  1. Make sure the Painter Component Mode is correct. Should be Component.
  2. Pick your material, apply it to the roof.

    I am certain I worked on someones plan recently that showed these, but cannot find it. The 3D Warehouse is a good source of things like this. There is a thread on this forum with links to 3rd party symbols you can add to your model -- you will need to search for it.
  4. Even though the topics are similar, you should start a new thread. Have you tried just lowering the floor of the shower space?
  5. I should say former cabinetmaker. My last shop was 12,000 sq ft, but that was 25 years ago. Here is a short story about OPM (other peoples measurements) that happened long ago. I was in a small town, so there was a good bit of walk ins with small jobs -- broken drawers, loose chair legs etc. One day a customer arrived with a load of interior shutters she wanted sized to fit her windows. She assured me she had measured carefully, and produced a list with exact dimensions for each one. We agreed on a price, and she would return the following day to pick them up. I cut them as instructed, she picked them up, happy that it only took one day. Several days later, she returned with one shutter in hand, and on seeing her, assumed it needed a bit more removed. "Young man, I gave you my measurements, and every shutter is wrong. The rest are in my car, what are you going to do?" I calmly asked what the correct dimension should be for this shutter, she produced her list and gave me the measurement. I produced my tape measure, and the shutter measured exactly what it should. She immediately said there was something wrong with my tape, and after digging around in her purse, produced her own tape -- a cloth sewing tape. I needed to gather up other tapes and measuring instruments from around the shop to convince her that her tape was incorrect. She was lucky as her measurements were long, the shutters were all too big.
  6. Have you looked at a material list? The program gives you a line item for each cabinet -- no details on what it actually looks like or how it's constructed. Exactly. That's their job, and something they would do anyway (speaking as a cabinetmaker). As for your cabinet, is this what you want?
  7. You can use a cabinet. Make it 3/4" deep so all you see is the door. Under materials, you can make parts Opening No Material too. For Face frame cabinets, you can overlap them to get uniform gaps. You get extra lines in some views, but standard views are seamless.
  8. Say you have a drawer over a door. To make the drawer larger, try making the door smaller, or the other way around. I jut did this and found another bug. The open space is specified to have 1 shelf, but shows more.
  9. This looks like a bug, but here is how to make it work. Select the drawer and split it Horizontally making 2 skinny drawers one above the other. Now delete one of the drawers, and one of the spacers. The remaining drawer will return to its original size and the height will be editable.
  10. Have you tried removing the fixture (sink?) in the top?
  11. Is your porch a defined room with a room type of Porch? Do you have Roof Over This Room checked for the porch?
  12. Use the Slab Tool to fill in as needed.
  13. You are using a Floor Camera which should almost never be used. Try a Full Camera, and read up on the differences
  14. Easiest is to do the dormers manually. For Auto Dormers, go to Default Settings and change Dormer defaults so they fit on the roof.

    You are selecting the cabinet. When you double click the cabinet, what happens? Here I double click on cabinet and Cabinet Specification dialog opens. What happens you you do this?
  16. Suggest making the parapet walls Siding-6 to match the walls below. This will make them align and should fix the drywall issue. Also, I noticed your floors are at +4", and are usually left at 0". I used Edit>Reset to Defaults, selected All Floors and Floor Heights. Once done, many visual things were corrected.
  17. That's a zipped file -- see www.7-zip.org I use WinRAR myself to manage zipped files.

    For the Dishwasher -- what are you wanting to do with the cabinet? Just select it and open it, or double click it. Changes may be made in the dialog. For the stairs. It's not clear if what you have is a landing (part of a stair structure), or a floor that is lowered in that space. My guess is the latter, so try lowering the floor in that room, then drawing in your stairs.
  19. I suspected that, seeing that all your interior doors are 3' wide. Lots of good info available online, like this page which describes clearances. Chapter 3: Clear Floor or Ground Space and Turning Space An easy way of visualizing turning space is to draw a circle of the desired diameter. I've added a hatch to this one so it stands out. Consider toilet access as well. Generally, one side should be accessible. In your revised plan, using a curtain instead of a fixed enclosure for the shower would work well. The plan provided is clearly incomplete, but one suggestion is to integrate the laundry with the master bath. A stacked washer/dryer does not take much space.
  20. Looks like you posted a DXF file instead of ???
  21. Thanks for the update Fred. It's nice to see a completed project.
  22. Here is how the outside might look using the above plan mods. I raised the pitch on the forward facing gables so the main roof ridges are at the same height. Cleans up the look a bit, and gives the front gables a little more presence. And this is a popular option. One more showing small change in roof. And an alternate siding.
  23. Here is an idea for an alternate plan. Master closet and bath area swap places resulting in a larger closet. Public bath and second bedroom are reconfigured to add privacy to the bath and bedroom, and increase closet space.
