Try going to the "structure" tab of one of the adjoining walls and select to continue the wall from the start or the end. Tough to tell from the picture if the wall running vertically is actually aligned. Much better to draw it as a half wall, rather than get in the habit of dragging walls down.

You can go to the default settings under dimensions and locate where you want dimensions to show for openings, etc. Might be good to spend some time with your reference manual so you aren't always waiting for someone to answer things that quite possibly you could find the answer sooner and not slow down your design.

You went to the Home designer bonus catalog page and the vehicles catalog wouldn't download? Without knowing what steps you took, it's hard to guess at what went wrong. Did you try reading the reference manual? Which version of the program are you using, since you don't have a signature filled out?

Try downloading the catalog

Yes, it is. When I delete them, I will go until the wall deletes, then arrow forward one action to get it back. Yes, it's frustrating, yet as you go, you will find other little things that may not make sense either.

Sometimes those are created by rebuilding walls. When you click on the surface, you may see the 'Polyline produced by 3D wall editor" comment in the bottom left of the screen. The program seems to build multiple layers that aren't necessarily visible, yet show up in camera views. You can try clicking them and deleting them. Try that until you have it down to the wall that should be there. I hope this makes sense?

Try going to the attic and add an exterior wall over where the roofs intersect. You'll want to add the side overhang over that wall just where the taller roof covers it.

There are several in the Kohler manufacturers catalog

You can try this link as a guide and modify to the particular room size you may have. It's a great help and simple to use. https://blog.recessedlighting.com/recessed-lighting-calculator/

You should be able to send the .plan file that importing it creates to a layout sheet. From there, print it as a PDF and save on the desktop, then import the PDF into a new plan file, verify the scale, and then trace over the walls, etc. Then you can delete the PDF from the plan file. Or just move it along the X axis a bunch of inches so it's not visible when you go to print your plan file, yet then you don't lose the alignments should you need to change something later..

If you're trying to have the angle of the left window in the peak of the left side, try lowering the height off floor and the top height of the left unit so it drops down to below the ridge.

I agree. What I usually do is start with a valance and make it as thick as the porch or whatever it's going over. Or shape a custom backsplash and make the depth and material to be what the ceiling is. Then "Transform/Replicate" it just a couple of inches and make it the color of what the exterior trim is supposed to be. That gives it a cap while the rest of it is the ceiling material.

Do you mean a double acting, that swings in or out? There is an option in the interior door defaults that can be checked to show it swings in both directions. I don't remember if it is available in HDP 2021. Also, it's better if you post questions in the "Q&A" section. More people are likely to see it there.

I use that often. Place the first ones, then transform/replicate to get the rest of them placed. Can't say I understand the cad box method

Try opening the wall, go to structure. There should be an option to extend the wall through the start or the end. I don't remember if that version showed which was the start or end

Go to "File>Import>import drawing (DWG, DXF) and follow the prompts from there. If you need to adjust the scale, follow what I replied with last week.

You have already been told by Chief Architect that you can not create custom layers in HD Suite, nor any of the HD products. Maybe you could create something and save it to your user library, yet a layer for it is not an option. Maybe in Chief Architect Premier, if you're willing to pay for that upgrade?

Try checking "floor under this room" in the structure tab

If you have it as a PDF, import it into your plan. Click on the PDF, then in the bottom tool bar, you'll see a dark blue box w/a red double arrow. Click that button, start the line at a point and move it straight across to the end point of a known or dimensioned spot. Then, it will show you the dimension it read, and you can then adjust that to be what it needs to be. You'll probably want to zoom in as close as you can so you can get a very accurate point marker. You can decide to keep the aspect scale or not. I usually do for a start, then double check it..

Try changing the number of lights vertical. That will fix it for you.

Does Architectural have different lite options, such as craftsman? You can also search many of your questions in the reference manual so you don't have to wait for someone else to guide you

Try doing it with exterior wall coverings

Without seeing the plan, I am just guessing. See if you have a ceiling surface over the deck. Sometimes when a deck is made in Pro 2024, the room will be marked as "unspecified." Check to see that it is a room type of a deck and your structure. That may help

You might have to draw the pipes as poly lines in plan view. Then change the infill to solid and the color you want it to be. Though unless you're printing the plans in color, the colors won't matter, so maybe an infill of 2 different patterns may work better?
