Edit>Edit Area Select All Floors. Marquee around what you want to copy. Copy then paste into your new plan.

You could make an open cabinet and should be able to slide the refrigerator into it. Use a soffit, shape it to form a countertop and place it over the refrigerator. Use a base cabinet that is 1-1/2" tall so only the countertop remains. The wine racks in the library insert into a cabinet, or you can place one by itself (shown on left cabinet), but you will need add a box around it. There are wine rack cabinets in the library too. You could use one of these, remove the countertop (or change the countertop), and toe kick, then place it on top of another cabinet/countertop (shown on right).

To automatically align, the walls need to be defined the same, not just be the same thickness. Alignment is done to the main layer outside, so make the parapet wall match the lower wall and it should work. For many questions like this, posting a simple plan demonstrating the problem would be helpful. Here just copying 2 walls and placing them into a second plan would be ideal.

That's because it is an object and not a window or door. You should be able to move it freely by holding the Control key, and Transform/Replicate and Point to Point move are also sometimes useful. And thanks for the signature.

Search the site for nana. You will find info on a door symbol that may be useful.

To answer your question, yes.

You are welcome.

Notice what's not checked?

Are you looking at the 2nd layer of your floor framing?

Check your defaults, then delete and rebuild the foundation.

Post your plan file and I'll have a look. Close Pro before doing so.

The ideal way is to set the defaults first, then draw. Setting the defaults afterwards requires that you force a rebuild of 1st floor, floor framing by rebuilding the foundation. You should check, and leave checked, Automatically Rebuild Foundation. If you have a 2nd floor already built and wish to change, change the structure here and check rebuild.

And you do need to delete and redraw the Terrain as Jo Ann outlined above.

These are the numbers I used for the guest house. Change it from a Garage to a Living Room. Then use these numbers. Start at the top and work down.

You should be able to open yours and mine and copy the info from one to the other. The structure info is the most important. Are you able to do the terrain?

Did you see I posted a plan -- comment #8.

I'd send this one to support..

This should get you started. Main House and Guest House without elevation (eric).zip

Here is a simple plan. JamesSym 1.zip

The program has Undo, so when you change something that results in an unwanted action, just undo. Everyone wants to describe what went wrong, instead of saying what is correct, so I'll guess the garage is supposed to be lower. If so, open the garage room and change the Floor setting to something less than 0". And it's a good idea to check Automatically Rebuild Foundation in the Build Foundation dialog, and leave it checked, so you will be able to see problems as they arise.

It's really a room, not a landing. The program has landings but they are used differently. Open the landing room and change the floor field to 0". Here is the file I modified -- forgot to attach it yesterday. House_renovation_plans (eric).zip

Did you drop the landing down? I did not change the stairs, just copied them and they lined up.

Just an idea.

Like this? I made the bedroom wall invisible just to show the stairs. Move the stairs you have to the garage -- cut, go to level 0, paste hold position. (stairs are drawn from the lower level up) make the room where the landing is 0" floor, and move the wall shown in green. draw in the short section of stairs.

You would need Pro to do a curved roof, but you may get the basic shape by adding a wall (room divider) to the right of the door creating a small room. Lower the ceiling in that room and see how the roof changes. And thanks for filling out your signature!
