  1. For many questions, and this is one of them, attaching your plan file will help someone help you. So many possible settings and ways of doing things, having the file eliminates lots of back and fourth. 14MB size limit. Zip or remove unneeded things like furniture, cars etc. if it's larger. Close the program before zipping and attaching.
  2. And attaching a simple plan file giving someone something to work with is also helpful.
  3. I have no idea what you want to happen. How about starting with a before screen capture, then using CAD lines to draw what you want the walls to be like. It's helpful to note which wall you are referring to, or simply select it prior to a screen capture.
  4. Yes Truss type? Keep in mind that trusses are designed by an engineer and accurate depiction is left up to them.
  5. What have you tried? What's stopping you? Do you get an error message?
  6. Do you have line weights toggled on n Layout?
  7. For many questions, it's helpful to attach the plan file, or one that demonstrates the problem. Close the program before attaching, 14MB file size limit, so zip and/or remove unneeded things (cars, furniture, plants etc) that do not relate to the problem. Usually all that's needed is the plan file, not a Full Backup, unless the question is about materials.
  8. Roofs build over rooms. Make sure Roof Over This Room is checked and Auto Rebuild Roofs is on and you should get a roof.
  9. There isn't. They cannot work from a plan view? I would experiment with overlaying dimensions from plan view onto the 3D in Layout, or in a image editor, or just adding dimensions in another program.
  10. Use Room Divider walls to define the porch. Place post manually.
  11. Reverse Layers on every other wall section.
  12. The plan you attached has no terrain, and it opened in Pro 2022, not 2023. Are you really using 2023? Did you upload the wrong file -- one without a terrain?
  13. Home Designer lacks direct control over the path of moldings attached to walls. You can remove the moldings from a wall, then use a Custom Countertop shaped as needed and with a molding applied to fill in.
  14. Here is what I see. It's often helpful to have a simple plan file to review that demonstrates the problem. Exit from the program before you attach, and there is a 14MB file size limit.
  15. Start a new plan. Draw a roof plane. Open it and look at the Baseline settings on the General panel. Experiment with the settings. You can enter pitch as 3 in 12 instead of degrees.
  16. Doable in Chief Architect Premier with its curved ceiling and roof plane tools. The only native way of doing curved ceilings/roofs in Home Designer is using dormers. Depending on your exact requirements, a program like SketchUp might be used to create a symbol that you would import.
  17. Suggest you reference the manufacturer information for your window choice and ask your supplier about sizing -- what if any advantage is there for choosing "standard" sizing. Windows are generally made to order, and not stocked somewhere in specific sizes, unless you are buying off the shelf from a retailer. Probably a better way to do what I show, but this should give you what you need.
