    How to put stone on wall? Home Designer Suite 8.0

    I'm trying to make a fireplace like the one on this page: http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/...roomscene.html
    The directions simply say to "Give the wall a stone texture." Help! I don't find any textures anywhere in my libraries that look like that. I'm hoping I'm just looking in the wrong place.

    I'm using Home Designer Suite 8.0.

    Thanks!

    Download the Manufacturers Libraries for v8 to get the Cultured Stone library.

    Patty, one thing that I have learned is that the default size (usually 20 x 20) makes the stone look huge and odd on the fireplace walls.

    I have found that for smaller, not hunting lodge size rooms, changing the size from 20 to 10 makes them more realistic looking in a smaller environment. In smaller rooms the default looks like you have used boulders instead of rocks on the fireplace. LOL

    Got it! Thanks!

    Yes, I was missing the manufacturer's library for 8.0. Looks great!
