  1. The settings for your level 0 rooms are creating the walls below the piers. Review the graphic on the structure panel to see what needs to be changed. With Pro, you can draw whatever roof you need, place walls and windows as needed. Do you have a picture of what you want to model? And please try 1 question, or at least one subject per post.
  2. I'll assume you are stuck joining the 2 cabinets together, and I'm not sure how to describe the process other than "start by joining the 2 cabinets together". Hopefully someone will make a video. Is this the basics of what you are after?
  3. What specifically are you having an issue with?
  4. A carport is just like a porch. The software needs a room to build a roof over. Use a Room Divider to outline the area of the carport, making sure you create a room. Set the room as a Porch and you will get a 4" concrete slab and roof. Post the plan file for more help. Make sure it's closed in Home Designer before posting.
  5. Only Pro has manual roofs, and attaching the plan almost always helps. See the image for a fix. Or you can set the 2 little triangle shaped rooms to Open Below.
  6. Look in the Knowledge Base under Cabinets to learn about corner cabinets.
  7. What happens when you build the roof?
  8. If you want a simple flat panel, use a partition from the cabinet menu. You can create a fancier version using a cabinet.

    No. You will need to draw the house plan first. That will let you produce a 3D model which you may change as you wish.
  10. Doors as sidelights work fine. I would select Show Closed so they look better in plan view. Place the window in a camera view.

    Terrain Question

    This has been discussed recently. A forum search should bring up those threads.
  12. If this is an existing structure you are modeling, could you post a picture? My guess is that you will need to build separate buildings with a shed roof on each, then with auto rebuild roofs off, move them together. Deleting the extra common wall. Start by drawing a long space, then break the walls and pull apart to create two spaces. This will insure the walls align when you move them back together.
  13. I cannot reproduce the error, and in all the work I did in the roof thread, I never found this. Suggest sending to tech support, especially if you can reproduce.
  14. Is this what you are wanting? I'm guessing you have auto rebuild foundations on, so when you add something like the bay, you will get a foundation under it.
  15. No. Limitation of the software. Ideas can be found via a forum search -- there have been some recent threads on this subject.
  16. I would submit this to tech support. Those 2 unwanted items seem to show up in every room -- or at least the ones I looked at.
  17. The plan file (xxx.plan) -- not an image of the plan. Should have been more specific. Make sure it is not open in the program.
  18. I was confused by the metric measurements on the stairs. When I converted I see the stairs work as drawn.

    Ceiling problem

    Post the plan please.
  20. You cannot. You will need to use a landing or separate stair.
  21. Much better on the images. I don't see this on my plans, or on the roof editing plan you posted. Could you post a simple plan that demonstrates the problem?
  22. Suggest you draw your own bay as there are limitations when using the Bay Window tool. You align walls between floors with the Reference Floor Display. Control drag the wall into position.
  23. What I do is -- and I do not know if this can be done with the tools you have available. My screen capture program has a Repeat Last Capture function (F11). So I take a capture of the area, then go back to Home Designer and setup what I want to capture, then F11 (the hot key for my capture program) takes a second capture without disturbing Home Designer. I use an old version of HyperSnap. My guess is that most other screen capture programs have similar functionality.
