jykel_43 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I have Home Designer Architectural 2016. Is there a way to add skirting or lattice to a deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I think this should work in HDA , you'll have to try as I don't use HDA , but in the Pic I used a Fence Panel (tongue and groove here) altered to the right height and slide under the deck edge. you may need to turn off deck beams and posts in the 3D view so they don't show through the skirting as I did too... there is lattice in this library that will work too and doesn't need the "fence" each panel is separate and just placed in the right location. http://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/detail/780 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jykel_43 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thanks for the help Mick. I'm a newbie to this so the outside-the-box solutions are very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 if you can learn to think outside the box with HDA , you will do well and save the upgrade to Pro , have a look at some of Forum User JoAnn's posts she has some great workarounds for HDA. like this one https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/1218-i-need-help-with-a-breakfast-bar/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst777 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 In addition to what's already been suggested, there's also bonus catalog called "Wire and Lattice Material" which has a selection of lattice materials.http://3dlibrary.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?r=site/detail/961These work great applied to something like a Closed box shape from the Library Browser reshaped under a deck, which is much quicker/easier than trying to use a fence or lattice symbols, IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi - what do you mean here - sorry, 'applied to something like a closed box shape' ? The lattice objects in my HDPro 16 either squeeze everything to a new size or retain and aspect ratio - which just miniaturises or expands the look and scale of the lattice - from my use anyway.

solver Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Did you use the lattice from the bonus library Kat referred to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think the news ones Kat referred to are Materials you apply to say a fence Panel of other object whereas the ones I mentioned in the Landscape Accents Library are Symbols (objects) so they work differently and can be resized more easily from the premade panels provided.

Thanks Sounds like you're still using the lattice symbol objects, not the materials from the bonus catalog applied to resized shapes like a "Closed" box or a Wedge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfcomm2k Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 OK, so I have downloaded and installed BOTH sets of lattice material within these posts. And I cannot find the "material" referred to by Kat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfcomm2k Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Aahh, I see the download is designated X7/2016, and I am using 2014. I guess that is the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst777 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 You can still create your own custom lattice material which accomplishes the same thing. Just use a Google image search for something like "lattice png" to find and save a photograph of a material that already has the transparency for in between the lattice. Most will probably already be set up to tile well across a large surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
