I'm so use to just pressing the space key to repeat a command in AutoCAD. Does Home Designer Pro have a key I can press to keep repeating a command?

Rookie65, I've moved it on the x axis, like 60'. I was wanting to completely make them invisible without having to delete them. If I keep deleting them I have to reattach them and scale them, just for viewing. That's why I wanted to just turn them off, and in the future turn them back on.

After importing a .pdfs, I'd like to hide them, so they stay in the drawing, but out of my way. I've read I can turn off the .PDF BOX layer. When I select the .pdf I do see that its layer is PDF Box. In layers there is no PDF Box layer. How else can I turn the .pdfs off?

FYI- I've selected a wall, then Marquee Select Similar, Select All Similar. But, all the walls get selected.

Over-time, I have changed wall types. Therefore, when I copy/paste and existing drawing into a new drawing I keep getting multiple wall types with _2, or _3 after them. I have selected Delete All Unused walls not used, but since they are being used they won't delete. I have constantly used the object eyedropper to change the walls, then reselect Delete All Unused walls. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Is there a way to somehow be able to choose a wall, select all of those walls at once, then change them to the most current wall, so I can Delete All Unused walls again to get rid of them? Or, is there a better way? Here's a pic to show you. Thanks in advance.

Thanks to both of you. I'll work with both your ideas.

After extending walls to existing walls I have to select the longer wall, press the number 3 to break the wall, then I have to delete the longer portion of the wall. Is there a shortcut to this, instead of having to do three steps? Here's an example. On the bottom left of this garage the wall extends.

I fixed the problem. I just re-drew the wall.

I added it to the wall by clicking Material Painter and applying. I couldn't just undo it, as the file had been closed and reopened. I figured out how to get it removed by looking more into Wall Specification, Materials. I originally selected Wall Specification, Wall Covering. By choosing the Wall Specification, Materials, the Interior Wall Surface Said, "No Change." So, I selected it and changed it back to Drywall. Success! Thanks for your help.

I did try that. When changing the wall material, it adds a line "of the material" through the middle.

How can I just remove the tile, so the wall is back to drywall? I've added tile to a wall, but if I use material eyedropper, then material painter, all it does is change the color of the tile. Bathroom.plan

If I select something, anything in the drawing, how can I see what layer it's on? I shouldn't have to pull up layers, click on the layers with a plus mark, then select OK to see if it was turned off. Since there's not an apply, to see if the selected object disappears, I then have to open layers again and do the process all over.

David Jefferson Potter, I'd like to say thank you. Once I place my order for the software, I'll just export it to AutoCAD and do touch up work, But, at least the major parts of the elevations will be drawn in a faster time then having to manually draw them myself in AutoCAD.

On a monolithic foundation there's a step down from floor to garage. When I specify the room as the garage, I can see in 3d (inside view) that there is a step down in the 3D drawing. But, on the elevation view the drawing looks like the garage floor is going UP. My question, why does it look like the garage floor level is higher than the house floor level? You can see the left floor lines are higher than the floor lines on the right. Pic 1: Floor plan Pic 2: Inside view Pic 3: Elevation, the garage is on the left side

I've been looking at those plans to learn HD Pro, but I can't export anything to see how it appears in AutoCAD.
