  1. well if already in your plan - on left of material screen you have choice library or plan Choose PLAN as it is a short list of those you have put into your plan at one time or another. Some may not being used at moment and can be PURGED out or left alone.
  2. open the room within the U walls and the other side you seem to have a hidden wall to make it a room. Open room edit feature GO to structure tab CLICK HELP Read about ceiling control features. PAy attention to SHELF CEILING I think you will find it suits your needs
  3. try framing? I duuno I am running PRo 2024 and it has rough opening.
  4. check under door edit rough opening clearance above door since you do not have casing to cover any gaps you must have the clearance very small not including Jamb,
  5. Hey I was just guessing as I did not and still confused on what he wants. I am sure it is something simple.. Oh well I need more coffee
  6. how is it coveered? Using HOUSe ROOF or a separate roof with differeent material and pitch.. Example house is 12:!2 pitch with architectural shingles. Covered porch is aluminum stuff from the gutter guy.. IF same and part of house roof just make it a deck Click on room edit button for it and I think go to structure tab. Then check ROOF over this room. IF different just make a custom roof plane and set it up to your liking
  7. I think it is nature of the software since t does not know which one you want to stick thru to other side of door. As some tile guys use that marble threshold or maybe a piece of wood trim. They need an option under door edit screen to say where flooring meet. Something like, Interior door edge, Middle door, Exterior door. Then define threashold where it is material and how wide do you want it and how high above floor.
  8. OR create new one based off old one. but for texture take picture and edit it and clean up and use that in material definition. I do that all the time to show the wife what the FLOOR will look like by using web pictures of chosen tile. Same thing for some siding I put on fireplace - Home Depot has some good picture. And the more of these you make the better you get at it. Heck I did it for my exterior brick since I was not happy with what was in library. Went outside and took a good picture
  9. Dims you have if you look close at what arrows point to are normally the STUDs not the interior or exterior surfaces. So if the dims you are looking at on paper plan are from interioryou need to subtract sheetrock thickness times 2. The dims under room are from interior surface and well not meant for building from but just to give an idea since it shows MAX dims which if you have a dogleg in room makes it funky
  10. what software version do you have?
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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?
  18. 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.
  19. yes you can use things pretty much anywhere is what I learned by playing around.
  20. how are you puting the tile into the model? Have you tried custom backsplash which has editable thickness?
  21. what floor level is tha screen shot taken from? DO you have show ceilings on in the display layer tool?
