  1. What title (Suite, Pro etc) are you using? Could you post screen captures of what you are getting, or post the plan?

    "I" Shaped Stairs

    I don't know about Architectural. Check your help for "Reflecting Objects".

    "I" Shaped Stairs

    The break tool for stair landings is in the edit toolbar, usually located at the bottom of the window. Here is an easy way to do this type of stair. Draw a U shaped stair and adjust it so it's to your liking. Now select the top run, copy, reflect around the center of the middle run. That mirrors the steps to the other side of the landing. Do the same for the bottom run and you have your stairs. I removed railings in the images so the stairs would show better.

    arch & columns

    This type of thing is fairly easy in SketchUp. You can create the arch, add trim as needed and then import into Home Designer.
  5. I worked on the garage a bit. I think your structure settings were off. Attached is the modified plan.
  6. I just took a quick look -- need to get back to work, but I noticed the garage has 2 settings reversed. The first should be a negative number, and the second is normally 0 for a garage. Don't know what any of your values should be, and I don't think in metric!

    arch & columns

    Was able to do this, but much work yet to do to match your image. Used a round top pass through for the arch. 2 floors, one for the open area, one for the enclosed.

    arch & columns

    Could you also post a picture of what you are trying to achieve?
  9. Could you explain "planning out circuits"? What are you wanting to achieve?
  10. Which title (Suite, Pro etc) are you using? When you open the stair, do you get a dialog like the attached?
  11. The problem wall gets marked "Roof Cuts Wall at Bottom" -- image 1. You then need to manually drag the two roof planes over the entry into the wall. They should snap in place. I needed to pull the right side back a bit at the top right corner -- image 2. Does this do what you wanted?
  12. Really need the plan. Have you tried zipping it? Maybe cut it down so just the problem part is shown.
  13. Thanks David. I envisioned rotating the terrain as needed and then placing the house in the terrain using Edit Area All Floors or something similar.
  14. I would think you would show switch and an outlet/junction box on the plan, and use a note to show the specific lighting type, or refer to your lighting schedule.
  15. Why not move the house onto the terrain?
  16. That's sometimes called cove lighting, so you might try searching for that.
  17. When you change defaults, it changes everything. Go to level 0 (basement), then, Edit > Default Settings > Floor Change as needed.
  18. What is "0" layer -- Floor 0? I imagine you need to move them down manually. Double click the object and set Floor to Bottom to a negative number.
  19. What do you mean "That might work"

    Text in Stairs

    Turn off the arrow, which also removes the text, then add your own text and arrow.
