I checked my copy of Suite and it works like Chief Premier as shown in the image. Could you post a screen capture showing what you are seeing? I used exterior walls to enclose a room, then drew in 2 interior walls in a corner forming a 2nd room.

Things that should be so simple -- are not, and I don't think in metric. Delete your foundation. Make every room, Monolithic Slab. Set the floor height and the ceiling height for each room, starting at the top. Build the foundation -- and turn on Auto Rebuild Foundation. For the garage, make changes at the foundation level, so you are moving the stemwall and floor above up or down. The garage is a pain because I don't really understand all the settings. Garage from the foundation.

Are you rebuilding the foundation?

?

Is this what you want?

Suggest you get the rest of the roof correct with the auto tools, then add the gable.

Here is something to work on. Every one of these triangles is a wall that's off the angular grid. They are drawn crooked -- not at 0 or 90 degrees, and the angles don't match your angle snap settings.

The auto roof builder is not perfect and often has trouble where there are multiple gables. Suggest it's time to learn manual roofs. Maybe DJP will see this and make you a video.

All the Home Designer products only create single sheet layouts. One layout per file. You will need multiple files -- site plan, floor plan, electrical plan etc to make up your plan set. Or, for another $2,300 or so, Chief Architect Premier has multi sheet layout files.

Here is my suggestion. Forgo the gable right of the entry. Roof planes clean up this way.

No offense intended, but that's a poor roof design for that house.

Take an elevation. Select a cabinet and move it wherever you want.

You may need to use multiple cabinets stacked.

In Plan View, right click the roof plane so it is selected, and choose Display on Floor Above.

Buy Pro. Or post your plan file so someone can work with it. Make sure your pitches and room heights are correct.

Those were built in another version of the software -- like Chief Premier, so you may be able to change colors etc, you won't be able to duplicate them (build new ones) in Pro 2017. I believe this feature was added to Pro 2018.

Is there an applied panel on the right side of the cabinet? Is that the Flush Panel? Click that 3rd icon from the right -- the black one with all the arrows and rotate the cabinet around so the right side is showing. Where did these cabinets come from? Were they in a template plan?

Could you post screen captures showing what's going on? Do you want an applied panel, or one that is part of the cabinet? Placed a door in plan. Moved and resized it against cabinet side.

Don't understand.

I believe Pro 2018 has this feature built in. For earlier versions, you need to do it manually. Create a cabinet of the correct width, but 0" depth. Delete or resize parts you don't want, so all you are left with is a door. Once it looks correct -- like just a panel, save it to the library for reuse. Point to Point move is an easy way to move it into place. There are also individual cabinet doors in the library that you might be able to use.

Suite has many frustrating limitations, but it's the place to start. You can always upgrade without starting over if you feel the need.

I'd recommend starting fresh. Drawing walls is quick, and it helps you learn how the software works.

Suite will probably work, except for the scissor truss ceilings. It does vaulted ceilings, but they follow the roof slope. It might be possible to build 2 models, one for exterior and one for interior, using different roof slopes as needed for each. Architectural has tools that will let you obtain the look of the trussed ceilings. You would create a wedge shaped object to fill in the ceiling creating the look you want. Pro is the only version designed to do what you need. It does trusses and has a ceiling plane tool used for placing ceiling planes wherever you need. There is a new option to rent Pro, and you can upgrade to the next title by paying the difference in price.

That's a typical failing of the program. It does not know to fill in the wall there, and in Suite, I believe you will need to use one of the wedge shapes from the library sized and positioned to fill the hole.

I'm not sales, but SSA is the Software Support offered for a fee to Chief Architect users. SSA Only items are not available to Home Designer users.
