2) I kept drawing a rectangle moving the cursor around until by some
magic
the starting face was aligned to the right axis to get the initial box.
So, now to add the porch addition, how do you set a distance from one
end
as the start point for the next rectangle to pull out of the face??? At
least, from watching videos, that seems the way to make the shape but
all
they do is free hand, not matching an existing/wanted specific location.


Use the Tape Measure to mark the starting point.


Oh. I'll have to give that a go...thnx. Hadn't seen this reply
earlier...


Be sure to turn what you have into a component before you start adding
stuff to it.
