  1. The term "skirt" is used as an example, is when you have a room lets say on top of a deck with vinyl siding and you enclose the sides of the deck using lets say a vertical siding, etc... the sided lower portion of the deck is called a "skirt" ... or another example is you have a sided trailer and you drop the siding down to enclose the under carriage, that lower portion would be called a "skirt".   

  2. The way I do it, I would go into your molding folder in the Library- select the molding you want to use> right click on it > Select> Place Molding Profile... and click on the screen... That will put your molding profile on the screen and you can do whatever you like with it. In your case spin the molding around and use Transform/Replicate and use Reflect Horizontally. I hope it helps.

  3. I can see the roof being a problem if a roof plane cuts the deck, but in this case roof plane is nowhere close to the deck, and the top of the ridge is way up there... that shouldn't be an issue. I thought it had something to do with the lack of support for the deck, but looking at the framing details, there is no way this deck can be attached the way it shows. I guess a s^*t load of manual framing has to be done to make this work and if you like to show the framing details.

  4. Just use CA , set the terrain, put the pool on top of it and do the deck around it use curved deck railing. You set defaults will automatically put posts, piers, beams. Being this round pool, you might have to make some adjustments to the beams and post. Just make it same way you build it in reality. Here is out of the box deck just to give you an idea.

  6. Rob the way I do something like this, is I make room moulding PL, in plan view I cut the needed section of the molding and select each cut section and in DBX select no molding on select edge for each section in your case around the fireplace, after that use P-line to outline missing molding section in your case it would be around the fireplace and convert that section back to Molding P-Line and select the moulding matching existing and change the material to whatever you need
