    Stair railings

    I don't think there were the stair options in HDP 2022 as there are now in HDP 2024
  2. Don't know which program you have, yet try it without a dormer and just change the roof pitch of the back half of the roof? Then all the walls will be aligned
  3. Try the bonus catalog Accessible Design>Lifts and elevator components>platform lift. That may be what you're looking for.
  4. Go to the symbol of the door handing in the bottom tool bar and reverse the handing
  5. Did you try what I suggested? May need to it with a combination of monolithic slab and something different for the stem walls. You know better what you need to achieve.When all else fails, try looking through the reference manual or clicking "help" on each page.
  6. Try checking in foundation defaults where it's marked "slab on top of stem wall." I think 2023 may have had that option.
  7. Did you try changing the foundation wall type to block instead of concrete?
  8. I use that combination all of the time when doing a chimney with a sloped section. Not sure what the trouble is you're having.
  9. Or you can make them with a wedge shape placed on top of a rectangular soffit or closed shape
  10. Try breaking the railing and making the section invisible
  11. You'll see the deck framing when you switch to the floor below
  12. Without a plan to look at, it's all guesswork. Are the rooms labeled correctly?
  13. Are furniture-interior and/or fixtures-interior turned on for that camera view? Remember, you can select what's visible for each camera
  14. Look at what the arrows point to. The top is from surface to surface. The lower one is framing to framing. With 1/2" drywall, the one inch difference comes from that. Read through your reference manual for seeing how you can set dimensions to measure how you need for your project.
  15. Go to the bonus catalogs and purchase the "Silhouettes" catalog if that will help you?
  16. I just number each PDF page individually and save them that way. I never got into their page numbering system.
  17. I don't think it was available until HD Pro 2023 version
  18. You could try a fixed window over an awning
  19. Yes, transform/replicate. If you don't want to use auto framing and set it in your defaults
  20. I thought you were looking for where the dimension lines were? What I do is go to the window defaults, go to label, then go to specify label and hit enter 3 times above the label. That will push it down below the middle of the window so it's clear, if that's what you mean?
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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?
  24. 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.
