You have small triangle shaped rooms each side of the bay. Part of what you see is a result of them.
-
That's a good idea. Seems like the people at Chief could create a simple registry that would allow searching for an item that was known to work. You might try contacting someone there directly.

Following the instructions above should get you to the same place as the plan. It's a Pro 2016 plan. On Windows, close Home Designer. Open Task Manager (right click on the Task Bar, select Task Manager). Scroll down looking for Home Designer. If found, select it and use the End Task button at the bottom right. Now try running 2016. You may also need to Run as Administrator, right click on the Shortcut, or program name in explorer and choose Run as Administrator.

Please attach the plan file -- otherwise we are just guessing.

Draw the bay walls. Set the room as Bath, and raise the floor. Place a break where the 2 short walls join the main wall of the house. In a camera view -- 3D or elevation taken from in the bathroom, select the interior wall and drag it down from the top. You should now see into the bump out. Select the three walls of the bump out and change them to Attic walls. This will heal the wounds in the siding. Remove the molding change flooring etc, and you should be close.

The plan you posted uses a box bay window and looks like this. Are you trying to do this differently?
-
I see no gap. Could you post a picture of what you are seeing?
-
The program does not do cabinets with angled backs -- even the newest Chief Premier does not do this. You can set the depth of that cabinet so it does not extend through the wall.
-
You can adjust the floor height in the Room Specification dialog. Enter a negative number to lower the floor.
-
Is there a gap where they should be, or do the studs go all the way down? In the Build Framing dialog, they are specified?

You need the RO size from the manufacturer, if they are true mulled units. I'd use a single window instead of three to produce a framing plan.
-
Tell your contractor to learn to use industry standard notation, or to give you the cash to upgrade to Premier. You can also use your own label, changing each window and door manually.
-
It's easier for us if you will attach images and enter your questions directly in the forum. It also enables the search feature -- no text, nothing for others to search.
-
Have you tried drawing in your own wall?
-
I just tried that command for the first time, and it seems rather limited, almost useless. Why not send your question to tech support and see what they say. If you do, please report back here.
-
It helps if we know what title (Suite, Pro etc) and version (2014, 2015 etc) you are using. Home Designer can only edit files created in the same or older versions.
-
Not sure what you want to do. What are you trying to accomplish?
-
Try the Backup Entire Plan command. It will capture the materials you have used. Don't know about the wall issue.
