If you built the soffit on the first floor, try building it on the second floor.
-
@tcutrona Check you display options and make sure your ceiling surface layer is turned on.
-
@DarrellHaunHave you tried Reset Options in Preferences?
-
Since you already have the rooms drawn you will need to divide some of them with room divider. Then set the floor structure of the front rooms.
-
@MississippiMims Is this what you are wanting? I started with footings and foundation walls on everything then changed the back section to basement. I then changed the front section floor structure to concrete. I lowered the one wall so you can see the slab built out over the foundation wall.

Try this, open roof defaults and change default pitch to 4/12 and let it rebuild the roof, then open the walls that I circled and change the pitch for them back to 8/12.

I don't think it can be done in Suite, but it can in HDP. See if you can use this file, I just went by your dimensions and remember not to turn on auto rebuild roofs. 692790820_NewAddition_2024 (1).plan

If I had more information and maybe a sketch of what you’re wanting it to look like, I could see if it can be done. With HDS you are so limited on what you can do with roofs it’s hard to do a custom roof.
-
@AllDoneHM Is this what you're trying to do? If it is you can do it but it's a little complicated. The only thing I can't do is edit the two walls inside.
-
You do already have a 2nd floor, and your roof is marked to ignore the 2nd floor.

@BobWilTry this, draw a straight pony wall somewhere outside of the plan. Use the object eyedropper and select the pony wall and then click on the walls you want to change. I used HDA 2025 trial version. Home Designer Architectural 2025 Trial Version 2024-08-25 19-39-37.mp4

Without knowing how you drew the post and beam, this is a half wall, and I used a shelf to make the beams and post. I don't have 2022 but this is in 2024 trail.

@davidmurray select the back deck railing and open the roof specification and mark it as Dutch Gable.
-
@btushaus If you're not able to get everything to work, attached is a copy of your plan I fixed the roof in Chief, and it can be edited in HDA. Just remember you can't edit the roof and if you turn on auto roofs you will loss what I did. good luck. Sophia4 edit.plan

@btushaus After @Jo_Ann posted I had to try again. I got the front, but the back gets close with a hip on the end. If I change it to a Gable, it makes brings back the strange looking gable wall. Maybe Jo-Ann can figure out the back with the rest of the plan.
