The attic wall is the wall I changed 

I downloaded your plan and unchecked attic wall on that wall, and it reframed it correctly.

In a 3d view, Select the Adjust Material definition (rainbow) tool, with that tool click on the stone and change the color of the Pattern to the color you want the stone to be and then in the texture tab select blend with texture. 

I used Auto roofs to start then locked the pitch on the left roof and adjusted the baseline height to the desired height. Next, I did the same thing to the right roof and then selected the ridge of the right roof and hit 2 on the keyboard and selected the left ridge to reconnect the ridges.

I don’t have a solution for you but I did try importing a dwg in my Home Designer Pro 2021 and it worked ok. 

Like David said in the cabinet specification, I had to make two separate cabinets to get the right side open, then block them together.

It looks like the he e roof planes are cutting into the gable walls. Trying pulling them back away from the wall. 

I drew a simple rectangle building and with built foundation with stem walls, went to build foundation and rebuilt foundation and it changed it to pier and beam. Have you tried that?

It was separate until 2023, not sure if there is any other setting that will keep the interior dimensions on ant exterior off.

It is possible with custom wall types and custom Backsplashes but not easy.

There is an option that might work, if you send you plan file to someone with a version like Home Designer Pro, they can draw in your cathedral ceilings and send back to you. You won't be able to modify them but at least they would show in plan and 3D.

In Suite, can you draw another roof plane where I drew the ceiling plane? If you can just remove the overhang and It will give the same look.

I downloaded the trail version of Suite, and it only draws roof automatically. Sorry

In Suite, can you draw another roof plane where I drew the ceiling plane? If you can just remove the overhang and It will give the same look.

I have Home Designer Pro 2020 and there is a draw ceiling plane in the roof dropdown menu, use that to draw a ceiling plane on the side with no ceiling and drag it to the center of the r        to connect to the roof plane.

Make a new layer in the Wall Type Definition and it will show in material list. 

Try this, I did it in Home Designer Pro 2023 trail version.

1. SET POST ALL AROUND
2. MAKE A COPY OF EXTERIOR WALL TYPE, CAHNGE FRAMING FROM LUMBER TO AIR GAP AND CHANGE FILL COLOR IF YOU WANT.
3. SELECT WALL AND BREAK ON EACH SIDE OF POST
4. SELECT SMALL WALL AT EACH POST LOCATION AND CHANGE TO NEW WALL TYPE.
5. IF AUTO FRAMING IS ON IT SHOULD FRAME CORRECTLY.
6. THE ONLY LOCATION THAT THIS WONT WORK IS THE CORNERS.
 

I did this on a porch but the post were 12” wide poly solids and I broke the walls on each side of the post and made the 12 inch sections invisible. 

I did one in Home Designer Pro making a double wall, putting a window in the outer wall and a larger pass through in the inner. The angled sides I used cad box converted to a slab and the hardest was the top and bottom angles I used a backsplash. Someone else may have an easier and better way but this gets you there. 

Here is a really quick video on how to draw your roof using auto roof until I drew the room divider across the porch then it's all manual. Using the number 3 key to break and number 2 key to connect the roof planes.  video1803886033.zipI had to zip the file to get it below 14 MB. 

I used the 2nd floor with invisible walls over the 5 bays and open below over the garage area.

I’d be glad to help you out. PM sent

I believe you’re talking about the small gable above door not having the return all the way across. I’ve had that happen before and I’m trying to remember what I did to correct it. I’m nat at computer for a few hours but will check it out unless David has had this problem before.

Ah that worked, thanks!  Is this the same approach for other objects where I may want to assign a material to just one side?

 

Also, and idea why my pony wall top is unfinished rough framing?

 

You can use a counter top to cover that framing.
