Looks like you would need Pro to have additional options.

Start by deleting framing (Edit>Delete Objects). Specifically roof framing, but you probably don't need any framing built as you build the model, so I would delete all framing, which turns off auto rebuild. Check the Knowledge Base linked above for an article on attic trusses. You left out something important and the article will tell you what. After your trusses are in place, build your roof framing if desired.

1) Delete the foundation 2) Open the garage and set the floor to -36. Uncheck Monolithic Slab. 3) Build the foundation, setting Garage Floor to Stemwall Top to 14.125.

It's best to narrow your search here.

That catalog is only available for the Chief Architect products, not for Home Designer.

You might check to make sure Pro is using the correct video hardware.

Will a post (framing), or a soffit, or slab or custom countertop, placed as required and given the correct height not work?

Is Automatic Framing on? If building framing does not fix the problem, post your plan file.

I believe what we might call a purlin, is what the OP is referring to as a batten. And no, the software does not do them automatically. It's been requested, as this is a common construction detail on buildings with metal roofing. What David is referring to, I believe, are battens installed as part of a tile roof. Tile roofs are very common in the Southwest and Western US. Here is a random image of the Phoenix, Arizona area. I would bet every roof visible is tile.

Select the wall, in plan or camera view and drag it to fill the gap.

Don't know why the walls act as they do. Here is a tip for adding the walls in the attic. On first floor, select the 4 walls forming the fireplace. Go to attic and Paste/Hold Position.

Go to attic, draw in walls.

Try a search for remove base.

Questions go in Q&A, Mike, and this is a fairly common question -- did you search?

I believe the picture shows small windows stacked over larger ones. I'm not able to see any divided light windows in the picture.

I don't think you can create your roof with Home Designer or Chief Architect. I will keep thinking about it.

It's not clear from your description, or the image, what you want to do. It looks like the right side has a steeper pitch than the left.

Have you tried your Digital Locker?

This will happen if there is an object far from the structure. In Plan View, do a Control-A to select everything. That usually will show you where the object is.

You most likely have a wall there on the attic level. The software does not always delete the attic walls itself after you set Balloon Through on the wall below. Go to the Attic level and delete it. Tip: The software automatically builds attic walls, but does not delete them when no longer needed. While working on a project where walls are moving around, the attic level can fill up with these walls. While on the Attic level, you can Delete Current Floor, and the program will automatically rebuild only what it needs.

The break lines take seconds to do, not sure what the video shows. Draw a Rectangular Polyline and shape one edge as required. This is used to mask any lines you do not want to see. Trace over the break shape on the polyline with a line to form the break line. Select the Rectangular Polyline and change its border color to white. Use the same idea to form the dirt, only change the fill as required. As for alignment tools, Home Designer does not have any. You will often need to draw CAD lines and use dimensions or a tool like Point to Point Move, or manually drag the object, snapping it to something.

Once I turned on all layers, i was able to turn off the layers I did not want. I my case I turned off everything except Walls, Normal and Base Cabinets and they were still visible. I then turned on Soffits and they were visible too. I did this in the Pro 2019 trial. It worked as expected in Chief Premier. Suggest you report to support.

Please explain what you are wanting to do. What is "cut off the rest of the sections"? Again, what are you wanting to do? The center tool works with multiple objects. What do you want to "justify", and how?

You may have found a bug. Try this. Switch to the Wall Elevation. In Layer Display Options, Select All, then set all to display. You should see the wall and everything else. If not, use the Fill Screen tool. Now in Layer Display Options, select all, then deselect Base Cabinets and Walls, Normal. Set everything to not display. All that should be checked to display is Walls, Normal and Base Cabinets. You should see the wall and the base cabinet. Set Soffits to display and they should show. Set Fixtures, Interior to show and you should see the toilet.
