  1. I believe that's how Pro 2015 works. No way to change it.
  2. 3D or elevation. Only as a way to eliminate the base trim showing on the exterior. You are creating a room that is within the roof structure, so it's not seen.
  3. Post the plan and I'll look at it in my copy of Pro 2015.
  4. It looks like you have show line weights on. This dialog is from a newer version, so no help, but it shows the idea. Are you seeing this in plan too? There is a Show Line Weights toggle under one of the menus and maybe an icon on a toolbar.
  5. Worked for me. There is something odd about your plan. I copied an interior wall from one of my plans and pasted into yours. All that showed was the framing -- (I had turned all layers on) -- no drywall.
  6. I looked at your file and could see nothing obviously wrong. I'm guessing it has to do with the Autocad import. Once you have traced over the walls, select and copy them (select a wall tool, hold shift and marquee around the plan to select all walls), then open a new plan and Paste/Hold Position. You should see the walls missing in the first plan. You might send this off to support with the Autocad file and a good description of how to reproduce.
  7. Decks default to no roof, so you need to change that. And the program has built in help for different roof styles.
  8. No one can help without more info. Attaching your plan file -- close Home Designer first, will give someone something to see and work with. Attaching pictures or drawings of what you want to model will also help.
  9. What items are you referring to? Where did you download them from?
  10. Group select the deck walls and change them.
  11. For moving a group of walls, try Point-to-Point move.
  12. Pro has a Polygon Shaped Deck tool which is useful for laying out octagons and other similar shapes. Just change the wall type and room type.
  13. Do you have a word processing program like Word you could paste the image into?
  14. I've not looked at the plan, only at the images. try drawing your own ceiling plane to form the roof over the bath.

    Enclosing a Room

    I'm going to guess that one of more walls has No Room Definition checked.
  16. Are you asking about the small areas here? Grab the wall and drag it over to cover. Use a Room Divider wall to form a small room as shown. Turn off moldings in this room so they do not show on the exterior.
  17. Post image files. Post your plan file too -- close Pro first.
  18. Show us your wall materials. And post the plan file if you still need help.
  19. Have you checked the Library and Bonus Catalogs for awnings? I believe Suite has a Balcony room type.

    Gable Wall Framing

    That's it. Make sure it's not open in Home Designer.
  21. Only one page per layout/file.

    Gable Wall Framing

    Post the plan and I'll have a look.
  23. Agree with David on this. I searched Pro for a way to do it, but could not find a setting. Doable in Chief.
  24. I would not trust it. Frustrating, I know. Here is an example. 12'x12'x8' structure -- no ceiling. Program calculates 13 sheets instead of 12. I've not seen a drywall crew hang 4x8 boards (standups), instead they use 12' boards horizontally. Maybe this could be changed, but it should be the default, or a simple setting. Use a Pony Wall, not a soffit. Manual roofs. You have complete control. As a contractor, I would never go by a materials list provided by a customer. ---- Adding an occasional blank line sure helps with readability
