If you will provide a link to the SKP file, others may test the procedure. The SKP may have been created in a newer version of SketchUp, not supported by Pro 2107.

Note: If you are using an older version of Home Designer, then you may not be able to import the most recent version of the SKP file, so consider downloading an older version if one is available. It may be that the SKP is too new for your version. Link to the SKP file and I'll give it a try.

Thanks I don't do much with terrains, and I don't have Architectural to play with, but here is something that may help. These are Garden Beds, numbered in the order they were drawn. Same items, except I made #2 thicker (and higher) than #1.

I'm curious, and simply wanting to understand how others look at the software. Did you consider painting the casing (and if needed, lintel) with a brick from the library. Also, why an orthographic camera? I don't think I've ever used any of the orthographic views.

Notice I've drawn an almost complete round -- just a small straight section to fill in the gap. Try searching this forum for some tips on round rooms. I remember this being discussed, but it's been a while. I'd start by drawing a CAD circle for a guide, then drawing in the walls. The roof may not build cleanly. In my case, there are a bunch of extra roof planes generated, but they can just be deleted.

Did you click on the image of the cabinet? The drawer or door?

Are you rebuilding framing after the change? Post your plan file (in a new thread please) for the best answers.

Look at using a Lintel.

This was discussed on ChiefTalk and if I remember, no one had a good answer. You might search there and see what has been said.

Have you tried a manual roof plane? If yes, what is the issue?

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.

1) Please fill out your Signature -- see below. 2) Cable railing is a Panel. First set the stair to use the Panel rail type (under Style), the select the Panel you want -- in this case Cable Railing. -------------- It helps if we know what title (Suite, Pro etc) and version (2014, 2015 etc) you are using. You can add this info to your signature by clicking on your user name at the top right of the page, click Account Settings, then Signature on the left. Doing so makes it always available, and this info is often key to providing a good suggestion Resources for self help: The built in Help System (always a good place to start) Getting Started Knowledge Base YouTube

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.
