As a moderator can you direct me to instructions on how to use this forum? I have a question but I am clueless how to post it in this forum. Hopefully you will not be upset asking it now:

I have a new completed house design with a 2nd floor over one section. I want to add to that 2nd floor to an adjoining area with a present (lower) roof line at 90 deg. I raised the roof up and in 2nd fl view added the new walls but it will not recognize the 2nd floor in this area. The options in the Build New Floor do not represent what I need. How do I fix this?

Good Morning,

How can I create a new floor 0 without starting over, since I have done significant design work and dont want to start over.  Basically i need to create a walkout basement and from what I am reading in the forums is that I need to make my basement into floor 1 for this to work.  Can you assist or direct me to find more about this?

Hello Derek,

I need some help with this program I just got a few days ago.

I was wondering if you could help me with quick guidance on how to use the measuring tape. I did watch through the video guild program to see if it does provide detail on how to modify the adjustment. witch, I can't find the video that gives me the detail. the problem I'm having is. when a vertical wall corners with a horizontal. Like an L and when the window is on either side. how do I measure out without interfere the window but move the wall measurement? 

I'm learning this product and am a bit slow, especially when it comes to roofs, etc.

This is a two story house we are working on building, currently it is over the 3000 sqft
max living space (building cost constraints).  The bottom floor is 10' and second is meant to
be 8'.  The roofs are 12:12.  Looking to add a shed roof  at the level of the 2nd floor joists to
go over the porch.  It would be in the range of 3 or 4:12 pitch.

Any hints on how I create a shed roof to go over the front porch and attach to the building?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Also I realized I should attempt to put this in a proper part of the Home Talk for Hints and Tips but didn't see how to do that.
Sorry....

Thanks for the reply but when you refer to room structure dbx what are you referring to? And where do we find it? And is this in HD architectural 2018?

Regards

Dukeford
