Thank your for that simple explanation. I am new to this and find myself accepting the defaults out of frustration. Rod

I am using Home Designer Architectural 2021, build 22.3/0/55x64. I am doing an addition to an existing home. The house has lap siding with a 10" reveal. Home designer seems to default to a 6" reveal and renderings do match actual. Is there a way to adjust that look in this version? Thanks. Rod

Thanks for the detailed and quick response. I will try to replicate and let you know.

I am a new HD Suite user. I keep encountering errors when i try to create different roofs over 3 separate sections of the same house but all on the same floor. I could not get a .jpg to attach so i am linking to a similar example from Houzz.com http://www.houzz.com/photos/381314/River-House-beach-style-exterior-seattle I have the three separate room's ceiling reflecting properly but don't know how to separate and step-down the roofs. Any suggestions are appreciated. Rod

Thanks.

Thanks for the tips. I will try it out.

I am trying to replicate or place 50 some existing trees in my lot perimeter from a hand sketch with measurements. I was trying to watch the X/Y numbers to get an approximation of where they should be located. I prefer to be more precise but I have been totally frustrated using a cad line as I can never get it to show measurements off the lot line my measurements were taken from. I am open to any ideas and suggestions for accomplishing that . I just switched over from Google Sketch where you just place two quick guidelines and your spot is pinpointed. With HD I lose my marker as soon as I let go of the mouse button. Suggestion for locating the trees is appreciated.

New User HD Suite: The 00 location of my X and Y axis seems to be just outside my perimeter. Is there a way to pic a perimeter corner and have that zero out as the X and Y axis? Also can that be reflected in feet instad of inches?

I have Home Designer Suite and downloaded the "Vehicles" bonus Catalogs and it included a bicyle under Recreation Vehicles.
