After i download a library like wayfair /azek  can i save / organize  them to a file on my computer?  After i do that can i delete the file in the download section being it is in the program ??

what does the room divider tool look like & where do i find it 

 yes it is what we are talking about  I am trying to  make a custom stair tread for a deck stairs . the spelling is a computer error lmao  THANKS ERIC !!!!! i figured it out  sometimes things are so simple !!   

1 -  use custom countertop tool 

2 - draw & edit  ( always watch those little red handles ) set all defaults

3 - for wood grains -  break edges as required to make wd grains look more realistic ,  might req. more sections for wd grains 

I  dont know what i did wrong with the plan , you cant open it  ? SO IF CHIEF PREMIER THE MOULDING would be easier ? 

i really  dont understand this  how do i get the green & grey lines , do the colors appear when you break lines  ?? I found the stretch to fit area . Would step by step be asking to much ?? I hope not 

WHY DID THEY MOVE WHERE YOU GET INTO HOME PRO ???  ANYONE KNOW  ?? AND THEN THEY PUT WORDS LIKE NEW USERS  !!!! I FIND STUFF LIKE THAT ANNOYING 

double check moulding heights & cabinet heights , it appears like the cabinets might be to high , i see them above the wall line 

There are options in the stair defaults  to do what you are asking .I dont remeber where i seen them though

I have lots of notes on here so i dont forget what i did lmao !!!  STAIR THREADS ARE  MARKED 1 & 2 . 1 IS THE  BEST I CAN DO SO FAR 

L STAIRS.plan

 NOW YOU ARE REALLY TESTING ME ERIC LMAO  I was just going to try to do that   i managed to get it to work    i was using 3 seperate pieces , instead of using the break line tool . Now i have issues with the wood grain lmao !!!! Can i send the picture right from that drawing , or send the whole plan ?? And if so how

I found it   When  you want to create a block for some items hold the shift key down & drag a square  ( MARQUE ) around those items , You should see the aritectural block icon  ( blue & red BOX ) in the bottom edit tool bar .

i tried using the custom countertop tool , that seems to work well . However when i look at the drawing in plan view i notice some sides have a line that follows the 45 degree angle & some others do not  . The ones that have the continuos  line do show the miters  being connected & the ones that dont have the continuos show the miters  meeting correct     Anything thoughts as to what i might  be doing wrong ?   Does where  i click with the red handles have   anything to do with it ? 

i have had issues finding also  !!!  i have seen it pop up though lol  !!! I believe it shows up in certain views  Try searching architectural blocks in the search area @ the top of the screen under your user name .Also fill out your signature card PLEASE IT HELPS SO MUCH TO KNOW WHAT VERSION & PROGRAM YOU ARE USING .Click on your name go to account settings , on the left side of the screen click on signature . you will see another window like an e mail type your info in there

 THANKS  THE LEARNING CURVE CAN BE EXHAUSTING  LOL  I just tried it with a slab , There are so many ways to do the same things  !!! now i cant find where to change grain direction on the stair stringers  , any thoughts  ??

if i set my stair thread overhang to ( 0" )  on left & right & change the thread depth , can i make a slab with nosing ?  in a cross sec. you would see the slab being 1/16" thick & the nosing would be edited in cad to show a 1 "  radius on the front edge ?

GOT IT  

thats it  are there any videos on the materilas 

thanks for the quick reply !! i got it to work having an issue with the left & right returns , the grain is going opposite  was just getting lazy lol & tired of reading :(now i have to figure out how to fix the grain on the stair stringers . god i love this program 

i would like to apply a wood grain to a deck board   5 1/2" wide by 42" , i want the grain to be running the length of the board  42 " . i cant come up with any soulutions to this   i am using it on stair threads to lay on top of the existing stair thread  (  1/16" thick ) miter  ( 45 degree ) on each end & have returns on the left & right side from the thread nosing to the next riser .  i can figure out how to make these 3 items just cant get the grain to follow   Help please

For  anyone interested  I feel the up grade from 2017 to 2018 is well worth the $99.00 !!!!  The stair features are great  !!! I feel they will make drawings on decks alot more realistic  !!!

changing the top & bottom rails to azek componets works very realistics !!!!  once agAin THANK YOU   SOLVER & DAVE POTTER  !! AT 62 YEARS OLD THE LAST TIME WAS THIS EXCITED WAS WHEN I SEEN MY FIRST COPY OF PENTHOUSE MAGAZINE LMAO 

THANK YOU DAVE  !  just hoping my hard drive can handle more learning lol

deck test transform replicate.plan  can anyone help with my stair questions says help in red # 3

i really dont follow your second sentence about the 2 3" dimensions . Have you tried the point to point tool ??

i have home pro 2017 DAVE 

yes i only need to see it in  a plan view not 3d .it is for hole alignment relative to the joist & other blocking getting in the way . Lag bolts can be used  on 3 holes but one carriage bolt would also be nice ! I need to have these items blocked together  ( the sq & the 4 holes ) put into library & use it at all diffrent locations in plan view 

I am trying to make a metal plate  ( 3 1/2" square )  with 4 holes for  a deck post . i want it to be transparent (  transparent wont highlight ) so i can see where the holes will line up with framing & joist .Once i make the sq with the 4 holes how do i block them togther to move them as a unit ?
