thanks for answering that so quickly, it got rid of it! its been fun learning this program, thanks to the videos, and help from people like you!

I have managed to get a deck on the upper level of this plan but can't seem to get rid of it. i can no longer see my ceilings, only the bottom of the deck above. This is a houseboat where the upper deck is the fiberglass roof. i was trying to create a "deck" to show the railings on the roof and to add the bar, etc upstairs. I am at my wit's end as i spent so much time on this plan before i realized i have gotten into a mess i can't figure how to get out of. any suggestions would be so helpful.

thank you, i am still working on the signature thing. so i figured it out, you have to get the material you want and copy it into your library. then you can open it for editing and change the calculation to area. i did that and ran a new materials list and it worked.

using HD pro 2021 It looks like if i select a countertop material from the default or core catalogs it calculates square footage, but if i try to change that granite to one from a manufacturer (cactus stone as shown below) it will not calculate the square footage. does anyone know a way around this? any help is greatly appreciated.
