  1. 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.

  2. 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?

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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?

     

  6. 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?

  7. 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..
