Check the level you are on -- it must be the same as the terrain. Plants, for example, will work from any level, but the other things will not.

None of the Home Designer products have this ability.

Are you aware this is HomeTalk, the forum for Home Designer, not Chief Architect?

Are you the same rockyshepheard that has been posting on ChiefTalk?

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. You can attach moldings to soffits and custom countertops. Sometimes one of these objects is helpful when molding attached to a cabinet does not work.

I was suggesting the new design, not the as built. What are you planning for the house under the new roof?

???

Run a Plan Check. Tools>Checks>Plan Check (may be different in Suite). You can ignore any/all warnings.

After you build the roof with Ignore Top Floor, does it look correct? If so, then move the roof planes up.

My edit toolbar has been moved -- yours is probably still at the bottom left. If you right click the center selection handle, you get the same items that are in the edit toolbar.

There are 2 ways around this. 1) Turn off the display of roof planes. (Layer Display Options). 2) Turn off Auto Rebuild Roofs, select all the roof planes and click the Display On Floor Above icon in the Edit Toolbar.

It's not clear just what you want to do, but I'll take a guess. Check Ignore Top Floor in the build roof dialog.

You can only show total area per floor. Is your Living Area Label showing? A search within the Help system should tell you about it.

You should call and talk to someone at Chief Architect, send them an email, or post your question in Sales Related Questions.

Roofs build over rooms, so make the floor plan a rectangle, build the roof, turn off auto rebuild roofs. Not understanding this. Your info shows a 2 floor structure, not a split level. In any case, you may need to change ceiling heights etc temporally to get the roof built.

The sill is part of the foundation.

It looks like you have manually placed a beam within the floor structure, and I'm guessing that's what you are looking at. The Tape Measure tool is often not the best tool to use when you want a precise measurement. See my image above showing actual measurements. The program is building the floor structure just as you instructed, using I-joist and using the beam you drew in. Do a Perspective Framing Overview to see. You need to tell the program to build the floor with the 4x8 lumber joist and you will get this.

It's usually best to use a section view to check these things. Looks OK to me here.

Look at the Layer Display Settings

Have you reviewed your dimension default settings?

Check your camera defaults and layer settings.

The ability to change icon size is a new feature and not available in older versions.

You will need to use a Custom Backsplash to create the arched piece, then position it on the cabinet. Draw the backsplash against a wall, change its materials to match the cabinet, size and shape, then move to the face of the cabinet. You may be able to block it with the cabinet so they remain as one if the cabinet is moved.

Are you wanting something like this?
