  1. If you place dormers and then break the main roof plane and pull it up to the wall, the dormer disappears. Eric’s video works perfect in Chief Premier but you don’t have the subtraction tool in Home Designer. Does Home Designer have the roof hole tool? 

  2. It can be done manually. It is one story and did it by breaking the front wall and raising it, breaking the roof and making a hole. Then manually drew roof over raised wall and used the number 2 key to join it to the main roof. it just takes knowing how to manipulate the walls and the roof. There may be a better way, but you can't use the subtraction tool in Home Designer program.

    In 2023 Architectural and Pro there's an option to rotate the handles, that option is not available in Suite from what I'm seeing.

    I only have the trial versions of 2023 and the Patrick Bar Pull # 2 wasn't in the catalog. I have it in my version of 2021 so maybe there's a problem with the catalog?

  4. I was able to put the handles on a cabinet in X14 Premier and open it in HD Suite. That would be an option to have someone take your plan and change the handles in HD Pro, HD Architectural or X 14 if that’s the handle you need. Just an idea. 

  5. The wall type definition . controls the settings your needing, see below.

    The foam seal is in the foundation setting, options. It shows as 1/2" in the material list and I don't see a way to change it.

    I hope this helps.

  6. I opened your plan and a soon as you angle the windows the casing shows up where they are joined together. I found a way to make it look like the lower ones with a little work. 

    I removed the casing on both the upper and lower windows, then used the custom backsplash tool to create a casing. It will shows as backsplash in the material list if that matters. 594077951_Gablewindows.thumb.PNG.ad74c48fd85709acf6dfb1e88a33ce10.PNG

  7. To get the center of the sink you might have to use manual dimensions and manually select the dimension line and move the arrow at the wall to the drywall. I tried it and that’s the only way I could get it.

  8. I looked at the plan and the walls on the structure were marked retaining walls. That’s what was causing the walls to shoot down. I’m not sure if the picture I posted is close to what you are looking for. I put in a terrain elevation region and adjusted the flor and slab to get to where it’s at.

    Thank you. I followed your instructions and I was able to pull it down. To be clear, there is no way to set the height of the wall from the floor, you just have to "eyeball it". Is that correct?

    In an elevation view you can derail a line and set it at the height you want then pull the wall up to it.

    The attic wall is the wall I changed 

    I just got to the computer. I selected all the upper windows in an elevation view and copied them. deleted the wall with the windows, grabbed the top of the short wall and pulled up to the ridge. then in plan view went to edit toolbar, paste hold position to put the windows back in the wall. break the top of the wall at the ridge and pull the ends down below the roof.
