  1. It depends on gate design and hardware chosen for latch. If latch sticks out past door the it would hit that wallprior to closing so you would narrow gate width and maybe add a block behind the latch catch on wall. I have seen it done many ways and all depends on hardware. Now in HD would add jamb made from 2x4 pressure treated.
  2. Should be - have you tried to create a new WALL TYPE Check the help on WALL TYPEs. This is where you start with outer most wall layer and work you way inside until inner most layer such as Sheetrock. Can also have AIR GAPS and you get to adjust thickness of every layer. So maybe one way to make this wall is to start with outer layer: EXTERIOR 1 - Vertical metal siding and thickness would be roughly - 1.25" thick to account for ridges 2- Air Gap space for pole barn columns and horizontal members - I dunno 6" (check with pole barn design) 3- Air Gap space between stud wall and steel - 1" 4 - Foam board for thermal break - 1/2" 5 - House wrap -0 MAIN LAYER 6 - Stud wall with insulation - 3.5" or 5.5" - INTERIOR 7- Sheetrock - 1/2" Not hard you just have to find the screen. one way is draw a wall then click on it to open edit dialogue. Then go to WALL TYPE TAB and click EDIT or NEW
  3. What is budget? I mean jam it full of: Motherboard & Processor Chip HD Size memory video card model & Memory LARGE 17" screen else get you a docking station with 1-2 monitors in the 20's or larger as furniture can hold I went to cyberpower PC as best deal when I needed new laptop They make gaming computers and have many choices So they easily have something for any budget. Also you can customize about everything in it so you get what you want. And tons of these options have special offers, prices etc so you can get a 2TB drive for price of 1TB as exmple
  4. is 30x48 even a paper size? Engineers like ANSI size paper: I know 34x44 is ANSI E size which is great because when printed it can be folded up to an A size 8.5x11 Architects for some reason like bigger paper 36x48 is ARCH E 30x42 is some new ARCH E1 size. yeah I know no help sorry but I am curious your paper size is different.
  5. pro has staggered studs for some reason under STRUCTURE tab when you select and open a wall to edit.. Hit HELP for way more info on how it works. Also go to wall definitions and adding wall layers etc to suit what you want. There really is a ton of info for software under help.. hard part is finding which command to get help with Hence why I tell people play around before going straight into modeling your first project. you need to learn software
  6. highlight one of those rooms. Click EDIT or open go to STRUCTURE tab Click help button lower right Read help about ceiling - especially SHELF CEILING I mean the help for Shelf screen explains you issue to the T From the help screen on SHELF CEILINGS
  7. in your picture you show a GABLE end over the one end I can see. That changes ridge length since it goes all the way to this Gable end over wall. your model does not have gable end any where. You have hip roof over the 4 walls. The roof ends up being the roof based on: Exterior Wall locations Wall Height Roof Pitch (slope) Overhand from exterior walls both for hip and gable style roofs. There are more but these are the basics. so draw your house plan get it right then choose which walls are gable and hip, check your room ceiling height as it sets wall height. then make the roof. Worrying about Ridge length is not the way to go about this. Maybe this is a language translation thing?
  8. change overhang for those walls then rebuild roof. In effect that is what you are doing if you keep roof plane slope. Or do want different roof plane slopes? Kinda confusing what you want as extending ridge has to be accounted for somehow.
  9. yes you can use things pretty much anywhere is what I learned by playing around.
  10. how are you puting the tile into the model? Have you tried custom backsplash which has editable thickness?
  11. request is not detailed enough to answer. Have copy of plan and maybe pictures of house or sketches of what you want done?
  12. what floor level is tha screen shot taken from? DO you have show ceilings on in the display layer tool?
