Change your default. The roof message is probably saying that the roof defaults won't change existing roof framing and that note can be checked to not show. Check if your walls are aligned with foundation to eliminate the "dog leg"

Can you share a screenshot... I don't see where to adjust joist depth. I have designed with 16" truss joists, but would like to maybe use 2x8 (mid wall supported)

Ahh, double click does the trick.

I still can't drag the cabinet away from the DW tho... they seem to be linked once in place

Gracias

Thanks solver, I ended up extending the walls around the whole stair/landing area (to create a separate rm), then I was able to lower the floor.

Re - the dishwasher ; the problem is, it won't allow me to select the cabinet anymore after I move the DW into place.

Thanks

David, in the post above, I wrote that I was using HDA 2017, meaning Home Design Architectural 2017.

Believe you me I've searched... " how to lower a section of floor" Et al ...maybe i have to hone my searching skills  

I thought maybe somebody had the answer off the top of their head

Thanks so far Solver.  I'm using HDA 2017

Tab doesn't seem to work, if I click on the dishwasher, then hit "Tab", the whole room goes to grey... hmmm

The Range Hood, I figured out, was at the wrong height from floor in relation to the upper cabinet (I assumed the program would know the heights) ... fixed

The plan was drawn as a whole, so the Landing is on the same level as the rest. Then when I add my stairs & exterior door, they don't line up. (see attached files)

PS, theres actually 2 Landings 

I'm a new user on the Mac (OS Sierra) platform, and enjoying for the most part, the way things work (have had a number of hangs & crash's tho)

Q1 - Is there a way to "click thru" a graphic? e.g. - a dishwasher is added into a cabinet, and they seem to become one... when I click on the cabinet the dishwasher is always selected, subsequently I can't edit the attributes of said cabinet.

Q2 - I'm having trouble inserting a Range Hood, under a wall cabinet... it just sits in front of it.

Q3 - Was wondering if someone knows how to lower the floor of a "Stair Landing" from the rest of the floor plan. Do I somehow have to make the "Landing" a separate room? ... how is that done btw?

Thanks in advance, ... probably more to come

Cheers
