I'm on Home Designer Architectural 2015.
Thanks all for the comments.
Seems like there should be an easy way to address this problem. I will have to prepare a demo plan so the suggestions above should help.
One of the issues I found with this question is the roof pitch. The existing house a lower pitch than I'll need for the addition, but when I change the pitch for the addition the existing house pitch changes.
Just started using the software, so I'll eventually figure it out.
