Oops! Looks like the first time that "convert polylines" to solid objects is in Chief Architect Lite. Is that correct? Since my software is Home Designer Architectural, I must find another solution. Maybe the combersome approach I took is the only one in my version of software.
... I took another look at the post from Rich and it looks like Home Designer Pro can do it. I guess I could have someone confirm that Pro is the first time you can convert polylines.
One additional question... If you can't convert a CAD element to an actual structural piece, what are the uses of the CAD elements in versions that don't have the conversion capability?

I am trying to create a quarter circular area that is enclosed so I can cover it with a brick material. I ended up using a driveway area and fooling around with the rectangular result with the line to arc tool until I had facsimile a quarter circle. Is there a better way of doing this or a procedure that makes this a cleaner operation? I had to start over once because I had so many break points that it was a real mess. Also, are there mirror and flip, type tools that would make creating mirror images of odd shapes easier. See what I have done in the attachment to get an idea of some of the things I am trying to do.

Thanks. I will try that.

I am using Home Designer Architectural
In 3D view you have a "fat" 4 arrow cursor control to move the model around. If I use tools such as the eyedropper or spray can, the 4 arrow cursor is replaced by those tools. If I select the selection tool after using these tools, that apparently is not the way to get the 4 arrow control back. How do I get the 4 arrow 3D control cursor back?

I am using Home Designer Architectural.
I have used layers in many other programs, but I am having trouble understanding how Home designer layers work.
I have 2 terrain features that overlap. Since they are terrain features, I think they are considered to be on the same layer, but they don't act like it. I put in a terrain feature of a cobblestone area and later put in a terrain feature of just ground cover that I wanted underneath the cobblestone feature. That is the way it turned out, but I don't understand why.
Usually in the other graphic programs I have used, the last item entered went on a layer that covered the previous item that was on a layer below and if you wanted to change it, you would have to reorder the layers. How do I determine the layer (or more probably the order) of what is on top of what? Is there a video, discussion, webinar or something that reviews this and makes this clearer?

Pretty sure you are right, Kbird1. I don't see it as an option on Architectural.
