Re: Main wall with balcony wall

I guess the connection is not properly formed, perhaps the vertex of the balcony wall does not properly reach the main wall's axis. Try using the Tools > Rebuild Wall command on that wall. Anyway, since the two walls are likely of different heights, you can also disable the joint on the start/end he...

Re: Importing DWG

Re: Issue with Title Blocks

Thanks for your report. There was an issue with the editing of attribute definitions that was resolved today.
A temporary workaround would be to use the Object Info panel to move and resize the attribute. If you are willing to try a beta of HD R8.3, we can send you a download link via email or DM.

Re: Critical printing issue

Check out the latest HighDesign R8.2. We believe this was Apple's fault, which became very apparent in macOS Sequoia where the classic Page Setup dialog only shows the generic printer's settings. In R8.2 we updated the Printer Setup dialog on macOS and it now provides the correct page settings for t...
