Please post images directly as you did in your post above. Rebuilding your roof is the only option in Suite.

What happens when you rebuild the roof?

Suite lacks, or is very limited in its ability to do this.

Suggest making a copy of the Profile.plan file first. Right click on the Profile.plan file, select properties. Uncheck Read Only. You can set it back to Read Only after making changes and saving.

Open your template plan, create a new wall type, save and close the template. Create a new plan using the modified template. Check and the new wall will show up in the wall types dialog.

Just tested in Pro 2016. Add to Library does not work -- I forget how limited Home Designer is. (Edited post above to correct) Add to template does work, and is the method I used with Home Designer Pro.

You can save wall definitions in two ways. 1) Add them to a Template Plan. The program uses the Profile.plan file as the default template. Open it, define your walls, then save and close it. They will be there when you start a new plan from this template.

I left out a step to fix the wall. Begin by going to the attic level and use the Delete Current Floor command.

When you select a wall, look in the Edit Toolbar for the Align With Wall Above and Align With Wall Below tools. They will align walls automatically, by default at the main layer outside.

Don't know what caused it, but it's easy to fix. Delete your roof planes. Drag the front 2nd floor wall around the left side replacing the wall with the problem. Set that wall to Full Gable. Rebuild the roof.

Have you turned Temporary Dimensions off? Look under the View menu.

Have you reviewed the info available on the Home Designer web site, searched the forum and checked the videos on YouTube? If you don't need something exact, you might be able to trace the drawing after importing the PDF.

Here is your wall. You changed its structure. You moved the siding into the main layer, and then in Wall Settings, told the program to go to the exterior of layer 1, which is part of the main layer. You have told the program there is nothing -- siding, drywall, sheathing etc outside the main layer, so there is nothing to cover the gap. The program uses this info to align walls vertically too. You should understand the side effects of changes.

Here is my suggestion. Change the wall definition to remove unwanted fills and lines. This preserves alignments and only changes how the walls display in plan. It's not perfect -- if you are displaying grids (snap or reference) you will see the white lines.

Yes You might be able to do this via Layer Display Options.

I don't understand. What material? What's wrong with the out of the box wall? When you change layers, you frequently need to change some of the things circled. (image from Chief, not HD) I believe F5 will rebuild 3D, or select Rebuild 3D from the 3D menu.

You have changed your wall definition. Look at the Siding-4 wall to compare. What are you trying to accomplish by changing the wall?

Did you upload a different plan? This is what I see.

Are you asking about the gap between the foundation and first floors where there would normally be your first floor, floor framing?

Thanks for posting your plan. Images are also helpful. Without them, someone must download the plan, open it and search for this issue. There are 3 types of prospective overview cameras too.

A gable refers to a wall, or where a wall might be. Your door, for example, has a gable wall above it. What you have is generally referred to a cross gable roof. What I think you are trying to describe is how you want the RIDGE line to run. In the image, I've marked your two ridge lines in red and green. You want the red ridge higher than the green? Tip: Use a screen capture tool to capture your images instead of a camera.

You can't figure what out? How are you building this roof -- auto or manual? What specifically is the problem -- what needs to change to make the roof correct? It's always good to attach your plan file as it can answer many questions. Have you reviewed the help resources I linked in your previous thread? Read the Tutorial and Reference Manual found under help? It's a bit confusing when someone references Chief Architect, as it's also the name of their flagship software. We often have people using Chief post here when they should be posting on ChiefTalk.

Are you a Pro 2018 user?

Not for this roof. Were you able to build it? If it were me, I'd keep the new roof aligned with the main roof. You will end up with a narrow space between the 2 that's not accessible with the lowered porch roof.
