Search Help for cabinet filler, follow the trail.

Your roof will auto build correctly if you create a room by extending the front living room wall across to the bedroom, forming a porch. Roofs build over rooms.

Just pull the roof planes back as shown and then use the join tool to bring them back together.

Make sure the plan is not open in the software.

have you searched HELP for Sloped Soffit?

Post #4 above.

Check out the videos on YouTube linked below. Several good ones on roofs. Also search YouTube for David Potter videos. He shows many examples. Those roof planes should join with the Join tool and not have the fascia problems, or just manually edit the roof planes. -------------- Resources for self help: The built in Help System (always a good place to start) Getting Started Knowledge Base YouTube

That's unfortunate, because it, in my opinion, needs lots of work. It looks like this is being built in Alaska. Suggest you rethink the entire plan considering snow and darkness, the apartment above, bathrooms in the resident rooms -- they need doors that open out, for example. Bedroom windows need to meet egress requirements. The exterior looks more like an office building than a home. Maybe something that looks less institutional? How about stairs to the apartment in the rear instead of front, and a private entrance for access to the upstairs. Change Suite 4 so there are windows in the living area. And so on.

I'm suggesting it does not matter what industry standard is, what matters is how the program works. I'd be grateful if you could link "industry standards" for windows. I personally use Left-Operable to describe this type of window.

Because your image is looking at the window from the INSIDE. In the software, for a left sliding window, the right part slides to the left -- looking at the window from the outside.

Window and door handing is always determined looking at a window from the exterior of the home. In the software, for a left sliding window, the right part slides to the left.

Sink with a slab in it. Slab material set to water.

Just take a custom countertop, or a slab, and shape it to have a hole in the center. Think of a straight piece of wire -- bend it around until it forms the desired shape. You end up with the 2 ends butted together,

You can put a slab in the tub and change its material to Water.

Home Designer lacks many of the tools you find in Chief Architect, like the ability to make holes from a polyline. Also, the screencast link does not work.

No. You could build the parts in SketchUp then use them within the program. You might search the 3D Warehouse for already made symbols.

This is a 36" cabinet with a 12" on top. Looks OK to me in a standard view. Have you checked the bonus and manufacturer catalogs available? ----------- Resources for self help: The built in Help System (always a good place to start) Getting Started Knowledge Base YouTube

With Pro, suggest you learn the manual roof tools. You will gain control, and find them to be easier in many cases than trying to auto build the roof. There are good videos on YouTube from Chief, and also David Potter. Resources for self help: The built in Help System (always a good place to start) Getting Started Knowledge Base YouTube

I don't see a need for the Gable Roof Line tool. Why are you using it?

Correct. After doing the first, I used the Transform/Replicate tool to copy at a fixed distance along the wall. A slab can have a footing, but it takes on the material of the slab, so when painting the slab as block, the footings also appear as block, so I made them separately as slabs. You could create an Architectural Block of the 2 pieces and then use it for the interior.

This plan should give you some ideas. The piers need to be added manually. bdfulbright.plan

Without the plan file I can't answer, but will suggest you switch to building a manual dormer. You will gain control and be able to do what you want.

You are using an auto dormer?
