  1. There isn't an automated way to make the railing stop. Using a railing wall, you can stop the wall where the railing starts to protrude.
  2. I would experiment with turning off the stair railings and use a railing wall (pony wall with railing on top) set to follow stairs.
  3. Unsure what you are asking, but maybe Print>Drawing Sheet Setup
  4. The directory you are writing to is probably protected -- marked Read Only or similar. Remove that and you should be OK.
  5. You need to add it to your template plan. Search Tips or my YouTube channel for details.

    Awkward Staircase

    Landings will pick up the Open Underneath setting of stairs they connect to. Break the stair section using a Complete Break. Adjust the sections as needed. Are you drawing them on the first or second floor? Should be first.
  7. I was referring to you cannot choose where the header goes. It always is placed just above the window. Some builders like it always placed up against the top plates, which is an option in Chief, but not in Home Designer. Of course you need to rebuild, or have auto rebuild framing on to see changes.

    Awkward Staircase

    What's the problem?
  9. That's a limitation of the Home Designer products. Headers are always just above the opening.
  10. Look in the Library for shapes.
  11. What you are seeing is probably a limitation of Suite, but you can paint a material everywhere in plan with a single click -- no need do every wall. Read about using the Material Eyedropper.
  12. Why not? What happens when you try? Have you ever placed a circle before? Do you understand that you click then drag to place the circle?
  13. There are roof videos on the Chief YouTube channel and my YouTube channel.
  14. You can use a Custom Backsplash -- draw on a wall then move into the cabinet, or Sloped Soffits.

    BASEMENT ISSUES

    Think about what's not shown in that view. Take a cross section.

    What might be filling that gap?

    plank direction

    Try drawing a new freestanding deck off to the side. Does it have the same problem? You might attach the plan file -- use Edit Area to cut out just the deck if you like.

    plank direction

    Open the deck room and review the settings.
  19. Only Pro has truss tools. If you open Help and search truss and do not find anything, you can figure the program cannot do trusses.
