Delete what you have. Draw 3 Room Divider walls to form the porch. Set the Room Type to Porch. If the problem wall is positioned correctly, you may need to manually shape it in elevation.

I think this may be more complex than simply cutting the wall off at a specific height. Where will your floor structure come from?

You may post the plan here, like you did for the images. Start with an auto built roof, then add the gable. DJP has multiple videos on roofs that will help. https://www.youtube.com/user/c16467

Suite is very limited in terms of framing. You cannot change your floor or ceiling structure, for example. Your roof options are also limited. It's a good tool for visualization, as long as it does not need to be accurate. If you are serious, I'd suggest the upgrade to Pro, as it gives you the ability to model what will be built. This includes the ability to directly modify framing as required, and to correctly model your roof. I did the image posted above using these tools, and it's not possible to do in Suite.

Are you concerned with creating accurate framing, or just getting the look correct? That is, you need to raise your roof up so it aligns with how it will be built, and will look correct in 3D views.

Searching the Knowledge Base for panels brings up a how to article as the first match.

Could you post a sketch or image showing how you want the roof to look? The brief answer is to define a room -- maybe a Porch room type, using invisible walls. Raise the ceiling height so your roof builds where you want.

As a PDF. You might try a different PDF printer, or send the plan to Chief.

Using your saved camera and sending to a new layout, here is what I get. I'm using Chief Premier, but it should work the same. Check your Layer Display Options in Layout. Make sure everything is on that should be.

Layout doesn't help. Did you try zipping the plan? You could also make a copy, then delete all the furniture, cars etc.

You will need to post your plan for someone to check.

Please post the plan file, or images showing the problems. I, and others will just be guessing otherwise.

Read through Help. See this document https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/products/product-chooser.html Record Walkthroughs Along a Specified Path. Add key frames at any point on the spline to control view direction and speed; walk up or down stairs and to span walkthrough between floors. - Interiors Suite Architectural Professional Seems like Interiors lacks this feature.

Have you checked the documentation? Interiors may not have this function.

You control visibility of objects via Layer Display Options. You may turn off the display of the interior objects, leaving exterior walls and roof. Tried what? Tell us specifically what is not showing that needs to, or what is that you don't want to show. You could simply copy your plan and delete unwanted items.

Nope. One really stupid limitation of all the Home Designer/Chief Architect products.

Not sure if you need a Landing. Why are you using one here?

Without images I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but you are able to remove railing from any side of a landing. Click the side you want to change, then Control-e to open it. Select No Railing on Selected Edge.

Look in Preferences under Edit. It's a Cross Hair.

Each view has its own layer set. Make sure you are checking in a 3D view.

Make sure the Terrain is set to display in Display Options.

It looks like this is the Save Camera icon. You need to be in a Camera View for it to function.
