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!

K. tried my hand at this and it seemed to work ok but was cumbersome. Probably just a learning curve I don't have down yet. Isn't there a way to use notepad to create textures? Seems like I used a method like that before. Anyways, I have attached my notes on the method I used to get the modified 4-8 from you had sent me Perry so I could find what I did next time I need it. Thanks a bunch for the guidance you and Eric gave me. Chief Architect - Creating new material pattern for lap siding 4” 8” using 4-4-8.pdf

Perry or anyone else is there a 4" that alternates with 8" calibz file available. Need that this time instead of the 4"4"8" version. Thanks! Is there a video on how to create this available?

Thanks for the solution!

Thanks, both good ideas, but would they get me this look? When I tried it, I couldn't get the first step to curve around to the wall.

Hi All, What are you doing for LED lights that have replaced the recess cans we used to use in houses. Have you found a new symbol or is there a way to change the R to an L in the recess symbol in the library. Thanks!

Hi All, Is there a way to make the starter tread(s) go to just one side only? I am wanting 2 treads that stretch to the right of the staircase. Thanks a bunch!

That is the answer! Thanks!

yes. Haven't checked into x13 yet. Will when I have more time.

There are a few changes that have happened since my windows 10 update. The one that is bothering right now is there used to be a little faint red x that would help you line up walls that were close but not exactly in line with each other. Anyone know how I can get that working again? More later on the other things that are working differently.

Man, all of you are just absolutely awesome!!!!! Thanks so much for taking time to help me on this. After a refreshing weekend and your inspirations I have an idea of which way to go. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!!!

Love these ideas, Thanks a bunch!!!

Yes I put it on there yesterday. They are primarily giving me landscaping ideas instead of something for the house.
