Yes, look in your Library Browser "Roofing - Metal", if you mean additional choices, please check here: https://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/library&search=&x=0&y=0&x=true&soft_family_2=2&hid_soft_family_2=2&utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign= DJP

Just draw the decks, period. Use the deck railing tool, easy! Try it and see what happens DJP

I could not find any settings to completely solve your problem in that the cabinets are programmed to meld together. I think Scott Hall's solution for question one would be a Poly Line solid or just a custom slab to emulate the inner style extension. The crown mold I believe would require two steps: 1. a custom molding profile applied to the top of the cabinet and 2. Poly Line solids to emulate the triangular objects manually place in intervals to the applied custom crown molding profile. I am sorry you are rather new and these procedures may seem foreign to you but you need to learn how to create these kinds of objects. DJP

What you describe is weird (I have never seen this myself, ever) so my advice is to contact Tech Support for help finding out what you are doing wrong or ineffectively. Rather than merely calling Tech Support you might submit a copy of your plan along with your complaint report so they have all the data. DJP

Look in "Edit - Preferences and or Edit - Default Settings" for settings that control "Library Browser". DJP

Appliances are not programmed to show in a cabinet schedule, only cabinets show in cabinet schedules. DJP

Chief doesn't "mess up terrain", end users do that. When you have a problem to solve, it is your problem, not "Chief's" DJP

I did not notice this in X1-X8, sorry. DJP

Harry, the way I have always created screen windows and doors is to customize the material "Glass Block" by making the glass blocks much smaller, adjust the customized materials "Translucence" found under that material's "Properties" and then apply that customized material to the "Glass" of windows and doors that I want to look like screens. DJP

As stated in the Reference Manual when you resize a CAD block or symbol block using the edge handles you afterwards cannot unblock the CAD block or Symbol block. However if you use the corner handles to resize the blocks then you can block and unblock them after relationally resizing them. DJP

You should try doing a search at 3D Warehouse for such appliques , I think custom appliques is the direction to look. DJP

What CAD detail? Where? Please be more specific. DJP

Delete it and use something else. DJP

The key point about exporting layout pages is scale. If you export a layout view from the layout, it is exported at the scale of the layout page (paper size) which then makes the recipient have to guess what the scale is. What I always do is to open the layout, double-click on the views I want to share, when opened in plan view I then export the view at a scale of 1' = 1' where the recipient then does not have to guess the scale. I also send the recipient a copy of the layout printed to PDF for reference, works for me. DJP

The layout file is useless without the associated plan files you sent to it, download another PDF printer and try again on your PC or Mac. DJP

Please contact me, I have all Home Designer versions and titles. DJP

I think the key datum is "Engineered Trusses" Chief Premier is not an "Engineer" so unless you are a licensed Structural Engineer qualified to design trusses, what does it matter at all to anyone other than Structural Engineers? DJP

I would recommend switching to the "All On Set" and open its "Display Options" to make sure ALL layers are checked "on", once the text reappears you can then find out what layer that text is on. There can be no other answer. DJP

Edit - Preferences DJP

Not sure if you should have posted this in Suggestions but no method I know of unless all the floor levels of the first floor are the same. Usually they are not the same, often the garage is lower than the house. In such cases one manually adjusts the stem walls and footings unless of course you are a State Licensed Structural Engineer allowed to design foundations of course. DJP

The main difference between CA and AutoCAD is that AutoCAD is natively 2D and CA is natively 3D. so you can use 2D stuff in CA but it will never be anything other than 2D (will not show in isometric cameras)/ CA uses 3D symbols not 2D CAD blocks, that is the main difference. DJP

You can change the sun angle and sun intensity to control the size and darkness of shadows as well. DJP

Ditto DJP

I am rather sure that Eric and Yusuf both altered the roofs manually in terms of "How". No time like the present to start learning by trying-failing-trying-failing until you obtain a success. DJP

The stair dialog does not allow any glass panels at all. In order to have that condition you turn off the railings in the stair specification dialog and then draw railing walls on top of the edge of your stairs with the railing wall set to " Follow Stairs". When precisely done, that is the only solution. DJP
