  1. My suggestion is to simply use the CAD line drawing tool for the plan view. (See attached.) Of course you'll still have the rectangular line showing (end of the non-angled soffit). Hope this helps.
  2. Eric: Thanks. All very useful. You answered the overall question, which is that once you change a default setting it doesn't automatically re-apply to items already drawn. Thanks for clarifying. As to auto-build for the foundation, we're actually starting with the foundation first and inferring the first floor footprint from that. Long story. (Not the way I typically operate, but oh well!) Anyway thanks again!
  3. Not sure which program you're using but try this. Just go to: Default Settings Dimensions Dimension (subgroup) "Locate Objects" Then it should day "surfaces" "wall dimension layer" "none" You want to choose "surfaces."
  4. I am using Home Designer Pro 2015. I have a question that has always perplexed me. When I change a default setting in the middle of working on a plan, is there a way to retroactively apply the default settings to stuff that's already been drawn? Example: I am working on a plan which started out with 10" CMU foundation walls. Turns out we're going to be using 8" walls instead. I know how to change the default to 8", and every new wall I draw comes out 8", but is there a way to GO BACK and apply the new default of 8" to the 10" walls that I've already drawn? I can't seem to find anything in the help section that addresses this. Thanks in advance.
  5. @ Katalyst: That's EXACTLY what it was...problem fixed...THANK YOU!
  6. I'm using Home designer Pro 2015 See attached graphic...I have no floors or ceilings and I can't hit on an individual room to change specs. I've been using this program for a long time...I'm sure I hit the wrong button but can't figure out how to undo. Thanks in advance for any advice.
