Where can I find White Lacquer finish material?
y-g-m-n replied to KenAnderson's topic in Tips & Techniques
Attach screen shot of this existing cabinet with WHITE LAQUER finish? Open the edit page for it. Go to the Material tab for it Post screen shot of Material page for this cabinet. See my example. Show me where you have this white laquer finish to begin with... Then we can find it -
Try turning off the CEILING planes to see rafters or roof plane since you have a vaulted ceiling the rafters are sandwiched in between.
-
does it have frame? look at wall art and just change material of art to mirror. Custom backsplash works for those mirror glass glued to the walls.
-

wall covering is meant for wall paper or maybe rooms with different horizontal colors. like tan from chair rail down and off-white above. Tile on wall should eb done with CUSTOM BACKSPLASH so you account for thickness OR make a NEW WALL DEFINITION with tile being applied to drywall or backer board or the orange Dietrich water proof membrane. Probably other ways to cheat system and make pretty 3d models - as there are a lot of flat objects you can stick onwall and change thickness and material to be tile. flat mirrors, cabinet partitions, 3D shapes on and on. but I think custom backsplash is best

I know in PRO you an as it is done inside cabinet edit window not by certain door. Door & drawer size vary depending on how you hve cabinet set up. so I think it is on second tab and you select FRAME or FRAMELESS. then inset door or overlay or full overlay. With a value for actual overlay and face frame width. If confused look at help screen for cabinets or I am sure they have videos.

always best to dim from wall studs as that is what built per dimensions and framing crew will need that info. Sheet rock is just laid on the stud wall so they do not need to be dimensioned. Now if you are measuring exsiting just add 2 times Wall board thickness (1/2" in USA) to dims you actually measured to get to stud dims.

pffffffffffffffft Dayum you grumpy
-
cool I learned something - lot of steps to get there but cool - I hope I remember I used to just explode - edit - re-block together.
-
I posted a link to system requirements and it has a minimum and preferred list of what to get and then footnotes. not sure what else you need?
-
try selecting both and then hitting the ARCHITECHURAL BLOCK button. It will then combine but you lose the edit screen for each so make sure they are located where yo want them. Also use the HELP screen with this command.

I do not understand how it got this way? BOX? Maybe upload this portion of your plan. -

RENDERING TCHNIQUE OPTIONS THey also have a new one called PHYSICAL View which is aweseom but you need some graphic card power and memory or you will be waiting for the rendering to happen.

Home Designer Pro 2021 Does Not Show Width/Depth with the Specified Values
y-g-m-n replied to BeginnerMorle's topic in Q&A
3d shapes in library: They are very powerful when you need to create something not in a catalog. I have used them for pipes, conduit, AC Line Set covers, etc. Note they can be rotated when viewing in 3d viewing When yo uget to one and click edit click the help screen and read about SHAPES. Road map to shapes: HOME DESIGNER CORE CATALOGS - SHAPES -- BOXES -
turn off auto roof. also if you rebuild roof there is button on first page about leaving edited or modofied auto roofs alone.

Home Designer Pro 2021 Does Not Show Width/Depth with the Specified Values
y-g-m-n replied to BeginnerMorle's topic in Q&A
my guess is you used a shelf to make this post and since that is under cabinets it automatically creates filler strips to have it touch wall. Try making it from a SHAPE - Rectangle vertical.. You can change the dims andmaterial to your liking. then ensure you have SHAPES turned on in VIEWING -
for front draw invisible wall where you want the gable end - select wall type to be whatever you want the gable end to be. MAke sure you select GABLE END under the roof edit tab for this wall. Now if you have visible beam under gable end you could make this wall a RAILING and select post to beam

Cabinet doors and drawers do not appear in floor plan view
y-g-m-n replied to KenAnderson's topic in Q&A
in a normal PLAN views the doors are not drawn nor shown. Just the cabinet Carcass or box is shown. Now you can click on the open doors and drawers in pan view and they will show up then as dotted lines. -
Where can I find White Lacquer finish material?
y-g-m-n replied to KenAnderson's topic in Tips & Techniques
First CLick on object in your plan that has this existing white Laquer color. OPen up the edit screen Go to material tab. Click & Highlight the part that shows this white laquer color Then to right of it you can click on SELECT MATERIAL under 2 squares showing examples of existing material you have highlighted. This will open a new MATERIAL SELECTION screen. (see attachment screen shot) I point with red arrow where you click to go to a NEw Screen that lists only material used in PLAN. IT should open up with your highlighted Material being highlighted in the list. Now look to the right in the middle below those 2 swatch boxes you will see a link to ADD TO LIBRARY. click that and it adds it to your custom library, so it is easier to find in future. Or do nothing but maybe write material name down so you do not forget and then can back out of everything and go search in full library for it and find it to see if there are more. -
I would ensure platform with angled stairs is to the dims they show. that 6" along the inside edge is what gives you the 10" at the walk line. So do what you must to get that 6" and everything should work out. Choice as I see it is make stairs narrower or platform steps bigger. Or U shaped stairs?

USE TERRAIN ELEVATION TOOLS. They have elevation points, lines and splines. Insert these points, lines etc and give each an elevation (after drawing select for edit and in the edti screen is all sorts of things and ELEVATION being one of them) Then after they are all in go and REBUILD Terrain. All sorts of terrain things covered in help screen manual. If you have survey plans with elevation lines you can import data sometimes. Strongly suggest checking out help screen and search some topics on elevation - click on links in there and dig down and then practice. Heck might be a video on HD support page
