  1. default settings. I am unsure what you mean as the only thing you could set up are base cabinet heights and counter top thickness No default width as that would never work. For wall cabs you get cabinet height and elevation of bottom or top. What mor do you need?
  2. I delete one and then set the terrain smoothing and triangle count to LOW and rebuilt. That black hole is gone.
  3. must be some funky elevation data and how it calcs the terrain. Maybe remove one contour line at a time until it goes away. One of those lines is probably the cause. Not like you need so many on outside
  4. first off your interior rooms are no defined since you did not close any off. So do not stop wall for doorway. Continue wall to enclose a space. to create a room. Then add in a door where you want it. This is a basic stuff they teach you via help and website info, videos etc. Hel pyourself by first reviewing all that material first.
  5. well go to 3d section view and get it in your view. The click on it and delete.
  6. why 2 threads? What is this attachment?
  7. where are the bedroom closets? From my learnings - it is not a bedroom if it does not have an escape window nor a closet. So if you add closets might need to increase footprint and then you can better plan for the stairs. I mean I would figure out stairs before I did other rooms since it takes up space and interacts with 2 levels. if you leave everything as is I would make U stairs in upper left corner as above poster suggested.
  8. hard to understand what you want. but what I see is the shared wall of house and garage should be an interior type wall. YOu do not want siding on garage interior int he short length do you?
  9. not an option I have seen. Probably could be done by MANUALLY adding things into the framing. USE rectangle shapes or maybe a beam could be modified to work? Can I ask why frame it normally?
  10. how did you make the 10ft area and the 9ft area? Are they different rooms or soffit or what?
  11. I do not see what you are discussing? If walls do not line up check wall thickness as normally program tries to line up studs. or you should line up studs. If not drag them in plan view and use snaps to align studs (main layer) Also you can select stairs and open edit dialogue and turn off handrails against a wall or least turn of balusters etc you need to play more with software to see what it can and cannot do along with click that help button
  12. Try custom countertop but set top @ 1/16. OR slab etc. Secret is the height above floor should be 1/16" or less but above 0 so you can see it. Then change material to whatever border tile you want. They have to have some video or help thing about this one
  13. need some pictures of what you have and what you want. but if it is ATTIC level you need to add second floor without raising existing roof and then you can draw walls and create rooms. Th attic will move to above these rooms. well covered in the help manual

    Roof Build

    What you see is underside of rood sheathing. You have framing turned off and ceiling turned off.
  15. which software are you using as I do not see it listed in signature? also maybe upload plan file so others can play with what you have
  16. in settings somewhere where in it selects ROOM before anything else So if you have cursor over object you want but grabs one nearby Click TAB and it should cycle thru objects near cursor.
  17. for garage roof: Click outer wall and open the object sceen. Then click on ROOF tab. then click HELP lower right Read up on Extend Slope Downward, shed roof & High Gable Me I would just manual edit roof planes over house and drag its right side down over garage and past exterior wall. Then set outer edge to match overhang I wanted. It may cut the outer wall and shorten it or have a gap over this wall and you will need to extend that wall up. IT is about playing with the tools you are giving to find the way to make it look like you want.
  18. what format is this ARCHITECT plan? From HD software or something else? Professional should be able to open ay of the lower tier HD plan files.
  19. not sure what you mean? you say 16" difference in top plate height. Do you want them the same? raise the roof 16" on the lower one to have matching eaves. They would do this by adding a short 16" wall on top of plate to short side.
  20. I doubt it that is an extreme detail I have never seen DRAWN on plans. They are specified with words and that is it. Normally the concrete foundation crew figures it out and puts them in per spec

    Too Much Stuff

    turn off auto dimensions. Also learn to play with the DISPLAY OPTIONS feature which turns on and off visible layers in the current type view, be it plan or any of the 3d

    Tile Plank Flooring

    use the hardwood plank - looks the same. or create new material by using online photos I mad my own from the actual tile I used from Home Cheapo pictures
  23. Gotta ask - How are we making these curved beams? Bending Steel or ??
