This is in Architectural 2024 trial so I couldn't send the plan file back to you and you can get there with some work. Like you said above there will be a lot of water coming down the side wall, I made that section a 4/12 pitch kind of like a cricket. The main gable roof is on the second floor and the four small gables front and back are on the first floor. The section to the right I lowered to get the look you showed. Anyway, there's my 2 cents!!!

This is Suite 2023. Try using a cylinder from the core catalog, shapes, cylinders. There may be another way but that's all I could find.

This is HDP, I don't know what version you are using. You can change the dimension defaults from wall layers to surface and also change from the primary side to the secondary side of the walls. The wall definitions you can dimension to the plasterboard layer.

Problem placing apron-front sink in custom countertop
Garybills replied to OldUncleMikey's topic in Q&A
Hey Mike, when I put the sink in the cabinet it works right, I made a custom countertop and I did like yours. Yours looks like a custom countertop so I put 3 cabinets together, left the countertops on them and then added the custom top behind them. That worked best because trying to cut the custom top around the sink doesn’t look as good. Hope that make sense and helps. -

If you made a custom countertop you will have to select it, break it and shape it around the sink. -

@OldUncleMikeyHey Mike, what version are you using? I just tried it in HDP 2024, and it cut the countertop out. -
@ImageAbilityI don't think you can do it automatically, but you can use the Draw Stairs and make two angled landings between them. You can break and edit the landings to what you need.

Could you draw your existing terrain and create the elevations, trace over them in elevation view with cad lines and set a color. Then edit the terrain to the proposed ground level.

It took a little trial and error, I knew it had something to do with that end wall so I broke it and kept moving it until the 4” worked. Splitting the screen and watch it in 3D helped to see what was going on. I had the same problem on a project and never spent any time trying to figure it out so I changed it manually. You would think it would work by just breaking the wall but it doesn’t.

@BeginnerMorle In HDP 2021 it is in the framing tab, rough opening, top.

@tracer123 I had the same issue using Chief Architect Premier, for some reason it changes part of the main roof to a 12 also. I drew my version of your plan and got the same results. To fix this I had to draw two cad lines see attached pictures and break the end gable on those lines which are 4" apart. change the 4" section back to a hip roof and that should fix it.

@D-RamaI've tried to figure out a way to get it to work, but I can't. Maybe someone else can, but I used a 1/16" thick slab and changed the material to match the tile and drug it under the door to cover the wood.

Attic Created as second floor unable to create stairs
Garybills replied to thebeedubya's topic in Q&A
They will need to be connected all the way around and then uncheck no room definition in the wall specification. I was curious so I used invisible walls and connected them, then unchecked no room definition on all the attic walls. It's not perfect but gets you a floor up there.
