  1. Are you asking about rafters and purlins? The software won't do the purlins -- go back to ChiefTalk and search there for some options. Draw a roof, build framing, copy a rafter, delete the roof, paste/hold position the rafter.
  2. Please post images directly -- no need to make a PDF of an image. This makes it easier for others as an image shows in the forum.

    Bedroom Walls

    You probably need to create 4 images from a single, then apply the parts to the 4 walls.

    Room above garage

    That's a problem You need a 2nd floor, you cannot create a room on the A (attic) floor. Check walls to make sure none have No Room Definition checked.
  5. You want all doors 36" or less to be double? You can change the default as Rookie said, and all doors will be double. You could create a door configured as you like, then add it to the Library for reuse.

    Saved Views

    If you have a camera showing in plan view, double clicking it should open the view in a new tab. Post the plan file for a better suggestion.

    Room above garage

    Open the room, change the floor height to match.
  8. Sorry -- Custom Backsplash.

    Garage Height

    Aligned where? Top or bottom, or both?

    Garage Height

    Generally, you want the house floor at 0" and things like the garage, porches etc with a negative floor height. Suite seems to default to a 24" stem wall for garages. To change it, after you build the foundation, open the foundation room under the garage and change the stem wall height. This will turn off auto rebuild foundations, so you probably would do this when the foundation is not going to change.
  11. Can't help with the wall breaks, but know of no reports of them not working. Best way to tile a wall is with the Custom Backsplash tool. If you are using a Wall Covering to apply paint to the wall, the Custom Backsplash will not work. You will need to remove it and paint the wall with the Eyedropper.
  12. Move or remove the existing soffits. Place the corner soffit. Put the others back.
  13. You can use slabs and custom countertops too.
  14. Pull the existing soffits back, then push a soffit into the corner -- it will change shape.

  16. David was saying Suite lacks the manual roof tools needed to make this type of roof easy. Your image shows little detail, but see if this helps. You just need to understand the software -- how it works, and use that knowledge to help you create your model.
  17. I don't know about Suite, but select the camera in plan, open object and see if you can set the height.
  18. It's still there, and you can add it to a toolbar. It was removed from the default configuration because so many people did not understand how it worked. Why would you choose it over the Full Camera?

    Raised Ranch

    That's how basements are often finished. Build a wall, insulate and drywall. These houses might be built with the foundation wall to just above grade, then a framed wall would go from there to the start of the 1st floor. In Architectural and Pro, you can use a Pony Wall to do this, in Suite, not so easy.
  20. The pictures are of the exterior. Pictures of the interior -- beams etc would be helpful.

    Raised Ranch

    Rooms control floor and ceilings heights, so create a room -- use a Room Divider wall, where you want the landing. Then give the floor in that room a negative value so it moves down and aligns with the door.

    Raised Ranch

    The software, and general public use floor to be what you stand on, and as the level of the structure -- ground floor, 1st floor etc. Imagine your 1st floor has the same floor (standing on) level everywhere. Now you want to drop a section of that floor down so that it aligns with the front door. The other part of that space will be Open Below to make room for the stairs to the basement.

    Raised Ranch

    Give that a try, or use a landing.

    Raised Ranch

    Probably not. Pictures of the exterior of the house you are modeling will help. Think of the house this way. Dig a 4' deep hole in the ground. The 4' could be anything, it depends on local conditions. Now drop your house into the hole. The front door is about level with the ground, and unless the ground slopes, it's dug out for access to the garage. Again, pictures would help.
