tjcoy747chief Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) I first have to state I am not a designer so apologize for ignorance of some of my questions. I have used CAD for mechanical engineering and have done many remodeling jobs durning my life time but using this CAD design software is a 1st. I am trying to get the basics done for a vacation home to be built in Philippines. In the Philippines the stand build is concrete and center block ( they call hollow block. I have been using this software now for 2 years in a part time way since building is not to take place till this time next year. I am far from using a fraction of the power of this program but recently decided on some major changes and found that because of my lack of knowledge of this software I never really built the foundation properly which of course has caused all the work to be voided in that changes can't not be made. --- Sorry for all this explaining but my real question is on how do I lay out my Slab with footing when it comes to one wall being an arc. I am going back watching the video again but if anyone could please send me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Again I never did do the foundation right so changes not going to happen so starting over hopefully with proper foundation. --- Thanks Very much for your time and consideration, Tim Tablas 1st real drawing 2nd floor done with open bottom now deck 15.plan --- Tim Home Designer Pro 2017 Build 18.3.2.2x64 Oct 25 2016 Edited March 27, 2017 by tjcoy747chief Forgot Signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Design-Build Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hello, I am using Home Designer Suite 2017 Build 18.3.2.2OSX I am trying to follow the videos, but many things seem to be hidden or missing, such as a slab tool, custom countertops and back splash; variety of cabinet designs, color choices, etc. Is my program without these features are am I not looking in the right place? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Design-Build Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Sorry, not familiar with starting a new thread and hoping there was activity here. If Suite does not have those features, do they offer substitutes? A slab seems a pretty standard construction feature not to have available. Appreciate the assist.
