If it doesn't need the door to be angled, you could try going to the shapes library and place a wedge on top of the cabinet. Adjust the legs so it fills the gap between the top of the cabinet and your ceiling. Then you can change the wedge material to the color of your cabinets so it blends in.

The way I do my edging and patio's is with driveways in the terrain section in roads & sidewalks. Once I have it drawn, I make it the material I want for the edging. Then I will transform/replicate it on the Z axis 1/16" and use the resize option to decrease the size. I then make the new layer the patio material, or terrain in your case, and fine tune the border edge I want, usually 4". I hope this helps?

The same feature is in HD Pro 2023 if you look under the structural section

Try clicking on the string and drag the dimension you don't want to the dimension on either side

Take a look at the "NanaWall" catalog in the bonus catalogs under "Doors & Windows". I believe it's a free download and you can see if it has the door type you need.Or at least something close to show it as it exists.

2022 came out last year. I just downloaded 2023 this past week. Did you enter your version code for the upgrade? It might be that price due to skipping a year? Without seeing your options on the screen, it's hard to tell what the issue may actually be.

If you're using HD Pro 2022, under stairs, they have U shaped stairs already available. The default is 39" width. You can adjust width and the number of treads for each section to get the layout you want. Good luck

That's fine, yet most municipalities will require any engineered material to have calculations passed in with the permit application before they'll approve a design. So unless you're an engineer, notate those items to be verified by others. A lot of lumberyards can get the calculations from their engineered material suppliers to submit.

The program knows nothing about structural requirements. That is for an engineer to calculate, or you to consult the span charts for your region from the building code.

Try using an angled soffit and see what material you can make it from to look like a cable. Even using a galvanized steel might look ok. Set the bottom to be at the rim joist height and the top height to the height you want it to be to clear the window.

That's one of the drawbacks to the architectural programI believe. There isn't much flexibility. Upgrade to pro and you can adjust the joist heights.

Use a comment.

Which version of the program do you have? The reference manual will be a great help in explaining how to build trusses. Depends on what you mean by "building in detail?"

Since you have the rise/run figured out, make 2 separate stair sections and connect them. The lower can have railings on 2 sides and go up the number of treads until it hits the ceiling. Don't use automatic heights. Then create the second stair section w/railing where you want/don't want it. You can then connect the bottom of the 2nd stair set to the 1st and it will look like a full set of stairs.

For my 2 cents, I would start with the lowest. That will put the footings you have chosen for the deck in the ground. Then the rest should build with just posts connecting to the one below.

You could try a vertical cylinder from the shapes

In the bonus catalogs, there are some wine storage companies that you can download. They might have something you can use in them. I think they're under the specialty tab

With Pro, you can open the door, check the "separate trim and materials on each side" box and change the door and casing colors there. The trim, or jamb, will be changed to whatever material color the exterior is. Hope that helps?

Ok. Post your plan and I am sure Solver will go over it, since he gets involved with most everything that gets posted here.

should be able to go to a perpendicular wall. You can copy them on floor 1 or wherever they are, then go up a floor level and "paste and hold position" Or even spend some time with your reference manual

Click on the windows required holding down the shift key. Then you can copy/paste them where you wish. You will see that as you select them, the outline will include them and the center of the move box will move.

It looks like the protrusion on the left image is a straight wall, while the image on the right shows that area being stepped. So maybe the wall wasn't aligned with the correct walls below?

In Pro 2019, 3 floors could have been the max the program allowed?

It's very random, as manufacturers update at different times. A good habit to get into is checking for updates regularly and updating after you download a new catalog. It's a quick process.

I guess I'm struggling with why you got the program if you didn't intend to learn it? It's an incredible design tool and well worth the investment of time to learn.
