  1. That roof will easily auto build. Did you not understand about breaking the wall? This is how it should look.
  2. Please use a screen capture tool or the capture tool built in to Pro -- using a camera results in a poor image. Do you have a 2nd floor room over the porch? If so, delete it. Post your plan file (close Pro first) for the best suggestions.
  3. Break the left side wall 1' back from the front creating 2 wall segments. Make the 1' wall a hip wall, and the longer part a gable wall.
  4. You can also paint the wall with drywall. It's usually good to use a Custom Backsplash where you want tile too.
  5. I'm not Chief Sales, but why not download and review the 2019 trial for yourself. And you might say what title (Suite, Pro etc) you are using.
  6. You will need to be specific -- I just drew in this wall and it extends to the ceiling. Can you identify a wall in your plan that is not doing this?
  7. Posting your .plan file (close Home Designer first) and pictures will help others help you.
  8. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=VwlmXLfsA-S70PEP55afqA8&q=seamless+hexagon+tile+texture&oq=seamless+hexagon+tile+texture&gs_l=img.12..0.45337.48031..51084...0.0..0.333.1935.3j3-5......1....1..gws-wiz-img.......0i7i30j0i8i7i30.POXfCrAp3dw
  9. Then you need to create a seamless texture from it in an external program. Plenty of info via a google search.
  10. Tell us what tile you are using. Specific catalog and name.
  11. Place the transom on an attic wall, then move it down -- set to a negative height. You may need to draw in the attic wall manually.

    Gabled end color

    I noticed your roof overhangs are 1/4". The program likes them larger, like 2 or 3 inches. Try that to see if the problem goes away, then reduce them.

    Did you post the correct file?
  14. have you checked the bonus catalogs? Or google 3d Warehouse.
  15. Check the 3D Warehouse (Google it) before creating something yourself.
  16. You will need to raise the gable roof way up to get the shed roof under it and allow the auto roof builder to work. Go here for info on doing the shed roof.
  17. Thank you. They are neat tool -- indispensable for modeling things and creating symbols, and one of the reasons I upgraded to Chief. With Home Designer you just need to be creative with the available tools, and understand the capabilities of the tools at hand. Slabs, soffits, custom countertops and custom backsplashes can all be used for purposes other than what their name implies.
  18. Windows and doors have a lintel that changes the top piece of trim, and may do what you want.
  19. Did you download the installation files from the internet originally, or did you only purchase a disc? Is there nothing in your digital locker? Do you have the key you will need to enter if you do install?
  20. Uninstall then install. Not sure what you are asking.
