Rassco Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi All, I am a new user to Home Designer Architectural 2016 and would need a hand please. I have managed to define my wall types with the different layers, however one of the items I require is 1x3 furring strips but they are nowhere to be found and I cant seem to be able to create them with 12"o.c. Please help .. Thanks Stephane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 We need them here too so I made some out of the standard framing materials a while back in both 1 3/4" wide and 3" wide at 12 and 16" oc , so you can try these ones I made and see if they work for you.... note they are not true 3D objects so may not show in all views . Import them as normal or double click on the file to install, then when you define your wall, choose the spacing and size needed in the wall Layer as needed and set the thickness , usually 3/8" here if treated ply or 3/4" if treated 1x3..

Rassco Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Thats AMAZING .. Thank you Just for my personal learning, how do we add to the items to the user library, while specifying for example the 12"oc and other attributes ... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 In this case I customised an Existing material ....Fir Framing , and changed the sizes,spacing and texture (picture) , there are some Tutorials in the KB on this kind of thing. The KB is always a good place to start if you have questions, lots of good tutorials there http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00924/49/Home-Designer/Materials/Customizing-a-Material.html http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00138/49/Home-Designer/Materials/Adding-a-Custom-Material.html http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-01084/49/Home-Designer/Materials/Creating-a-Custom-Library-Material.html http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-01202/49/Home-Designer/Materials/Importing-Custom-Materials.html http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00863/49/Home-Designer/Materials/Rotating-the-Direction-of-a-Material.html http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00732/49/Home-Designer/Materials/Incorporating-Colors-from-Photographs-or-Websites-into-your-Designs.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
