Try using the 3 key. It's the shortcut to break for everything but roof planes.

Did you go through the steps in #11? When you reopen the plan, the saved camera will be there, unless it's layer is off.

Draw a new plan. Take a cross section. Make some mods, save camera. Save the plan. Close and reopen. Double click the saved camera and see what is saved.

It just saves the camera -- does not do anything visually. In plan view, turn on wall framing. Make sure the camera is taking in the wall framing and is not between studs.

Everything shows in a framing overview? Are you using a Back Clipped cross section?

Each view has its own layer set. Framing is not on by default in the Cross Section layer set, so you need to turn it on. I believe you have an All On layer set. It's a quick way to see all layers on in whatever view you are in.

Were you able to build the model using my instructions? If I remember correctly, your house is a dutch colonial. Have you considered using a gambrel roof on the shop building? Are you incorporating the existing garage, or will this be a standalone structure? Quick idea.

Draw the first floor and place a wall dividing the 2 sections. Change the ceiling heights. Build a 2nd floor. Make sure to select Step floor/ceiling. Accept the defaults on the next dialog. You will have 2 rooms, just like on the first floor. Lower the ceilings in them by changing the absolute ceiling height to 14'. You may need to change the floor structure on the 2nd floor if you are spanning the 28'.

Here is an idea. I've drawn a deck on the basement level. This gets rid of the footings. It only needs to be directly under the post, so not as big as I have shown. You could use a slab or soffit to extend the post, and draw in your own footing -- see the shapes in the library if you don't have the footing tool. Have you considered something like this? I did this quickly and would reverse the flights on each stair, I think.

Guessing Architectural does not have these options.

Often posting an image of what you are seeing helps. What top plates are you missing?

I've used a grid made from slabs, or soffits, or custom countertops. Draw one tile, and using Transform/Replicate, create your grid. Block together to make moving easy. I have done octagon and other shapes too.

If you are asking about the framing I've colored in red, it appears to be an artifact. The program often builds attic walls as the model is being developed, but does not remove them when not needed. I frequently use Delete Current Floor at the attic level to clean these up. The attic walls that are needed will rebuild automatically.

To answer your question, the software has no concept of locations or corners that may be exported.

I don't understand what type of location you are looking for. It's common to transfer a plot plan into the software and position the house on it. As for field layout, dimensions from the plan. Your house is nearly rectangular so a quick layout on site should be easy.

Thanks! Post back with questions.

Draw the flat roof, setting the overhangs on each side. Make sure the pitch is correct. Draw a diagonal line from one corner to the other. Open the line and copy the angle. Open the Defaults, and under Plan, add this angle -- one negative and one positive value. Take one corner of the roof and form it into a triangle. Draw the tippy up roof starting along the edge of the flat roof and going towards the outside of the house. Use the handles to reshape it into a triangle, snapping the corners to the corners of the flat roof. Set the pitch. Join the two roof planes in the middle. Check in a 3D view.

Close Pro. Then attach the plan file like you did the other attachments. Are you comfortable with the manual roof tools? This is a fairly simple roof to draw manually, and I'm not sure how to do it easily with the automatic roof builder.

I don't understand how the elevations relate to the roof plan, but take a look at this plan and see what you think. rt 1.plan

Do you have a Roof Plan from your designer you could post?

The crown is located just below the ceiling. Check your ceiling height. It's at 113+ instead of the 80 something elsewhere.
