COLOR CONTROL DJP

You can of course use no background or you can choose a different background that creates the effect that you want or you can adjust the intensity of the sunlight which reduces the amount of glare coming through in the windows. DJP

Library browser is a tool that has settings in “edit-preferences-library browser” and outside of that it's just a matter of what you tell it to do, it does so I would just recommend that you get more familiar with the library browser and its settings and tinker around with it until you're a little bit more comfortable with it OK? DJP

No, you use "Pix Plant" as a manual tool creating what you need by tweaking and adjusting its appearance. DJP

manually using custom molding profiles and symbols. DJP

NOT programmed to do that, sorry. Must do manually. DJP

More study and practise is the only useful advice to offer you. DJP

Manually edit the main roof to then allow a wall to exist, then in the "attic" manually create your wall. DJP

Walls - Normal - Attic Wall, the "attic wall" setting, found as part of the "General Tab", places the so marked wall on the "Attic Wall" layer operationally. DJP

You need an image of several pieces of siding to use as a custom material, not just one piece to get the effect you want or make one. DJP

Try your Yellow Pages for where the home is to be constructed for a state licensed structural Engineer and share with them using AutoCAD exported views of the plan and elevation views. DJP

I can help you but I charge by the hour...let me know. DJP

Me too! DJP

Post a copy of the plan file, please. DJP

In an elevation camera view it and every other camera view and plan view each has their own "Display Options" dialog where in the plan view or camera view named layers can individually be checked ON or OFF. Your Wall Layer Names layer is obviously ON in the Display Options dialog for that view you are sharing. DJP

I agree with "DB" in that temporary dimensions are programmed to do what they do and I know of no way to reprogram them. So what you can do is to study the Dimension Defaults you DO have and work with those as intended (programmed) . What is there gives you lots of elbow room for customization within its basic programming: it is up to you to learn that programming, controlling and custom use. DJP

You can uninstall - reinstall your print drivers making sure you have the latest ones and see if that helps. Your driver should offer the various print sizes via a dropdown menu in its dialog. DJP

Of course not, until you successfully create something one travels from unknowingness to then knowingness or competence. Every one has to do this, to walk this hill. You have lots of free resources (Chief, YouTube, and other sites with helpful videos). Take it a piece at a time: first go to the Chief website and "search" using the term "curved roof" to start. Sudy the results and then create a useful product then on to the next needed items till you obtain your desired effects. DJP

Unless you have set up "Auto Rebuild Framing" you thereafter must manually reorder framing to be rebuilt after making 3D changes like adding wall penetrations like windows and doors. DJP

In an elevation camera you can draw temporary CAD lines that you can precisely dimension and use to locate the column's centers as you wish. DJP

Practice altering the indicated fields in the active camera's dialog box. DJP
