Tile Patterns and Furniture Catalogs

[RebeccaF]

Hi! I am new to Home Designer Pro and am taking classes through Kelly Fridline to learn the software quickly. So far, seems pretty user friendly! 
 

I am wondering if anyone has recommendations on where to source furniture catalogs that are compatible with HDP. The options available through chief architect aren’t as current as I’d like.

 

also, does anyone have tile patterns available I could purchase? Looking to build a few bathrooms this week with selections I have already made. 
I can’t seem to find some tile patterns in the program though.

 

thank you so much for your help!

Google 3D Warehouse for a repository of SketchUp models that will import into HD.

 

A web search for furniture symbols might find some more. Be sure they are in a format HD will import.

 

Have you checked the Bonus Catalogs for furniture?

Make sure you understand Patterns and Textures. Patterns are lines, Textures are images. They generally go together along with a set of settings to make a material.

 

Search tile on the Home Designer website for more info.

 

Here is a blog post to get you started: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/blog/advanced-custom-materials/

Thank you! How do you find out what format HD will import? 
 

Yes, starting to delve into the textures! Looking for patterns so I can illustrate on elevations how I’d like the tile installed 

I appreciate your help!
