  1. Good Day -NewBee here Seeking good practices or direction to video that helps with this build. I wish to use ICF to form an exterior three walls with staircase up to graded landscape from my basement. no over head roof/cover I have drawing a simple two store house with full basement (8" concrete conventional formed walls) and landscaped back yard so top 3ft of foundation wall is exposed. Then I went back to add on a 3 sided ICF foundation extension rectangle with poured floor. Issues: the auto roof covered the new foundation I deleted roof and the foundation extended to the soffit width of main floor roof.? Can't seem to delete this totally? My landscape grass shows inside of new foundation area? my three walls with footing are only 48" tall. How do i get to "Floor defaults" or "Room" dimension widow to set all three walls to equal or lower than house footing?
  2. Hello I tried this on the https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com And was quickly told to post here. So perhaps Home talk are Home Designer Professional users? I need to clarify my program because I must be confused by the names. About Home Designer "Chief Architect Software, Home Designer . Professional. - Home Designer Pro 2019" I am trying to connect with a user with good knowledge looking to make a few extra bucks by doing some web portal one on one tutoring. Sure we all want to pay or get paid $70-150 hour but my budget is more like $20h which is $20 more than I am making now.
  3. What is the best practice in order to explain to home owner and contractor Changes in building from Old to New. Example the second floor of standard house. We wish to move non-structural walls expanding a hallway and dividing a bed room into a study and small laundry room. Is there a way of greying out/ ghosting original walls showing new layout to show the benefits in size and flow? This will help with visual types and keeping track of changes being made. I am guess this would be done with a layering detail?
