I am trying to design a small cabin with an outward sloped wall that will have built-in bunks attached. Is there a way to do this with Home Designer Pro 2020? I could use some help with this. Otherwise, I am relegated to the old-fashioned way of drawing with pencil and paper.

Thank you for the response, @Jo_Ann and my apologies for the delay. I attempted what you said but didn't quite work. Can you clarify which wall in the attached screenshot?

Hello! I am trying to get these exterior wall sections to exterior material. I am familiar with using break wall to do this but unsure of how to do it on a diagonal. Any help would be great! HD Suite 2020

I was afraid that was the case. That stinks. Thanks

You might try saving as a DWG or DXF, whichever Pro supports, and then importing.

Nope.

A colleague sent me his file to work on, but he uses the 2020 version of HDP, and I use 2019. I wasn't able to open his file. Is there any way he could save his file, such that I can open it? That seems very poor to me that two consecutive versions can't be compatible to the point of not even being able to open the file at all, yet they have the same extension. Please help. Thanks

Thank you both for replying - I am new to these forums. I have added my signature - I work on Home Designer Pro 2019. Self taught on the program with how to videos and such. I am a Graphic designer not trained in Architecture but learning from the builder I am working for so bare with me if my terms sound amateur. The front gable is easy with a return to give it the same look but for the life of me I can not figure out how to place the one behind it. I have watched so many videos and just when I think I might have found it - it doesn't work. I have included the file that I am working on. Any help would be wonderful - eager to learn more.

Eric I was able to use your info and one of DJP's videos to make the ceiling planes and trusses as shown in the attached plan file...I know the results are not perfect as far as framing perspectives show but I am satisfied. My long standing policy of not telling framers (or any trade for that matter ) how to do their job will preclude providing perfect framing plans. I used the "soffit" trick to build the high upper wall at the living room/dining junction. The truss engineers will have to figure out ow to carry the loads. But another issue arises...and hours of working on it have been fruitless.Somehow I have managed to builds some interior walls with one side sheathed with the exterior wall board and batten material. Any help in getting the walls to display correctly will be much appreciated Have a great evening... Regards Kingston ranch with trusses.plan

You start by having similar plan-view layout of walls like the photo. Depending upon exactly what software application you have, you pre-program the walls where you wish "Gable Roofs" to build over (reference "Roof Types" in your "Build Roof Dialog Box - Roof Styles Tab". Read the Help article there on "Gable Roofs" set up and then try to see if you then get a success. Without actually seeing your plan file, I cannot further suggest what you could look at or study to get a desired result. Help us, help you! DJP

Plenty of how to info in the links above.

Changing the surface material or color directly effects the lighting scheme, especially when using a Standard Render or Physically Based Render camera. DJP

Any reason why using this tool would be auto adjusting the lighting in each room?

I will try again tomorrow...Thanks...

Ceiling planes edit just like manual roof planes. They need to be continuous (connected etc) for a truss to generate correctly above them. Work on getting the ceiling planes in place and then try the trusses. If you continue to have problems, post the plan with your best effort on the ceiling -- It's a pain to try to interpret a written description on where an object like a ceiling plane needs to go.

Eric...thanks for the quick reply...After reading the knowledge base and watching video, I did place the planes first...and then second...kept getting a planes hit one another...break them or use handles to bring them closer...not able to get around the message ...there are no planes on the drawing I sent as I wanted as clean a floor plan etc as possible... This plan exists in a presentable state now...I could get permits and build it...but my desire is to learn as much as possible about using it for design for others purposes. I have progressed to the point that a client commissioned me to design an even more complicated home for him...I was able to put together a very nice package on layout pages...he understands that truss engineering and design was in the arena of the manufacturer...one down and hoping for more work...and I want to produce more complete packages in the future... Regards Rick
