Look carefully at " Edit - Default Settings - Dimensions" and its tabs.

DJP

The "type" shows ONLY in your "schedule" but NOT in your "label".

DJP

My advice is to trust Chief's programing. It has sustained my business as is since 1994 just fine.

DJP

However you decide to do it, just DO IT.

DJP

JUST DRAW IT IN MANUALLY.

DJP

Using the adjust material definition tool, it has a tricolored icon, You select that icon click on the screen material in a camera view and then you can adjust the translucence of the screen to make it more like screen so it's not just totally solid OK?

DJP

No, not yet anyhow. Sorry you are. You might try a different browser...

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?

Will pix plant recreate the products texture so it looks more realistic on the house

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 

Send me a copy of your .plan file and I will fox the roofs, I charge $75.00 per hour.

Sincerely
