    Exterior Siding

    Yes. look at your siding materials
  2. While not a licensed architect, I do use HD Pro for my design business. Luckily, I still have HDP 2025, which I plan to still use for my plans. I bought the 2026 version thinking it would be a step up, as the other "updates" would usually be. Well, I was sorely mistaken once I realized how many features were deleted, messed up, or changed. It was a lesson that I don't plan on making next year, unless they can fix the issues that were created in this 2026 version. I guess time will tell
  3. Make the box transparent. Maybe spend some time going over the reference manual
  4. The line above looks like the roof overhang. You can rename any room to what you want by going to the dbx, at the room name, leave the upper name so it defaults, then on the second lane, change it to what you want it to be
  5. If you set it in your defaults before you start adding windows, it'll happen with them all
  6. You can go into the DBX for the windows under labels & hit the "enter" key a time or two to move the label to sit below the window. It may work for the doors too. You can always click on the door or window and move the text with the small dot in the center of the call out too
  7. I think one of the many drawbacks to HD 2026 is that the material editing properties have been taken away. If you go to the material, copy it to make a new one and rename it, see if you can edit the angle of it. Change it from 0 to 90, or the opposite. If it's greyed out, you can't. However, if you applied this as a soffit, and not a moulding, the pattern may be fine.
  8. Yes, there was one. The one in question looks like it has a "V" in it, which is why I suggested there was a vector view camera active somewhere in the plan. Possibly saved from when a view was sent to layout page or something. Posting the plan often helps more than playing guessing games. Anyway, good luck with it
  9. Looks like you have a vector view camera active or saved in that are, which is giving you the line
  10. Do it using custom countertops. Stack them on top of each other
  11. If it's a PDF, import it to your plan, set the scale from marked dimensions, then trace it. You'll want to turn it so that your walls run straight up for the structure. In other words, turn the terrain, not the house
  12. The material properties was a good feature. There is no realistic looking screen porch screening option now. Deleting the watermark takes away our ability to protect our work, or to at least mark it as preliminary. Now the way to do that is to add a text box to the layout sheet, which is distracting, and can easily be removed by someone just editing a PDF page in Adobe, etc.
