Got it! Where did you find the texture you used in your sample? Thanks

Thanks so much. I'll try nit now. HS

I am designing a play structure that uses rope. How do I create a rope shape that bends or sags. i assume that i will work with the cylinder, but don't know how to show it curved.

Thanks all; Here is DBox link to the file if anybody feels like taking a look. (Very complicated - for me - existing building)... https://www.dropbox.com/s/1a0yj4vezctahz9/Proposed 1_27_22.plan?dl=0 Thanks all, H

Thanks. Will do. H

Actually X13... Hi Charles; The program tells me the file is too big. Any suggestion on how to post it? Thanks, Henry

I used line drawing as it shows the problem most clearly. Thanks, Henry

BTW, this is a round, silo-like structure...

I am drawing a 3 story structure with vertical board and batten siding. The boards do not line up vertically between floors. What can I do to fix this? Thanks

Thanks! Too simple for me, I guess. BTW, I can't seem to get the Program to accept the jpg of my signature. Henry

You must mean options once I choose "Build New Floor". What should I be looking for? Thanks for your help.

I see 11 different options (I use X-13 on a PC).

Hi; I can't remember this ever happening before. I draw an addition off the ground level of an existing one story building and when I try to add an upper floor to it, CA adds a floor to the old building as well. Is there a setting issue? Henry Stone

Thanks, David. I'll give it try now. Henry

I have a layout page and would like to unlink it from its plan file so that it remains unchanged when I change the plan file. Must be basic but I can't figure out how to do it. Any tips?

Thank you both for your answers. You confirmed what I was suspecting; can't be done! I resorted to the small straight segments approach, with so-so results. Thanks, Henry

I am attempting to draw a building with a round turret that is intersected by a roof plane. I can't see how to render the curved roof edge where it meets the round turret. Any advice is welcome. Henry

Good morning Eric; thanks for your patience and I think I have finally got it! Now I can get to work on actually designing this, probably odd, structure. If you like I can send you a copy once I've done it. Best, Henry

I'm up against what seems a painfully rudimentary problem: in the window on the toolbar where you choose the floor to display I am only offered 0, 1, 2, A. How do I get it to offer me additional upper floors without using "add a floor"?

OK! I''ll see what I can do.

I hate to keep bothering you, but when I create a sample box like you did (and as I had done before), and then add a floor above it (third) the adjacent buildings also pop up. The buildings with the green roofs stay put but the walls around the greenhouse are the ones that pop up an additional floor or more depending on what I asked for.

Hi Eric; you make it look simple. The control alt V command is not what I knew. Anyhow, following your example I'll see if I can do what I wanted to do. Thanks so much, I'll let you know what happens. Henry

Thanks Eric; I saw that's what you demonstrated, but I can't make it work on my drawing. If you don't have it already I will attach it here and then if you have a moment, try putting a structure on the flat area next to the greenhouse and then add floors to it. Note that the addition wants to have a floor elevation the same as the greenhouse - 150. If you have the same difficulty as I have had then this will be a case of a picture being worth a thousand words. Once again I really appreciate your input. Henry Existing GH w proposed Tower.plan

Thanks Eric. The difficulty that I'm having is that when I try to create what is called a new third floor, above the "second floor" I put on the terrain next to the greenhouse (and has a the floor height of 150 to match the greenhouse) I seem to lose control of the process. The program adds another floor to all the buildings. I don't how to make it not do that. Thanks again for your help, Henry
