Hi. I'm using Home Designer Pro 2024. I was wondering if there was an easy way to reset the Display Options for a given view back to defaults. I recently did the method to display a framing elevation from the "Creating an Elevation View of Wall Framing in Home Designer Pro" tutorial which has the user delete all but two layers, but I didn't bother to make note of which layers were checked for display before doing that. When I wanted to revert back, I had to open a new plan, create an elevation view, open the Display Options, then make note of all of the checked layers. Then I went back to my working plan and manually re-checked all of those. That could get pretty tedious if one would have to do that every time they wanted to drastically modify the Display Options for some one-off use like that. If there's any easier way to reset those options to their defaults, please let me know. I looked the Reset Options in Preferences and didn't see anything obvious there (and certainly don't want to reset a bunch of other stuff just to default the Display Options for a given layer).

Yep. You were right to ask about lintels and the template. I sent this same query to Support as well, and they told me that the reason I'm seeing them is because of the template I chose when starting my project. The windows in that template use lintels, but the version of software I have doesn't allow them to be turned on or off. Instead, I have to copy a window from a template that doesn't have them turned on and turn off the casings. That worked. Thanks for your help, @solver!

Don't have that in the Architectural version, unfortunately.

Doesn't look like it. They're on the interior walls as well and stick out past the drywall. The lintels that show up in the framing overview look like the rest of the framing (lighter default pine texture) and don't stick out any farther on interior or exterior than the rest of the framing.

Hi. I'm new to Home Designer. I'm using the Architectural 2024 version.When I place windows and doors, they all have this piece of trim above them that I can't seem to get rid of. I've turned off all possible things in the door and window dialog boxes, but this piece of trim remains on top. How can I get rid of this?
