  1. There is the pan window command -- far right on the screen, small hand icon. On a PC, the middle mouse button acts as to pan, don't know about a Mac. Don't have an idea on the scroll bars, but panning does the same thing and should get you going. You should have 2016, not 2015 too.
  2. If the roof design is stable and correct, you could turn off auto build roofs. Redraw the wall without the break, then join the windows.
  3. The sample plans are compressed and need to be unzipped after download. Have you done this?
  4. Suggest you spend some time watching videos on YouTube. Lots of good info. You will get a feel for how the program works. There is also a good help system within the program. Entering "gable" into the help search would have quickly provided an answer to your question.
  5. At the top of each tutorial is an icon showing which titles it applies to. Also, the Mac and PC versions are the same.

    Roof Problems

    To follow up with what David suggested. I'm just guessing, but here is what I'd try. Draw walls where I show red in the image. That will create a small room. Turn off roof over this room. Build the roof. The overhang should move back. You will need to adjust the position of the walls to get the overhang correct.
  7. DJP is correct -- you can resize, and I should have been clearer. I was responding to the above. You don't "open" a cooktop to modify it. You don't change a 36" cooktop into a 30" like you do a cabinet.
  8. Place a cabinet into the corner that will accept the oven. Add a partition on either side.
  9. You cannot change the size, but you may find different sizes in the library.
  10. Back to back. You could make one cabinet the thickness of the door -- 3/4" for example.
  11. Is there something special about your shelving? That is, any specific reason to show it?

    Rail Cap Issue

    Thinking back, I bet I copied the profile.plan from the 2015 directory to the 2016. Never even considered there would be changes in the new one. Wish they would implement my stylesheet idea where user changes would be in a separate file.

    Rail Cap Issue

    My image above shows a normal interior wall -- not a half wall, set to a solid railing. Using the default profile.plan slightly modified.

    Rail Cap Issue

    I do this often without issue.
  15. I'd make a copy of the plan, then delete the unwanted structure. If you have Edit > Edit Area, you could use that to copy the new part. You might also define different wall types if Suite is capable. Walls that look the same, but use differently named materials so you could tell new vs old in the materials list.
  16. At the top of each Knowledge Base article, there is a list of the titles the article applies to.

    Gabriela -- This is a volunteer forum, so please be patient. I don't know the tools you have in Architectural, but someone will.
  18. I believe DJP has a video showing how to do this on YouTube. A bit of searching should find it.
  19. To add a suggestion after watching David's video. Save a copy of the template file before you make any changes.
  20. I've made changes to the default Plan Template so each new plan automatically has them. I bet you can do the same with the default Layout Template. Open it, add your title block, then save. I'm off to work, but a bit of searching here on the Forum should provide more details. Also check the Knowledge Base for info.
  21. In a camera view, select the upper or lower section of a pony wall and drag the height up or down. Or use a cross section view where you will get dimensions when you adjust.
  22. SSA is not available for the Home Designer titles -- only for Chief Architect
  23. I don't really have a clue about all this as I never do terrains. I was referring to a wall drawn on level 0 -- not a wall set to foundation wall. Looks like a negative height also works.
  24. Did you try drawing the invisible wall on the foundation level?
