Title: Eves, window grids, Ext Trim & other random fine tuning questions.
Post by: wcloomis on May 04, 2021, 11:38:59 PM
Turbo FloorPlan 3D Home & Landscape Pro 2019 for Apple/Mac.  Version 20.0.1 n


1. Boxed Eves
- Is there a way to box the eves when drawing a custom roof?

2.  Casment Window Grids
- The grid modification is greyed out in all my options for windows.  Is there a way to modify the number of "grid lites".

3.  Editing Roof Intersection
- The main gable in my project is showing through the intersecting gabel.  When I tried to remove the section with the dormer cutout tool, you still see the edge of the fascia in the 3d Model.  When I tried to make a custom main roof gable, it would elevate from the middle of the home instead of the outside wall.

4.  Window Color & Trim
- Is there a way to have separate interior an exterior colors?  For example Black exterior windows, with white interior. 
- Is there a way to have different size trim in the exterior vs the interior?


5.  Island Cabinet
- Is there a way or method to specify bead board on the backside of the island cabinet, while maintaining doors/drawers on the front?
- Is there a way to attach a baseboard around the perimeter when removing the toe kick?
- When using 45 degree angles on island cabinets, how are people connecting them so there are not openings between on the back?

6.  Exterior Finishes
- I made small 8" walls to add frieze boards where I needed them across the front gables
- Is there a way to add banded corners easily (Ex. Outside corners of siding are white but siding is grey)
- Is there a way to add trim along the upper rake of a gable (as marked in picture)

7.  Printing
- Text is moving out of place when printing to scale.  How can this be avoided?

Hi there,

You didn't post the images but anyway, I'll try to answer your questions:

Boxed Eves
- Is there a way to box the eves when drawing a custom roof?

Use the Floor Tool

2.  Casment Window Grids
- The grid modification is greyed out in all my options for windows.  Is there a way to modify the number of "grid lites".

Automatic Grid Styles are available only for the first two Default Windows. If you need Custom Windows, please check my Doors and Windows collection in this page of my website (https://www.punchhelpers.com/collection-5.html).

3.  Editing Roof Intersection
- The main gable in my project is showing through the intersecting gabel.  When I tried to remove the section with the dormer cutout tool, you still see the edge of the fascia in the 3d Model.  When I tried to make a custom main roof gable, it would elevate from the middle of the home instead of the outside wall.

Create freehand roofs => as I know that you have my eBook, please check page 85.

4.  Window Color & Trim
- Is there a way to have separate interior an exterior colors?  For example Black exterior windows, with white interior.
- Is there a way to have different size trim in the exterior vs the interior?

These options are not available

5.  Island Cabinet
- Is there a way or method to specify bead board on the backside of the island cabinet, while maintaining doors/drawers on the front?
- Is there a way to attach a baseboard around the perimeter when removing the toe kick?
- When using 45 degree angles on island cabinets, how are people connecting them so there are not openings between on the back?

These options are not available unless you have Custom 3D cabinets  => you can check my Cabinets Collection in this page of my website (https://www.punchhelpers.com/collection-6.html)

6.  Exterior Finishes
- I made small 8" walls to add frieze boards where I needed them across the front gables
- Is there a way to add banded corners easily (Ex. Outside corners of siding are white but siding is grey)
- Is there a way to add trim along the upper rake of a gable (as marked in picture)

For horizontal top walls, you can use Crown Molding (Trim library). For pitched wall ends, you must create a custom object.

7.  Printing
- Text is moving out of place when printing to scale.  How can this be avoided?

Regarding this issue, please contact tech support so they can check your computer settings.

Hope this helps.
