Uploading the plan will help us help you. Just attach the .plan file as you would an image. Make sure the plan is not open in Suite.

No. 

After taking a quick look at the plan, I'd suggest completing it, then working on the roof.

No image attached

These 2 show the invisible room and the roof planes. Note how the upper floor roof only extends over the front half of the room.

This is the reason for breaking the gable wall, so you can set the roof overhangs differently.

The invisible room just provides the small roof for the rear part.

Last pic shows the invisible room. It needs to be adjusted a bit to make everything align at the peak, but shows the idea.

Jeff,

I wish you had also posted a pic of the west wall invisible bumpout, so that we could see what was not matching up.  But I'm thinking maybe raise the ceiling in the invisible room.

 

 

That's what I did -- raise the ceiling in the invisible room until it was close enough to demonstrate the result.

I'm waiting for the OP to respond. Never said what title he has.

Nothing I did could get the Gable Roof Line gable to be a different pitch.

The step was obvious, just wanted to make sure it was the one you were referring to. Sometimes it's difficult to tell what is supposed to be and what isn't.

I'm not sure what is causing this, but when I rebuild the foundation, it goes away.

I would have approached this differently. I imagine you need stemwalls and footings there in Ohio, and would have used level 0 for these. level 1 would have been your level 0, and so on. This would allow rebuilding the foundation level without affecting what is above.

Draw in your own concrete walls as needed on level 1. You could then use Pony Walls to create a step in the concrete wall to match the grade.

Where is the stepped floor?

I just noticed the S and E on your dimension line, which I don't remember ever seeing on my system. I don't see an option for that in settings.

Someone with more experienced is going will need to comment on this one.

Ever made a video? Really hard to help when we can't see what you are doing.

Works as for me. Post your plan file for the best response.

Sounds like a good question for tech support.

I'd try creating the folder where the other library folders are, copying the file over and see what happens.

I tried to do this without using Pro only tools, but as I don't have Suite, not sure if I did.

Achieving this type of roof has been dealt with before, and there may even be a KB article on it.

The key is thinking about the space as 2 rooms.

Draw a wall (Room Divider) under the ridge. Raise the ceiling height of the rear part to whatever the back wall is. 

Adjust the pitch of the rear roof so that the ridge is in the correct place. I used 4.5/12 with an 84" rough ceiling.

Set the roof overhang to 2" on the rear gable end after breaking the gable end wall in the center.

To get the rear part of the gable roof overhang, on the 1st floor, draw a shallow bump out on the back half of the wall. Set the end wall to Full Gable and the front wall to High Shed. Set the walls to Balloon Through Ceiling, and adjust heights to get the roof aligned. Change the overhang so it aligns with the front part of the roof.

Change the walls to Room Divider on the bump out so they don't show.

Room Specifications are for the bump out space.

click on the wall, open wall specification, click roof    remove the D and change the pitch.

That will also change the gable generated via the Gable Roof Line tool.

The gable generated via the Gable Roof Line tools takes its pitch from the main roof, and cannot be changed independently.

The gable generated via the Gable Roof Line tools takes its pitch from the main roof, and cannot be changed independently.

Gable/Roof Lines

The Gable/Roof Line tool can be used to automatically generate a gable above the bearing wall of a hip roof plane. It is best used in situations where roof directives in walls are not possible. For example:

• If a Wall Break would be required in the same location as a door or window;

• Where a wall is not present, such as across the front of an alcove;

• Over a Bay, Box, or Bow Window. 

What is the LawB10 method?

Make the front cabinets 8 to 10" high adjust to the rear cabinets ie: cabinet height 10" floor to bottom 26".

go to the library click millwork> balusters and newels.

adjust the cooktop cabinet so that the Baluster fits the way you want it

for the hood use wall cabinets

How does any of this relate to the island?

Custom countertop, soffit, legs from library.

Just create a copy of an existing wall -- name it something descriptive, then delete one layer of drywall. Done.

Why not just define a new wall type. It's simple as you would be using a copy of an existing wall.

You can turn off moldings on a per room basis, but not drywall.

Good questions for tech support. See the Home Designer or Chief Architect websites.

Are you auto building the roof, because it does not build clean for me.
