Thanks for the update. I'll usually ask for the plan file because people often change things that don't need to be changed and having the plan makes it easier to find them.

Draw what I show above. Place a wall on the 2nd level that is an extension of the middle wall -- the one between the theater and garage. So you now have 2 rooms on the 2nd floor. Go to the room over the theater, and change the Ceiling Below height to match the ceiling in the theater, and change the ceiling height of that Upper Level room to be correct. The software works a bit upside down, in that you control the heights of rooms below, from the rooms above, when there is a room above.

Is this the idea. Theater room at lower left, upper floor over both the theater room and garage?

You need to rebuild the foundation and roof.

3D Warehouse Google it for info.

I'm guessing you are using Chief Architect Premier and not one of the Home Designer titles. If so, go to: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/ You might attach an image or 3 that show the problem, and maybe a simple plan file showing the problem.

Select what you want to move and position with your choice of the available tools.

That's what you do. Only the very latest version of Chief (still in beta) has the ability to pair cameras and backdrops.

I did this with Premier, and believe you would need Architectural to replicate it. I changed a wall definition, and only Architectural and Pro have that feature. I used a user drawn molding for the casing to create the concave curve, so you would also need the ability to apply and size such a molding, but also have someone using Chief Architect supply the molding profile, as Home Designer products are unable to do so.

Try raising the walls.

None of the Chief Architect/Home Designer products are intended to do tile patterns. They all use images of tile that are tiled across a surface. That said, this is a pattern of individual tiles inlayed into a wood floor, so with some work, things can be done. Interiors, I believe is quite limited in its abilities when it comes to creating and manipulating shapes. Also, the articles all have a legend at the top showing which title it applies to, and make sure you are looking at the Home Designer (blue theme) and not the Chief Architect (green theme) site. There is a Chief Interiors product, and a Home Designer Interiors product.

That's typically called a niche. You may have something in the library, or in one of the bonus catalogs available online. Use a Pass Through if Architectural has it (under windows). What are you seeing on the back side? You should have all parts of the window off so it's just a hole in the wall. You should be able to cover the hole with a soffit so from the back it looks like part of the wall.

I'm not clear about what you want done. If someone changes your roof using Pro, or Chief, then you cannot make any additional changes to the roof. Do you know exactly what you want to see?

I'll assume you are auto building the roof. Set the 2nd floor (Attic) ceiling to 6'. Build the roof. Turn off auto rebuild roofs. Raise the ceiling to 8'.

Did you know you can rent Pro for $49 per month? You could download the trial and see how manual roofs work, and to work out your ideas, then rent for a month.

Read up on Lower Wall Type When Split by Butting Roof. You need to change that wall to exterior, then set the lower wall type to interior.

Set the front and side walls to Balloon Through Ceiling Above. This will clean up various things. You will need to go to the attic and delete the walls above the ones you changed.

The chimney should be defined as a room. Try making the ceiling 300".

Pull the roof planes back.

Here is a recent thread where someone is doing something similar. The software does not like mixing foundations so you may need to make some manual changes to get things like you want. Here is a sample plan. One building with a full basement, the other 24" lower on a slab. Review the structure panel for the slab building, note the Floor setting and that Monolithic Slab is checked. mkalavitz example.zip

Here is a simple idea. I do like what Jo Ann has done.

I assumed you rotated the house a bit as well as moving it to one side. If all you did was move it without any rotation, then you can use Point to Point Move to place the roof back over the house. You need to pick the first point where a roof baseline intersects a valley, or another baseline. If your baselines are not long enough, they can be selected and extended like any line. A similar procedure can be used if the roof or structure was rotated, it's just more steps and a few calculations dealing with the angles. Here is a short video (no sound) showing the procedure. The roof I'm working with was auto built, and I show that at the end. Watch it on YouTube and switch to 1080p for best viewing.

Reinstall. Use a Repair option if available.

If you will post the plan, someone will have a look. Close Pro before attaching.
