  1. I guess I missed the 2022 update.  Looks like it came out in July of 2021.  I usually update every year.  Must be getting old.  Thanks for the info Rookie65

  2. When did version 2023 become available and didn't 2022 just come out sometime around March   Also noticed a steep price increase for Pro.  I was just going to upgrade to pro 2022 from 2021 (normally $95.00) and noticed that the upgrade to 2023 (don't see 2022 available) would be $295.00.  Getting a little pricey to keep current with the upgrades.

  3. my previous post on this stated that I didn't think it was doable but after checking out exactly what Solver was saying I found out it works perfectly.  You can change both the trim and door to be different on the exterior and the interior just like Solver was saying.  Sorry about my previous post being inaccurate.

  4. I have fooled around with this a little bit because it should be something doable.  Often the outside of a door trim is different than the inside. The materials give you the option to modify the exterior and interior but they both change when changing either one.   It does't seem to be able to be done in this program.  It does let you change the inside and outside of the door to different colors but not the trim.  Should be something that support can address and fix.  

  5. Thank you for your response Derek.  I have been updating HD Pro every year since I purchased it in 2007.  I love the program and look forward to every years' new version.  I will be upgrading  to the 2022 version soon.  As a side note It would be great in the future to expand the number of layout pages in the HD series.  Thanks again for your quick and informative reply

  6. I have often found info on how to do something on the chief architect site that I wasn't able to easily find on the home designer site.  Since Pro is a lot like the chief software I see no harm in going there and I will continue to do so when needed.  You should be able to get information, tips, and techniques from what ever source available.  I understand you and David Potter are quite busy and have your hands full trying to answer all the questions that come into the site, and with that in mind I use what ever source I can to get an answer with out having to add one more question to your list. I thank you for what you do.

  7. select the hinge in the library and move it anywhere into your plan. Open the hinge and modify as needed.  Move it into position on the door.hinge1.jpg.cde5d89a36fd8899d532a4f1dd5639b0.jpghinge placed into plan from the library.  Open and modify696569841_hingeresize.thumb.jpg.3fce0be94526105c0761d4cf4f456a99.jpg

  8. I'm not familiar with the Architectural version but fooling around with this in pro I was able to use a full height cabinet, place it in front of a doorway, remove the shelves, and replace the material of the cabinet to transparent glass and the inside cabinet color to transparent glass also remove the toe kick. This simulates the look that you are seeking. There are probably many ways to get this to look like you want it to.  Just mess around with the cabinet options and you'll get something that looks right.  Solver is right in that you cannot remove the back of the cabinet but making it transparent looks the same.
