    Widow's Walk

    What's not working? I've done it in Pro and Chief Premier.

    Widow's Walk

    Are you trying to change them like these?
  3. I'm sure you are manually drawing interior walls, moving them, maybe deleting them. Manually placing cabinets, windows, doors etc. Exterior walls are no different. They are just objects to the program.
  4. Delete the walls that you don't want. Fill in any missing ones manually.

    Cove Ceiling

    @DavidJPotter David -- from the OP

    Cove Ceiling

    Try this. Draw a one room structure. Set opposite walls to full gable and build the roof then uncheck Auto Rebuild. Open the room and raise the ceiling.
  7. Suggest sending the file to Chief. Something is clearly messed up.
  8. Copy the file, delete the fluff -- cars, furniture etc. Zip the file.
  9. Those layers are locked. Unlock them via Layer Display Options and you should be able to select and delete.
  10. I am having issues understanding what you are wanting to do Adding images, drawings etc is helpful. As is attaching the plan file. What problems are you having?
  11. A picture of the platform and stairs would help. I'd use a landing as your stairs will attach to it. Once correct, cover the landing with a soffit changing the material to concrete.
  12. I assume then you understand how these settings work and that they are set correctly for what you want to do?
  13. You can often solve problems like this via the built in Help system. Open it and search for "material eyedropper" (the name of the tool you are using). You can change the color via the Materials tab when you open a cabinet too.

    Pony Wall

    Roofs build over rooms. Room height (and surround wall height) is set by adjusting the ceiling height of that room. Try lowering the ceiling in the master with auto rebuild roofs on and see what happens. If that is not working, post back and I'll have a look at the plan.
  17. I'd start by running the installation again. There will probably be a Repair option which I would choose. If that does not fix things, contact Home Designer support directly.

    Widow's Walk

    My remark about the shallow pool -- You are creating a shallow pool on top of the house. Where will the water go? You will also have an access from below at the bottom of the pool. Attach the plan file -- close Pro first.

    Roof Anomaly

    You could not open them. This auto built so you can do it.

    Roof Anomaly

    Exactly Manual roofs using Chief Premier. Not sure how you could get Architectural to do it.
