    Garage walls

    I just tried it and only get the solid wood fill, no studs. Looks like a limitation of the software.

    Works fine here. If no one offers any suggestions, try support on Monday.

    Post the plan and I'll give it a try. I just checked again, and it works fine here.
  4. 3 walls may make a room, 2 curved walls may make a room, but one wall in the shape of a complete circle does not seem to.

    I'll ask again. >>> it changed to rectangular. I don't understand this. Could you post a couple of screen captures showing the problem? Describe the steps you are taking.
  6. If you have unchecked Ceiling Over This Room, then what you are looking at is the underside of the roof. If Suite has Ceiling Planes, you can use them to draw in the ceiling you want. Or change the roof so that it produces the ceiling you are after.
  7. I should have looked at the plan. I've made comments on Houzz where I post as PPF. Could you be more specific about what is wrong?

    Square Footage

    Take a look at the attached image and notice how odd some of the numbers seem. The first is Standard Area, the second is Interior Area. Here is a KB article that might help. http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00552/
  9. Use a FULL CAMERA instead of a FLOOR CAMERA. What does a Full Overview (exterior) look like?

  11. Post the plan. Best way to get help on this type of issue.

    Newbie Issues

    I would go through the process of downloading again. If no one else has a solution, call support Monday.
  13. The traditional way of modeling this type of plan is to have the house and garage on the same floor, then set the garage floor to a negative height to lower it. As for the deck, make sure you are on level 2 when drawing it.
  14. You may get the best answer from Chief. I'd contact sales with your question.

    Something like this? I placed it in the wall in a 3D view, selected it, and using an edit handle, pulled the bottom down.
  16. There are two settings in Pro. Wall Cuts Roof at Bottom, and Lower Wall Type if Split by Butting Roof. I find them to be finicky -- that is, I'm sure I don't fully understand, or maybe the program is to blame, or maybe it's both. Anyway, here are two examples of what can be done. One is open from one floor to another, one is closed using an interior room type of wall. If this is an important feature, suggest you trial the Pro version and see if it works for you.

  18. Is this what you want to model? It's a pass-through and a doorway.

    Balcony

    Since you have Pro, you may also edit the roof plane directly to create a hole for the railing.

    Like this? I drew the walls including the railing, then built the roof.

    After you Choose the file, you must click Attach This File just below.
  22. That's exactly what I got -- that kicked up roof. I did not see the easy fix, but maybe Mick did?
  23. Is this what you are wanting? I cheated a bit and used tools you don't have in Suite to do the roof. Check your ceiling heights -- most are using the default, some are slightly off. I did create a 2nd floor with short walls and no roof to fake the parapet walls.
