why can't I simply slide the end point where I want it? Must I use the Dimension line Specification box to just move an end point?

I want/need to move the dimension's extension endpoints

Why are dimensions such a pita to work with? I want to move the "thing" at 1 and the "thing" at 2. but I can't. I have to go in to the Specification editor to do this. EVERY Time! Can't this be simpler?!

Is there a way to change a fixture's layer? And as I am thinking of it, is there a way to create my own layer set? I'd like to show certain things in different variations of a base plan and not have multiple buildings in one file or multiple files of the same building with different variations. I'm using Home Designer Pro 2018

How the He** did you figure this out?! This is absolutely incredible. Well done. I tip my hat to you.

yes, I too have worked with the trial and error method but I was hoping for an actual button to click for a more precise and consistent action, no such luck I'm finding.

Oh good grief. Thank you!

Ok here's another issue. How do I get the Home Designer Core Catalogs for my laptop?

Aggghhh, I got it to spin! I don't know what I actually did other than drag and let go. I seem to be able to spin faster or slower by dragging faster or slower but it is haphazard and not easily repeatable. Any thoughts?

I switch back and forth between my Desktop and my laptop to go from my office to my client's homes. I'm also doing a booth at our Pittsburgh Home & Garden Show. Tonight, I was trying to show an interested customer some ideas with kitchen cabinets. I couldn't get the Core Catalog to open. I don't have web access at the show. How can I download the HD Core Catalogs to use during the Home Show or when I'm out on a sales call?

Ok folks, put your thinking caps on. I'm trying to get my rendering to "spin". I can get it to work, sometimes, but it's trial and error. Is there any setting or method to use to do this with greater accuracy?

YES, Well done! Thank You both

What is the layer used for jpegs?

I'd like to show a wall notch in a foundation wall for a beam. How do I do that?

Crud. Ok Thanks! Happy Holidays!

Is there a way to set up fractions similar to AutoCAD dimensions where the fractions are diagonal and not just basic font height?

How do I get the 3d library catalogs to load into Home Designer?

sorry, i couldn't pass that up It dawned on my to create a template for my project types though. I do a bunch of Home Addition projects. The homes are either brick veneer or siding veneer. So once I get my client to settle on a design I can go to CD's fairly quick. The Final CD's are minimal information. The Building Inspectors like them. The builders like them. There is a Cover sheet, Plan sheets, Elevation sheets, Detail Sheets, Wall Section sheets and a Set of Specifications that are taken right out of the IRC. Simple yet informative and accurate. Very little to screw up

Yes - I did it, guilty as charged, svsvsvsvsvsvsvsvsvsvsvsvvsvsvsvs and I had it with some fahva beans and a nice Chianti.......

Thanks Jo_Ann! Greatly appreciated!

woo hoo, Thanks to both of you! Problem solved. I won't make that mistake again! Thanks Folks! I'm off and running with scissors!

O.....k, so, how do I fix the structure of the wall so that it covers the gap.

That's pretty much what I did in my original project's creation. But for some reason there is a gap between walls/floors and I don't know what is causing this. As for the grid I can turn those off.

This is the comparison. I like a wall with a poche. When you have Layer Off, you don't get any poche.

This is what I see in Home Designer 2018 Pro I'm just not fond of seeing all the parts of a wall. To me it's nice to know that the parts are all there but I don't need my 2d prints that are going to a contractor and Plan review. Just a personal preference.
