    I've taken the 18x24 default layout sheet, set up a master layout with the information I want, saved it, then created a 24x36 master layout sheet from it. Then I can use it whenever I want. I don't mess with the title block. I just take the border, bring it to the edges of the larger paper, then slide the block to the right edge. It's large enough, I think, for all of the information needed.

    I have it saved in a file and just pull it from there for each job. Plus, I have a bunch already "made up" for the clients I work with the most. Often they like having their business logo on the paper in the space at the bottom right corner between the block and bottom of sheet as well.

    Thank you for sharing!  May I ask how you set-up a "Master Layout"?

  2. I am using HD Pro 2023.  I would like to be able to print layout view for printing plans in 24"x36", Arch D.  I can change the "Drawing Sheet Setup", but it doesn't scale the title block, etc to the larger size.  Is there a way to make 24"x36" the default print size as well as have the title block. borders, etc scaled appropriately?

  3. I am trying to create a set of stairs to access the deck from the terrain and I want the stairs to come into the deck area with railings on the sides of the opening in the deck.  I have been able to create the side railings ok but can't see to figure out how to create the "notch" in the deck.  Any suggestions?

  4. I am creating an outbuilding, separate from my main structure.  The main house has a standard raised foundation but the outbuilding is slab on grade.  I figured out how to set the 'floor' height relative to the terrain but when I attempt to create interior walls with doors, the openings have framing at the sill of the doorways.  I have moved the height of the doorways down so the sill is flush wioth the slab, but I feel that isn't truly the correct way.  How do I best create interior partition walls beginning at the slab in a SOG room type like a garage?
