Each user has their own directory under the Users directory. Substitute User Name for the actual user name, and Home Designer Pro with whatever product you have, Users\User Name\Documents\Home Designer Pro You may copy or move files to the new directory. There also may be an option when installing the program to Install for All Users. This may create a directory elsewhere that everyone has access to.

Why are you wanting to do this?

I took a very quick look at the plan -- this may be a challenge without manual roofs. Not sure what the 1st level roof should look like, so I can't give specifics, but to get this, I broke the front wall and unchecked High Shed / Gable. Probably did some other things too.
-
Try pushing a soffit into a corner like you would for a corner cabinet. You could use multiple overlapping soffits, one for each side. You could use very thin soffits placed and sized to go behind the crown where you want it.

I'll suggest you look elsewhere for that type of information. This forum deals with building the software model and not the real thing. If you have a basic understanding of construction, you will see that it progresses generally from the bottom up, then outside in. Many books will teach you the basics, and some searching via Google will answer all your questions.

Are you asking about building the model in Home Designer, or actually constructing a home?
-
Check all the walls making sure they are connected to one another, and none are marked No Room Definition. And, please post images directly -- no need to make a PDF of an image.
-
I did not look at the plan, but guess the program sees a 2nd level room, so it's placing the roof at the proper place.
-
Wall heights are governed by ceiling height. I would guess the ceiling height in that space is higher than the surrounding area.
-
Fairly simple in Chief by creating a large casing, and changing the window inset. Not sure if Pro has this ability. You may need to model this is as a box bay.

Suggest contacting customer support.

You don't always get that. The program is asking for clarification, so if you don't get it, there is only one place for the roof plane to go. If it is in the wrong place, roof planes may be moved up or down as needed via their dialog or by using Transform/Replicate.
-
Not sure what you are asking. You draw manual roof planes where you want them, then adjust as needed.
-
Layers dialog.
-
See if you can Lock the elevation data layer.
-
Just like you posted the pictures.
-
Your image shows white fascia on all roof edges. What do you see?
-
Does your structure have a garage wall up against the house wall? If you delete the garage wall the roof and wall will correct themselves.
-
Something like this? Attaching pictures and your plan file -- make sure it's not open in Suite, will help us.
-
Could you explain reverse?
-
I would locate the doors and windows via their centers, using a wall measurement and 1/2 the casing to casing dimension. Make sure your Dimension Defaults are set to locate wall surface and not framing. I don't believe Suite is capable of doing what you want. --------------------------------- Resources for self help: The built in Help System (always a good place to start) Getting Started Knowledge Base YouTube

Any suggestions how to incorporate Timber Stairs in a Terrain?
solver replied to NDlakehouse's topic in Q&A
That's what I would do. Depending on your design, Transform Replicate, and blocking things together so you can move multiple items at once, may help. -
You might want to contact Support tomorrow.
-
Depending on how this is/will be built, you might remove the landing and replace it with a lowered 2nd floor platform.
-
Suite is limited in many areas. Fixing the wall marked as C would be simple in Pro, for example. If Suite has an Inverted Wedge in the library, you might try using it to fill in the gaps above the roof.
