Here is a plan using auto built roofs that should get you going. I'd add the porch roof manually after the other parts of the roof are correct using the auto builder. Using your plan, Go to Edit>Reset To Defaults, choose all floors and check all the options. Go To Edit>Delete Objects, choose Roof Planes and Roof Baseline Polylines. Delete the 2nd floor and the Attic level. (Build>Floor>Delete Current Floor) Turn on auto rebuild roofs, then change the settings to make the roof work. Don't check Make Roof Baseline Polyline as it's not needed. Ty's Dream Home (eric).zip

Just take a couple of screen captures and post them.

What is "right"? If it's an existing house -- post images, if not, someone needs an idea of what you want via a drawing or other.

Do a Fill Window (F6). The plan will show really small. Zoom out some more, then marquee the entire bottom of the screen. Delete. You may need to do this a couple of times. Do a Fill Window Building Only, then a Fill Window. They should be about the same. If not repeat the above.

Try using the Full Camera. You almost never want the Floor Camera.

You can move it out of the way using Transform/Replicate. Just move 200' or whatever distance you choose. It's out of the way, but still available if needed and easy to reposition exactly.

Are you asking about Patterns or Textures? Check Help if you are unsure of the differences.

Automatically generated walls like the ones above the porch are always marked No Room Definition. Check the walls bordering the room on the 2nd floor and uncheck the ones marked No Room Def.

There are span tables for dimensioned lumber and I joist. Open web trusses are designed by a truss builder. None of the Home Designer/Chief Architect products interface directly with any structural/engineering software.

If you want the space to match the rest of the building, either make the Office room type match your Garage room type, or tell the program it is a Garage, but change the room label to Office.

This should be obvious Look at the Structure settings for the room with the unwanted floor structure.

Have you toggled off textures?

You may not need a 2nd floor if the tower is just a high ceiling room. If so, raise the ceiling.

Delete and rebuild the trusses.

The answer and other info is in the Help system, and found under the Room Labels topic, which is why I suggested you go there.

Search Help for Room Labels.

Manually. You probably could have done a few walls in the time it took to post this question Turn on Reference Display, drag the walls to the foundation wall below. They should snap into place, if not, use the Align With Wall Above/Below tool.

Turn on the Rooms layer.

Use Edit>Edit Area to select your entire first floor. Cut, then Paste/Hold Position

This auto builds easily. As for your manual roof questions, plenty of videos on the Home Designer and YouTube sites.
