I've already done this. The catalog has not been updated on the Chief side yet. But thanks!

Thank you Derek!

I'm presently a user of Home Designer Pro 2023 and am using the product to visualize a potential home plan. I've noticed that Certainteed had updated colors in their product line which are not found in the current Certainteed catalog in your library. The last update to this catalog, according to the download, was 12/2022. Can you let me know if the catalog will be updated in the near future to take into account the new color offerings?

Thanks Dig! I was wanting to do the straps as well. I'll look at both options you and Eric presented. Mind you, most of this is just for visual presentation, but wanted to add some finer detail.

Thank Eric. I'll do that. Might be a day or two before I can post.

One more question.... I have the braces built and I'm applying to the structure. I have some posts/beam close to the house and when I try to position this brace, it snaps to the exterior wall (since it is a backsplash object I assume). I've tried turning off all the snap functions, but sill can't place the object. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hello! I'm working on a home plan in HD Pro 2021 and I'm in the process of drawing up a timber frame covered porch off the rear of the home. I want to create some angled support gussets/braces but I'm not sure how to get what I want at a 45 degree angle. I'm using a slab object to dimension and trim up. I'll need to do the same thing when it comes time to do the rafters. Attached is a photo of what I'm trying to replicate:

WOW! Very nice.

Thanks again Eric. Lots to go over and replicate on my end. Mike

JoAnn...THIS IS AWESOME. Did you do as David suggested and align some of the external walls to get the auto build roof to work?

David, Let me take the time to thank you for looking at my plan and giving me some valuable pointers with the roof design and the floor plan geometry! The video was more than I expected and certainly very eye-opening when someone with as much experience as you takes a look at it. Yes, I agree about the ridge line of the roof and will work on get that straightened out this weekend. The covered deck in the back was really going to be pergola with a ledger board attached to the house and planks run out from that. A couple of 4x4's on the corners. Regards, Mike Keys

Here is the floor plan. 730_Timber_Ridge.zip

Eric, I'll post that tonight when I get home. I wouldn't mind a critique of it either, since I'm a newbie to this whole "design your dream home" mentality I have.
