  1. Open the white roof and copy the ridge height. Open the black roof, lock the pitch, paste the copied ridge height.
  2. Delete everything inside the house. That will get the size down. Zip the plan file and post.
  3. It depends on the fireplace. A gas fireplace (no wood fires) might be direct vent where you don't need a chimney. You should do a bit of research on different fireplaces.
  4. Always search the library. I believe even Suite has a few shapes.
  5. I've often wanted to do this, but never found a way. Line Weights The weight of a line refers to its thickness on the printed page and is described in absolute terms as a fraction of a unit, often 1/100th of a millimeter or 1/1000 of an inch. Try sending to Layout.
  6. Just rebuilding the roof on the house -- garage has No Roof checked, completely changes the roof. Don't understand how this can be, since with Architectural, you must use the programs built in roof function.
  7. Was your plan modified in some other version -- Pro or Chief?
  8. You don't have Layout Sets, but Layers, and Layouts. With Home Designer, you have a fixed set of Layers that may be edited, turned on and off, but not grouped. If your basic plan is fixed -- that is, you are not changing walls and other structure, you could make copies of the plan, one for electric, one for plumbing etc. Each of these would have Layers set as needed for the specific type of layout.
  9. 1) Ceiling heights are often a result of what materials the wall is built with, and how it's built. A precut stud for a 10' wall is 116-5/8". Add 3 1-1/2" plates (one bottom, 2 top) and you have a 121-1/8" wall. Finish materials reduce that height. 4) The mouse scroll wheel is often also a button. Press it to activate pan mode.
  10. I imagine you want a dwg to dxf converter. A Google search will find some.
  11. Depending on how fancy you want, something like these are easy to create. This shows molding added to a Custom Countertop.
  12. Providing a link to the Fypon page will help.
  13. Chief Architect questions go in the Chief Architect Forum. Please start a new topic instead of adding your question to an existing thread.
  14. Not sure what you are trying to do -- a picture of the actual room you are trying to model would help. This is a cabinet in a doorway. I made the cabinet 1/16" tall. Done with Suite.
  15. A Balcony room type by default has no ceiling or roof. Change the settings (check the options) in the room structure panel to have a Roof Over This Room and Ceiling Over This Room. Also make sure the ceiling height (absolute elevation) matches the space the balcony is in.
  16. You referenced Chief -- The new name would make it easier ti visualize and adjust the model in Chief. If you are using Chief Architect and not Home Designer, please post in the Chief Architect forum.
  17. Also, do a Backup Entire Plan so we have all your textures etc.
  18. If you could place a saved camera or 3 in the plan, then we would know what you are wanting to render, and give a view to compare.
  19. Point us to the renders you are trying to emulate. Make sure they are done in Home Designer.
