  1. There's also a bonus catalogue in the M.E.P. section with downspouts, elbows, etc. Don't know if that will help.
  2. Another option for you may be the Azek sill profiles? They have a historic sill and a subsill. Both have a little angle to them and may represent the look you want?
  3. Sometimes it helps to check the materials for the lights that aren't working. Even just refreshing one can get them all to work.
  4. With Pro 2021, you can do a search in the library by searching for vertical blinds. I do not know if Architectural has it.

    Update PDF File

    Or do you mean you need to make changes to the plan you imported and create a drawing in Home Designer Architectural?

    Clear terrain data

    When you open your terrain settings, read how it says "Subfloor height above terrain." What I think you've done is by setting it to -42 you have actually raised it up 42" from the floor, which is where the hill is coming into being
  7. There is also a bonus catalog available for purchase that has some items similar as well.
  8. Look at the "Rectangular Polyline" drop down box. As was mentioned to you before, the reference manual is great to use so you aren't losing time waiting for someone to answer a question when the answer can be found easily.
  9. I keep my default section detail notes on a word document. Then I copy and paste into a text box and modify as needed for the client and/or the project.
  10. Go to your cabinet defaults. Under wall cabinet, check the box marked "backsplash to base below." Set your thickness and the material you wish it to be. For the areas where there isn't a wall cabinet, use a soffit to fill in those gaps. Painting will just paint a whole wall, as you've found.
  11. The original poster said they used black lines, so I was following what he said.
  12. You don't even need to put in black lines. Just hit the "enter" key a couple of times and it will add spaces to move the call size
  13. It sure looks connected in your post. You do realize that you need to do that procedure to the 2nd floor wall, since that's the one that is being intersected?
  14. Go to the wall specification. Open it up. Go to the "roof" section. At the very bottom is a box that says "Lower wall type if split by Butting roof". Check that, change the lower type to an interior or whatever you want and that should fix it. Your manual is also a great place to look for this stuff.
  15. You can tell it to change the wall type below the roof to whatever you need it to be. The 2nd picture in your post looks like it's facing into the lower room and the siding is the 2nd floor exterior wall.
  16. You can try to go to your wall, open the "roof" dbx, then look at the bottom where you can change what the wall type is under a roof.
  17. Change the ceiling material to whatever it is you want it to be . . . if Suite lets you do that. You'll find it in the DBX for "Floors & Rooms".
  18. If you aren't going to change the window size, you can open the label and put a couple of "enter" taps in before it and it will move below the window if that helps. If you change the size, the label won't change, so be careful if you use this.
  19. You'll find some nice improvements on the deck tools in 2021.
  20. That option was not available in HDP 2020. It came out in 2021.

    HOUSE SF

    When you move the wall, is it still connected to another wall to close the area up? If there's an open wall connection, it won't tally the footage.
  22. I don't know if Suite has the ability, yet maybe you could open up your roof framing view, copy a rafter from each side and move them down along the "Z" axis to get them to the level you want. Then "transform/replicate" along the X or Y axis @ 16" oc to make them all show?
  23. if you click on the terrain, you will see it probably has "hide terrain intersected by building" checked. Uncheck that and it should go away. What you can then do is go to the 1st floor plan, go to the terrain drop box, find "terrain hole" and draw that to the outside of the framing in the walls. It's something that's been happening over the last few releases and frankly, it becomes annoying. Yet at least there is a simple work around. You'll see it with cantilevers, etc. too.
  24. It's happened to me before too. It just shows up sometimes in a blue color on the layout sheet. No big deal, just delete the view and carry on.
