I want to add an external screen door (swings out) in front of my entry door (swings in).  How can I get the second door (screen) in same location as primary (entry) door?

Thank You,

How can I stop the tile from running up the wall beyond the level of the bottom of my cabinets.  I have varying heights of cabinets / back-splash required.  Example, over the sink is higher than the rest of the "back-splash".  Illustration 1 (Without tile) shows where I want it to stop on this part or the kitchen wall (blue line).  Illustration 2 (With tile) shows what happens when I "paint" the back-splash on the wall.   The height of the back-splash over the sink is higher than I want it at the end of the cabinet run.  HELP!

Thank You,

How can I make "operable" CABINET bi-fold doors?  The Library has bi-fold doors that are good for closets, etc., but they include a wall frame that is not removable.   I need to put a set of bi-folds on a TV cabinet (covering the TV).  I don't know how to hinge a pair of standard cabinet doors to act like bi-folds.

I recently "created" a piece of furniture by bumping several standard pieces next to each other and setting heights, materials, styles, etc. the same.  It looks like what I want and I would like to keep them together as a unit when moving them on the floor plan and to save the group in my Users Folder in the library.  How do I "group" these objects into a single unit?

Is it possible to blow apart a 3D symbol (ie. a piece of furniture) and take one part and apply it to another symbol?  If so, how?

I want to import pictures of existing wallpaper, vinyl flooring, and curtains.  I need to apply them to the appropriate surfaces to show in the 3D floor plan views.  How do I add these items to my library user folder?  What format (jpg, etc) should they be?

Thank You

How can I modify a hinge on an exterior door to change the hinge dimensions.  I have a decorative door to which I want to add "strap hinges".  I found the hinge style in the "cabinet" section of the library, but it does not fit the door thickness and it is too small (length and width).  I would like to adjust the hinge dimensions but there is no way I can see to do this.  If I could "blow the symbol apart", I could "fake it in".  Any suggestions?
