    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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
