    cabinet doors

    You are asking about the distance from the back of the door to the face of the cabinet? I would simply spec the hinges to be used, not this distance. Typical hinges are adjustable in multiple directions. Why do you see a need to provide this level of detail?
  2. You can make the program happy by changing your wall definition. Add an exterior layer as shown here.
  3. The problem is how you have defined the porch walls. I'm not suggesting you did something wrong, only that the program does not work as you would expect. There are other ways of creating the screened in look. https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00748/creating-a-screen-porch.html If this is a new house, tell us more about how you see the porch being built. Is it more of a screened and covered deck? What type of foundation will it have? If it's an existing house, what's there now?
  4. Please post images directly -- no need to make a PDF of an image. Identifying the rogue roof plane will help. Showing a perspective overview with the problem roof planes a different color roofing makes it clear. Posting your plan file helps others to provide a solution instead of a guess.
  5. The shower needs to be a room. Enter -3" in the Floor field. You may need to delete your foundation first, then rebuild with the change.
  6. You could use the backsplash tool for the light gray siding and the trim. I would make a new wall type with that type of siding and fill in where it does not work. A soffit would also work for the trim where it's not curved.
  7. Did you rebuild the roof after making the ceiling height change?
  8. See this video for a how to. http://youtu.be/NsWkGAuIpQA?hd=1
  9. You should be able to select the wall in elevation and reshape the bottom as you require. You will be working with the wall polyline, so the break, and change line to arc tools will be helpful. Sometimes a doorway could be used, but I believe the stone would keep that from working.
  10. Search the forum and Knowledge Base for your answer.

    Reinstall -- Choose the Repair option.
  12. Ill try that. Thank you! You still have not clearly stated what you want to do. You drew a plan on level 1. You want to move it to level 2 and then draw a new level 1. Is this it? If so -- it's simple to do.
  13. I'll make my guess. You drew a plan on level 1. You want to move it to level 2 and then draw a new level 1. Why not build on the foundation level 0? It sounds like you have a walkout basement.
  14. Is Pro closed -- or any other app that may be referencing the file?
  15. You are not sending the layout, you are sending the PDF of the layout.
  16. Copy the PDF files to your flash drive. You do this in Windows or the Mac OS, not from within Pro. Don't know where you found this info, but it's wrong.
  17. Try this -- Edit>Delete Objects

    I don't understand, and don't know how to do this in Chief. Could you link the video?
  19. I think SketchUp is your best answer. SketchUp is free for creating your own truss, if you cannot find one in the 3D Warehouse. I eliminated one vertical on the left side -- what do you think?
  20. Search Help for Standard Area for your answer. You should be able to turn them on and off in Layer Display Options.

    View out door

    Exactly. If there is a hall there, draw in a hall. Even when working on a single room (typically a kitchen), I always place it within a larger room. Drawing 4 exterior walls, then drawing a single room within. And I build a foundation and roof -- don't need to be accurate, but the program seems to work better with a more complete model.

    View out door

    We need more info. When you are inside, looking through an open door that leads to another room, you will see the other room. What's on the other side of your door?
