Anyone seen something like these available. The garage door is a Wayne Dalton, but not in their 2021 bonus library. Not sure about the entry door.

I know I ran across this before, but don't remember the fix. What do I need to do to make the layout elevations print darker? It is printing the elevations too light. . The floor plan does fine.

In my area at least, standard exterior doors and windows are measured to the center of the opening with the exception of the garage doors which are measured to the sides of the door. This is what I was hoping to automate, but I have a feeling something has to be set at the symbol level telling the software to dimension to the side. Foundations would dimension to the rough opening of the garage door. I have to do this manually now, not a big deal, but would be nice if it was automated.

Is there any way to automatically dimension garage doors to outside of doors while dimensioning other openings to center?

Nevermind.... Found it

Are they moved to another location?

I wasn't able to find a way to send the symbol. Will this .plan work with the railing in it.8 inch railing .plan 8 inch railing .plan 8 inch railing .plan

I will try to find the library symbol to send you.

it seems to be just a wall type I saved in the library. it is an 8" rail that I made with the correct size beam and posts. Weird I can't use it in 13x. I went trhough some other symbols and they opened fine, so I suspect it is just something that corrupted that symbol. I will redo it Hopefully the others all come across fine. Thanks for the insight!

It is trying to load a picture of the symbol in the 3d preview window and then crashes. I have a drawing someone shared with me in the latest version of home designer and can't open it in x12. Wish I could as working out these kinks is taking time. Any easy solutions? Thanks!

Ed, Thanks so much. Will the rest of the migration stay the same (libraries, layout template default, etc)?

Anyone know how to get my standard x12 toolbars to be set up in x13. It is really stripped down.

For example I have drawn a Jack and Jlll bathroom that I would like to save to the library for easy future use. Anyway I can save it along with the various walls involved to the library under the name Jack and Jill where I could quickly find it to use in the future? I tried putting it on a new plan by itself, but the option to make it into a block so I could then add it to the library didn't appear.

Another short cut I didn't know! Thanks!

I did not know this! Thanks!

You are right! saves a step. Thanks!

Too funny, I found my own answer. Use the transform replicate dialog that appears when you select something and then enter the x or y distance you want to move it. Duh! I use this dialog several times a day to move things around on elevations. Don't know why I didn't think of it here.

Is there a way to stretch a plan using edit area where you could enter a distance you want the selected are to move? I have been using the arrow keys on my keyboard to stretch it and it will move it an inch at a time. I need to move 13' in different areas of the house so I prefer not to do it an inch at a time. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Oh these seem interesting and different. Going to have to find some videos of their usage. I have a Windows Laptop. i assume you are working with Mac with the IPad, right? I don't think it would work with my laptop? Thanks!

This sounds pretty much the way I am set up only I only have the left and right click and the wheel.

I looked at this. Looks interesting. Does the wheel work to zoom in and out and pan when you push on the wheel?

I could see this being handy if you could assign wall types to different keys, are you able to do that? What sorts of things do you assign to your 12 keys?

I am using a HP Multi button and wheel mouse on a mouse pad. Old school but it works for me. Do you use something you like better.

I am so sorry to put this here, I am a little desperate and tried the industry resources area and didn't get a response. Thought I would try to see if any of you have had the same problem and the solutions you found. Thinking perhaps Georgia or Alabama truss companies could help, but I am swamped and have limited time to track down ones that can take on more work. Our local truss companies are overwhelmed and turning away work. We must have truss sheets that are windloaded and designed for Florida for the permitting process. Are there any truss companies that have availability and ability to do Florida trusses? It's crazy these days. What used to take me a week to get is now taking 6 weeks just to get a quote,. Any then another four weeks to get the truss sheets. Any help trying to find a solution would be wonderful!
