Seems like a simple thing to add but for some reason I can't see any info on it in the help or library? thanks, John home designer pro 2014

thanks...that is what I finally downloaded. I think that is where the crown trim came from. I just doesn't allow me to put crown molding on it. Unless I'm missing something?

Unfortuanately mine doesn't have it in the library Interiors> Accessories> then no Kitchen Items. I looked for a download but couldn't find one. You did make me think harder and I found this under "crown trim". It doesn't let me add the crown molding but at least I'm starting to get the point accross. I appreciate your help. ps...I'm sure it's just me, this is the first house I ever designed and first time to use this kind of s/w. I just decided I didn't want to go back and forth with a designer when I had my own vision.

The window cornice is another area that is giving me fits. I'm trying to use the wall cabinet tool but cannot get the front shape correct or even close. Am I missing something?​ Thanks, JHawk

The first two items is how I built it just as described. It worked perfect except for the issue I described.

Yep...all cabinets facing the the right direction (inner towards the inside and outer towards the outside)

Ok...it was a little tricky but not so hard... I used LawB's method. If you look closely you can see that the full size cabinets on the inner island no longer automatically come to a point so it leaves a gap. Haven't figured out why since they did before I added the "outer" cabinets.

wow...several ways to get there. I'll work on it and let you know how it turns out. thanks! JHawk

Good morning! I'm trying to design my island similar to this picture and cannot figure out where to start. I built the cabinets, etc. but can't figure out the other side where the seating is. Like how to add the structure and legs. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, JHawk

Scary....but I may consider that when I'm done. I don't think I have anything actually attached to the roof or that would be affected. It looks super complex because the house is so big and odd shaped with several ceiling heights.

It is totally a basic slab. I was afraid if I start messing with it all the auto stuff might screw up?

Ok...it seemed easy enough. Then I found that some did not have the option and realized I had to go to the "floor below" or actually the foundation. That was ok but if I align the walls I get the attached message wanting me to turn off the auto rebuild foundation. I'm afraid that might cause me all kinds of issues? Thoughts?

It worked great...thanks.

That makes sense...how do I actually do that? I figured I just needed to find the actual attic wall to start with but that's not quite so easy. I went into the layer display settings thinking I could just turn off the normal walls and leave on the attic walls to fix it but that doesn't work. Any tips here are greatly appreciated. Hey Eric, yes it has grown. At the rate we're going San Antonio to Austin will be one huge metroplex. Traffic is murder on I-35.

I am getting errors on quite a few walls that tells me I need to align the walls. Most of them I can just hit the "align with wall above" and it fixes the error. But on some of them it moves the wall enough that I don't want to move it. Oh, and this is a single story house. Do I have to fix these errors or is it something I can ignore? Any insight or thoughts on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks, JHawk

Hi David, I'm just down the road just south of San Antonio. This is great to hear as I am getting near that stage. I've done a killer design (at least I think so...) and just need a little help with some minor cleanup and then figuring out how to get drawings made so I can start bidding out the foundation first and then the entire project. This is my first time to ever use the program so it's been quite a challenge but fun and interesting. Can I pm you? thanks, JHawk

It did work...this program is crazy, thank goodness for all your help! JHawk

Wow...nice trick. I finally got back to my plans and this worked nicely. But...with one exception. I had to use the "custom countertop" method to get the crown molding to work correctly which was fine and easy everywhere until I added the soffit above a cabinet with a sink in it. Both soffits above the sinks have a hole in them for the sink. At first I couldn't figure out what was going on but then I realized it was just trying to create the hole for the sink even though it was a foot thick, drywall, on the ceiling. Is there something else I can convert it to and still get the crown molding to work right? Many thanks for all your help! As a first time designer and one time home builder this help has saved me! JHawk

Ok...tried to fix the shower and it's better...I guess. But still not sure how to get the soffit up top to look right. Floor Plan.plan

Thanks...I've been struggling with that area. I will give it a try. Crazy how many tricks there are to this program...

I'm running an Intel HD Graphics 4000 on a brand new Dell Inspiron 3647 computer on Windows 10. As soon as I change the ceiling height to 10' the problem goes away. When I lower it back to 9' it reappears. If I drag the wall over a little it moves the line I'm referring to. It definitely gives the appearance of an issue because it even reshapes the line depending on where I drag the invisible wall to. Oops...scratch that, I just realized that I'm not designing on my Desktop, I am actually doing it on my Surface Pro 3.

Ok...I think I've figured out why it is giving me these lines. I think there is some kind of an error because I am transitioning from a 10' ceiling to a 9' ceiling in this room (really more of a corridor). When I change it to 10' the lines go away and everything seems to be right. I'm wondering if I really just need to make it 10'?

Hey Kbird...thanks for all the tips. I added my s/w to my signature and did a little checking into the invisible wall settings in my s/w. It appears I cannot set my wall to 0" or anything real small. I have been debating upgrading my software but am only designing one house to live in and doesn't seem worth the cost but if I keep on having issues I may be forced to. I'm not a big computer wizard so I'm going to have to figure out the video card thing. Not something I've ever really played with.

I'm running 2014 so I'm not sure if that's why I can't find anything that says Room Divider?

I think you might have me on the trail to fixing the master bath. I made it a half wall and that helped it. I still need to play with the shower glass. I made it a second wall with a railing and it seems to be making the crown molding do weird stuff.
