There are no alignment tools in Home Designer products -- something I could not believe was missing. You will learn to use the center tool, point to point move etc in their place. Often drawing a CAD line, or lines helps. You can precisely locate the CAD lines, then center or move other items to them. Some things cannot be blocked. Place 2 cabinets in a plan. Select them both, then right click on the center handle to see options. You will find Make Architectural Block. There is also an icon in the Edit Toolbar, I believe, that is available when blocking is allowed. Work through the YouTube videos linked in the above post, picking out the Home Designer specific ones.

The help system contains much info. Search around there for answers to many questions.

You might try tech support. Without the plan file, we are just guessing. Did you verify Temporary Dimensions were on?

Read about Temporary Dimensions in Help.

What is KNX? Have you checked the 3D Warehouse? For searching, use the search on this page. It searches the Forum and Support Database with no restrictions.

The program does not automatically add walls. If you want to see for yourself, take a camera (3D) view of the space. Drawing in a separate wall is how it should be drawn, but Suite has limited wall types, and you may not be able to perfectly model what will be built. -------------- Resources for self help: The built in Help System (always a good place to start) Getting Started Knowledge Base YouTube

You may need to create a 2nd floor, with a room definition of Attic. I'd test in a simple, one room plan first.

Sloped soffit.

In the upper left and bottom left (from the outside), there are 2 windows in the same space. Select the windows in those two spaces and delete them (deleting the extra window), turn exterior casings on.

I'd send this to Chief. I have had similar problems. As a work around, you can use a Custom Backsplash for the trim.

Posting a plan file will help. All we need is the wall with the windows.

I don't understand where you do and do not want casing.

Your question is a bit like "I'm looking for a new shirt, anyone have one that will fit?". What type of foundation and drainage? ----------------- Resources for self help: The built in Help System (always a good place to start) Getting Started Knowledge Base YouTube

This is what I see. You need to make your porch a Porch and not Undefined. Still not clear what you want from the porch that is not there now. As for the bumpout, use a room divider. If you want the inside 3D to look correct, you will need to draw in your own ceilings for those 2 small spaces. Also, spend a bit of time with the documentation, and some of the links below.

What trouble are you having with the porch roof? For the bumpout, make it a room and set No Roof for that room.

Also, make sure any needed layers are on in the camera view.

A bit of math is required as there is no Follow Stairs. Knowing the rise and run of the stair, place a light, use Transform Replicate to copy over and up (or down). You can also use CAD lines. See this thread for some ideas. Make the horizontal line follow the stair.

Could you post a picture of how this needs to look? The software, including Chief, needs to be tricked into modeling this condition and it helps to understand what needs to be done.

Did you have a reason for setting the casing default width to 0"?

It's common, even using Chief, to use CAD to mask what you don't want to see. Draw whatever shape is needed, set the fill to solid.

Please post a picture of what you are seeing. Like Kat, I see no problem. I do wonder why the doors have no casing.

Rebuild the roof, or manually raise it to the correct height. What is the deck roof supposed to look like? Easiest is to draw a manual roof plane if it is a simple shed.

To fix the problem shown in post #8 picture, use a soffit to cover the slab.
