Hi Rodney , sounds like you are a Home Designer User not a Chief User , there is a dedicated Home Designer Forum over here:  

 

https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/

 

 

But yes Transform/replicate is a Pro or Chief Tool , you can still use CAD lines and Dimension to them though.

 

see you over at HomeTalk.  (use the same ID and Password)

 

PS you will notice that all the other Posters to this thread have filled in their Profile signature with their Version/Year , and computer specs , this helps answer a lot of questions especially on Hometalk as there as at least 5 versions of HD..

 

Mick.

Thanks Mick, I was hoping there was a non professional forum.

Sincerely,

Rod Haynes

In your Dimension Defaults...Locate Objects panel, make sure Other Objects...Plants and Images is checked.

Thanks but apparently I don't have the option in HD Suite

I have a hand drawing depicting existing trees on a building lot.  I want to place/replicate those trees within my Terrain Perimeter. How do I locate those trees and shrubs in the drawing as I see no way to place measuring guides that stay in place?

Thanks.  Is "Transform/Replicate Object" a pro option as i dont see it in my "designer" program.

I am a new user. 

Is there a way to access and use guidelines similar to ones in G-Sketchup?  For instance I want to “Create Terrain Perimeter “ to reflect a jog in the actual lot line.  I want to “breakline” at 280’ on a 325’ line so I can reflect the jog but have no marker or indicator as to where 280’ feet is.  I can use “manual dimension” but any mark disappears when I let go of the mouse to go to the “line break” tool.  I assume I am missing a very simple tool or process but so far no luck in finding it.
