Noticed your upper and lower walls are not aligned. Try drawing from the 2nd floor down. Hold the right mouse button as you drag the stairs out. Copy the landing to the 2nd floor. Draw stairs down from the deck to the landing, then from the landing to the ground. Tip: Draw a CAD line where the lower stair section hits the ground. Copy/Paste Hold Position on the 2nd floor. The lower stair section will snap to this. Or, do everything in reverse, drawing up from the bottom to the landing, then up from the landing to a CAD line representing the deck edge. Stairs just take practice. I did a bunch of plans with just stairs when first learning the program.

Take a look at this thread. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/14826-stair-layout/ Reply back if it does not help.

Go to ChiefTalk please. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/

One of the big advantages of Pro is its manual roof tools. Set the Raise Off Plate back to 0. Build the roof. Select the 2nd floor roof planes and using Transform/Replicate, raise them 8". Another way to do this is to add a short 3rd floor.

Remember that each view uses its own unique set of layers. You will want to set your Layer Display Options for your plan view, and your camera views.
-
When something is not displaying, always check Layer Display Options. If you used a Framing member for a post, they don't show by default in camera views -- except for Framing Overview.

Run a Plan Check. That should bring it back.

It works exactly like other rooms, by adjusting the ceiling height. There is no magic when you Build Foundation. You could create a blank level 0 and draw in your own walls, just like you drew in the walls on level 1.
-
Build your foundation with settings for one or the other. You will need to manually edit the foundation. Draw in a wall separating the two areas. Adjust the settings of the foundation rooms to vary the wall height, remove the slab in the crawlspace etc.
-
If your terrain will remain flat, use a slab instead of a sidewalk for that section.

Looks like a bug to me. Suggesting reporting to support.

You don't. I can do it with Chief, but not an option in Pro. The other way is to put the garage on the 2nd floor and not have a first floor under it. You will (maybe) need to fiddle with the structure settings for things like a curb in the garage if it's needed.
-
Thinking of the garage. It would not have a second floor above it, and you would raise the ceiling height for it to whatever it needs to be.
-
What did it do? I'd use a 1-1/2" high floor with walls and structure changed to show only what is needed. This will elevate the 2nd floor the correct amount, and keep the overall structure dimensions correct. In any case, you will need to create a detail like your image.
-
There are 2 of the same table, and 3 of the same chair in your plan. No vases or flowers.
-
Have you tried items from the core library -- not the Wayfair catalog? You can attach the plan file -- make sure it's not open in Pro. Click choose files when you are replying. Images are the same.
-
I just started a new plan, placed several vases on the floor. Took a dollhouse view and set view direction to top view. Vases show up. What exactly are you doing? Posting images is usually helpful too.
-
You will need to post images and or the plan so others may understand.
-
Watch the manual roof videos on YouTube. Remember, roof planes are always drawn up slope. Draw a rectangular structure. Draw a roof plane. Look at it in a camera view and see what it looks like.
-
I believe you are talking about Temporary Dimensions. There is a toggle button on the right side. Mouse over them.
-
I used the Material Eyedropper to select one brick and paint the other brick, which changed to match. Don't know how, but the rough looking brick is using a Bump Map and the other is not. From your screen captures, Pro does not let you set Bump Maps for a material.
-
You are showing different types of movement. The first is moving the position of a wall, the second is changing the length.
-
Post the plan, or just a simple one with one wall showing the difference.

Did you start this plan in an earlier or different version of Home Designer? One texture is using a Bump, or Normal map. The other is not. See the Adjust Material Definition tool.
