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.

Undo. Tell us what you are trying to accomplish by not showing a wall in plan, but showing it in a camera view.

The auto roof builder easily does this. Selecting the roof planes is easy, positioning them accurately over the house is not.

What are you doing with this house? Are you planning a remodel?
-
Your roof should easily build automatically -- have you tried? Hit undo to get back to where the house is under the roof, then use Edit>Edit Area (All Floors). Marquee around the house and move everything at once.

What type of files are they? What extension should they have? Have you copied them to your hard disk and renamed them?

Use a Custom Backsplash. It may be shaped to follow the roof.

Have you looked in the bonus catalogs available on the website? I believe there is a Home Fitness catalog, but not sure it's available for Home Designer. The 3D Warehouse (google it) will have symbols you are able to import.

If you moved the 1st floor plan after pasting into the new plan, the 2nd floor will not match. A plan is based on a coordinate system. The floors relate to each other based on coordinates within your specific plan. Floors are not connected in any way.

Yep, my bad. I forget, excepting Pro, how limited the software is. The problem will probably be that you are moving from multiple plans into one, so you will likely end up placing one structure on top of another. I looked at my trial of Architectural and it seems the only way to move an entire structure from one place to another easily is with dimensions. Drawing 2 CAD lines marking a corner of where you want to move to, placing a dimension line from the line to a wall, selecting the structure, then changing the dimension to 0. Turn off the display of roof planes to make this easier.

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.

You are welcome.
