I think I've done this but can't remember how it was done . I want to create an overhead view looking straight down at the house roof so I can add details etc. Thanks

I am trying to change a foundation on a new home , a lot of the foundation is 10" concrete block 6 courses with 2" rigid foam insulation on the inside . I need to change a few walls to 8" concrete block but when I highlight the wall and change all the walls change but I only highlighted that one wall. What do I do differently to change one wall at a time ? Thanks.

Hi folks , Just a question before I mess up . I've done a plan with an 8/12 pitch throughout hip and gable roof styles . My question is … is it possible to change the pitch on the whole roof from 8/12 to 9/12 without going to each section and changing manually , can it be done through preferences . Just asking before I attempt . Thanks.

Figured it out , should be "deck" instead of "porch".

Building a rear porch with roof , I built everything in plan view but when I show Perspective View my posts don't show What am I missing ? .DePooter New.plan.

I am having difficulties doing a lot (plot) plan and can't seem to find any videos or training on how to do this . Any help would be appreciated.

OK I looked under windows search in my documents and found the file that was saved as "FRONT ELEVATION" clicked on it and the floor plan opens not a front elevation. Never happened to me like that before , I hope it isn't a glitch in the program.

I am completing a plan and working to do a FRONT ELEVATION , got it complete and pushed "save as" and saved it into my documents like I think I should and named it front elevation , closed the program to do something else , re-started the program later to bring up the front elevation , pressed open plan file and went to front elevation file opened it and the floor plan popped up but it says front elevation on the saved file . Now I can't find my front elevation plan. What did I do wrong as I worked 4 hours on this and don't want to start over.

Yes I know about the different pitches and I will try to clean them up , The customer wants the ridges to match which of course because of the different widths of the home it changes the pitch. Thanks for your help.

I am trying to wrap a roof return all the way around a garage to break up a tall 2 story wall from a gable wall which worked fine to an eave wall which is not working . It doesn't want to work. AL_DEJONG_REVISED_May_8TH..plan

I've got 2 bedrooms out of 4 that I cannot open the room Specifications to , all other rooms and hallway etc. open fine but these 2 bedrooms will not open when clicked on . Everything looks attached and proper. What could be the problem ?

I am trying to build an attic truss over the garage on a 2 story home , garage is one floor attached with attic trusses coming off the second floor of the home . When I try to do the attic trusses as it says to do in the manual for Home Designer Pro 2020 it tells me I can't have more then 5 floors ????? I have a 2 story home with garage …. What the heck is the problem ?

OK now this this is going to sound dumb and I should know this but I am having issues here. HOW Do you change wall heights ? , I know 9' walls are by default but I want to change to 8' wall heights and can't seem to make it work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am trying to place Dormers in my roof and when I do it shows the framing through the windows in other words the roof opening does not get cut out. What have I done wrong ? Also what is the difference between "auto floating dormers" and "auto dormers". Thanks.

Hello again , I just transferred my license to a different computer , so how do I transfer all my data like plan files , layout files etc. I don't see a way.

Yea that's how I do them also , just looking for a quick way . The way we do it works fine .

Hello again , Just wondering if there is a Roof Pitch Symbol available in Home Designer Pro that I can use or do I make up my own.

Thanks guys got it to work.

Perhaps Attic Trusses ?

Yes I do , on the main house , this would be on the attached garage.

I am trying to build a second floor above an attached garage it doesn't seem to want to let me , it keeps calling it a 3rd. floor . Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is not really a question but just a thought . Before you all get confused and discouraged , just sit back and relax and think how the "program" works and not how you think it should work. … LOL.

Thanks I'll see what that does. But not today my brain is pooched.

If I build a second floor it puts in 8' walls, how do I get around that ? It's been a long day and I can't seem to wrap my head around this.
