, you right, stairs need total overhaul in every way possible.

    If you copy one of the rafters do point to point and move to the the end of the ridge, select that rafter and swap dimensions the depth will be 1 1/2" and width will be 9 1/4" and make adjustments. Here is the plan ROOF fix.plan

    I made it in Sketchup. For some reason they don't have gas valves and no other 3D site has them (have no idea why).
