Thanks David.  Your input is very helpful.  The video is great!

David, would you be willing to look at the attached files and see if you can open them and save them in a format that the current version of Home Designer can open?  They were created (by me, years ago) in a Brodurbund version, I'm no longer sure which version.  I've installed Chief Architect X8 Desktop Viewer to try to view or convert them but it won't open these.  Any help would be appreciated.

I'll be using them in Home Designer Pro, if they will open, as a basis of creating a new set of files for this same house, the one we have lived in for the last 22 years.  I'm planning a kitchen renovations, and further down the road an attached garage, so not having to start from scratch and remeasure everything would be nice.35 Ankerville Deck Joists.PL2

I seem to see you everywhere on the forums and thought I would say hello. Thanks for the great advice and help you provide! 

Hello David.  Solver tells me you will teach/consult.  Yes?

David Potter.  HDPro2021.  Any chance you could produce a video on creating multiple layout sheets for one project, showing floor plans, elevations, sections, etc.

I assume you need to create /  save each layout. cheers mate

Mr Potter. Thank you so much for the video and plan correction. I'm excited to take a look. Alas, I must put my kids to sleep for the night. I will take a good close look later tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks again!

Jay.

I was given a 2008 version of Home Designer,  version 8.4.0 which I just recently installed.  I have drawn up a house plan, which, at the moment consists of the rooms of a house and now have decided that I want to mirror or reverse the floor plan. Under TOOLS there is a feature to REVERSE PLAN however it does it about the vertical axis and I want to mirror it about the horizontal axis.  I could use the vertical axis feature if I could then rotate it CCW 90 deg but don't see this feature also.  Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks

David,  I'm wanting to know how to turn of "fill" in a section or detail similar to Screen shot-1 so that i just get a nice unfilled line representation. Screen shot -2  is what i get when I send the detail to a layout

David, I'm new to the Home Design hobby community. I see you have been extremely helpful to other members. Do you work for Chief Architect or are you a freelancer. I purchased Home Designer Essential 2019 and have begun the process of recreating my current home. I'm not a gamer and thought this would be a good hobby.

Hey Dave   I feel like learned so much  the up & down on transform replicate was an easy fix didnt know about the - sign lol  now i  hvae to learn how to space objects evenly as the are duplicated !! meaning if   i  have a square & i want the next square 4" apart any input would be appreciated 

          i feel my biggest issue is where to click and what some tools will do   !!!! also have you seen the online calculated industries calculator it is so neat you can bring it right on the screen !!! it has so many good features 

                                          thanks so far  george
