  1. I would say no, there is no easy way to draw curtains walls in CA.  That said I think you could come up with some work arounds to make something work but it would likely take a considerable amount of manual work and effort. 

  2. William has the solution to reverse the one in the Library.  If you want one that isn't in the library start with this.  Edit to your desired variant.  Go to 3D view and:

     

    Use tools, symbol, convert to symbol

    Check advanced

    Symbol category is door

    Rotate 90 in the X

    Set smoothing to 1

    Name symbol

    Options select garage

    Add stretch planes in X

     

    Pull door panel from the library and test it.

    Mirror and repeat.

    For the big door create the whole door and after placing set no of panels to 1.

  3. I tried group selecting and a 24" move in the Z and got the same result for all roof planes.  But also got the odd plate height and heel height.  Try adjusting the porch ceiling to 166" and all will be as you expect.

  4. @GeneDavis Definitely looks like Twin Motion to me.  Mr Rabbit could confirm this.  Good camera work but the terrain could be better.  They lost me on the interior which is exhausting for not much to see.  Definitely looks like a Chief Model the way the stairs don't meet the deck correctly in the hands of a newer user.  But, the window muntins do not look like Chief as they are thick.  Why don't you email them and ask? 

  5. @CarudoI finished my presentation a while ago.  But I did try your Dakota 101 and it tiles pretty well.  With a color adjustment it is close to a toss up.  So where did you get these?

     

    @JonySkajler"In the old days" there were high resolution, very tilable Eldorado Image Files floating around on the Interwebs.  I can't find them now.  I am pretty sure I have them on an old hard drive no longer in my machine.  I don't understand why they would disappear or maybe I am just blind due to aging.

  6. Keep it on 1/16.  I actually set it to ten decimals so oddball dimensions really jump out and I can fix them as early as possible and along the way.  I stick with whole or half inches and always draw to snap grid.  I set snap to 1".

     

    If you set Dimension accuracy to 1/1 you are setting yourself up for a total disaster.  You could have a dimension that is actually 16' - 6 9/16" but it would read 16' - 7".  IMHO, this setting is for rookies with a messy drawing and dimensions.
