  1. Yes, HomeTalk is for all titles of Home Designer products, ChiefTalk is for the Chief Architect branded products. What do you need help with? There are many free resources for learning the program -- just takes time and a bit of effort. There is a tutorial access via the Help menu, Chief has a YouTube channel with good hour long getting started webinars that go over the process. There are articles and videos on the Home Designer website.
  2. You want to raise the porch roof until it matches the roof to its right? Auto roofs build over rooms, so raise the ceiling height in the Porch room. And Architectural only has auto roofs, you would need Pro to do manual.
  3. No -- just something that needs to be done manually.
  4. I'm guessing you transferred your active license? And then you transferred your license back. You need to copy your plan file from system to system manually -- did you do that?
  5. Help others by saying what you did
  6. Try not to reshape wall top and bottom, unless there is no other way. And keep in mind that when you change an auto generated Attic wall, the software will no longer automatically rebuild it. By changing it, you have taken ownership. On the front porch. You can use the same Pony Wall trick to get the program to fill in the gap.
  7. Nothing to do with Layers. You have dragged the bottom of the gable wall down, probably in an effort to cover something. OK -- looked at the plan. Here is what I see. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/G_DVWPceABY?hd=1
  8. That's usually an indication there are 2 walls in the same space. You can usually tell by selecting in a camera view. You will see how walls overlap.
  9. Do you get audio on other videos? YouTube, for example. Have you tried another browser? I'm not familiar with Mac, but believe Safari is the default. Check to see if a Chrome version is available.

    Finding a layer

    Select an object, look in the Status Bar.
  11. Someone will need to look at your plan file to answer. Close the program and attach like you did for the image.

    DIMENSIONS - PITA

    Have you looked at Dimension Defaults?

    DIMENSIONS - PITA

    Where to? What's the problem?
  14. And when you change the wall back to visible, the floors remain looking correct. I've seen similar reported on ChiefTalk.
  15. You have a wall that contains the doorway. If you turn off the sun, the floors look the same. Make the dividing wall invisible and the floors look the same. This looks like a bug in PBR. It shows reflections on the kitchen floor, but they do not cross into the adjacent room.
  16. My impression is that there is a difference. If you want suggestions on why, or how to resolve the issue, then we need the plan.
  17. I believe you need to create a new layout template that is 24x36.

    Roof Rookie

    Oops -- thought I was looking at Suite. I see you have Ignore Top Floor checked. Is that the only way you could get the roof to build? If you uncheck that, the addition roof builds, but the original roof changes.
  20. Probably need to find a SketchUp symbol (google 3D Warehouse).

    No Scroll

    Check the View menu, and make sure the program is maximized.
  22. That tool is no longer on the default toolbar. You can add it via Customize Toolbars, or just use the Copy/Paste tool as it will open a secondary toolbar with additional options.
