go to the specific tile material and edit it. I think on second tab is where you can set surface from Matte to shiny and other things to adjust how it looks in real world.

pretty sure KOHLER library has one.

check material files

finishes would be shown in 3D views or at least elevations and cross sections not a plan view. Cannot see wall surface in plan view.

pretty sure what you have will. insert your door. Click on it to highlight and then open DOOR edit DIALOGUE. On left side, click on ARCH tab. many choices in there for you to get creative. In fact when you get to that edit page click the help button to open up the help screen for door arches. Tons of info there to describe how to make an arched door. Most of this stuff is covered in help manual and by playing around with item you are interested in "Tweaking" it is about playing with software and looking at everything i nthose edit screens to see what you can do

Open up window Edit Dialogue box thingy. Could be FRAME. PLay wth it to see. Seems HD PRo thinks all windows are made from Wood As it is difficult to model aluminum or Vinyl windows very easy

use spray paint can thingy. or best way would be to make a new wall definition as you have to attach stone veneer to something. SO keep the exterior to the studs and then decide; sheetrock or a durarock backer board to attach to studs. Then add a scratch coat from library materials underlayment. Then add metal lath Then top with thinset mortar and finaly the stone veneer of your choice. Make sur eyo uenter proper thickness of everything so walls drawn properly in plan view and things fit when built.

Looks like issues with stem wall?

I have it I guess from many years ago?? but way too large to attach something like 70MB. So here are the T-series T files.calibz

read about custom backsplash.

CROSS SECTION is layer you look for:

proper drafting would be section lines on plan to show where section view is. Try using cross section elevation under 3D orthographic views Then in plan view turn go to TOOLS - DISPLAY OPTIONS and turn on Section lines. See if that does not help - I have never really used it much but might do what you want.

so why do you draw them in plan views?

need to create a PORCH type room with roof.

stud height is based on ceiling height and number of bottom and upper plates and the size of the lumber you chose. So if you want 92.625" studs, 1.5" plates (1 bottom & 2 on top), 5/8" Ceiling sheetrock Ceiling height = 92.625+4.5-.625 = 96.5" WHich is great as the wall sheet rock installed tight to CEiling leaves a 1/2" gap to floor to help prevent it from soaking up moisture. All tis should be set up in the DEFAULT SETTINGS first and then you can tweak less things as you create plan. And there are a lot of choices in Defaults and the first time I set it up how I like took hours as so many things to look at and set.

would require a much taller wall so a little geometry calcs to figure out top plate elevation which will set the ridge... Or maybe copy the roof plane on right and mirror over the other sort side. Then manual extend walls up. Roof cannot sit out in space hovering over nothing... needs a wall to rest on just like a real house.

TURN BUMPING off....that might be what is preventing you from shoving it into wall.

If part of a railing wall and you use these columns for the posts then you can select HALF POST at ends.

MAybe play with the 3d Shapes in library and slap against wall and then "PAINT" with look you want be it brick or siding.

chief architect or home designer - PRO?

I prefer to just keep wall defs as they are without paint as some rooms you may not want to paint and no reason to have a bunhc of duplicate wall defs with just different colors. Then draw house and set a default wall color. Then if I want a room different color I just click on room and open dialogue and then go to materials tab and change color of wall to what ever paint color I want. Another way is in 3d views to use the spray paint gun tool and you can paint just that wall, or room or every wall like that one on that floor.

draw in sketchup and then import as library item.

If you use it then upgrade is worth it IMHO. Some of the new features are what I have wanted, coming from 2023. I cannot even remember 2022. Not like it is big money even for the hobbyist - Would be nice for it to be cheaper on UPGRADES then new buys.

Add plan as suggested above

post plan or at least screenshot. But you click on room in 2d plan. and open it. On structural tab I think is vertical dimensions of room so you can make that one Different from default. VEry simple to do.
