@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.

@btushaus I looked at your plan and I don't think you can get the roof to build in HDA without being able to manually edit the roof planes. Someone else may know a way but it looks like Home Designer Pro would be needed. You could try and get someone with HDP or Chief Premier to fix the roof and send the plan back to you.

I don't know if you found a solution, but I had to open it in Chief Architect Premier and delete the cad line. I saved the plan and marked it to be edited in HD. Not sure why it can't be selected in HD. @RunsWithHammers Dormer4 edit.plan
