  1. It helps to say exactly what the problem is. I'll guess and suggest you change the railing wall type. Use a new wall type with materials set to match what it connects to.
  2. Search the Home Designer site for trace. Or
  3. Look at Lower Wall Type When Split By Butting Roof. You may need to pull the roof plane back then snap it back to the wall.
  4. Check out some of these threads https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/search/?q=cape cod&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and
  5. You seem to be asking about levels and not layers. Cut and paste walls from one level to another. You can do this with Reference Display, but there is a bug and the footing outline is missing the end lines. You could draw your footing manually on the foundation level and turn off the footing display for levels above.
  6. You are giving us a keyhole view of the problem. Is this an existing structure? If so pictures of it, inside and out would help. Using the manual roof tools is often easier than trying to get the automatic roof to build correctly.
  7. It looks like you need to lower the roof, and it's not real clear what you are trying to accomplish. These 3 roof planes should probably be the underside of your roof.
  8. What I show in the video -- using the driveway tool and changing the lines to arcs to reshape does work. I know in the video it did close up, but if you are careful it does not. I don't see this as a bug, but rather a limitation of the tool. Similar to what Keith suggested, Try something like a Garden Bed raised just a bit to create the grass in the center.
  9. I looked and do not see an answer. Suggest sending to tech support.
  10. Use Edit Area to Copy/Paste
  11. It helps to describe how you are doing things as frequently there are different tools that do similar things. Like I'm using the _______ tool to draw a driveway that circles around a group of trees and then connects back to itself.

    Roof Cache?

    You need to build the roof, or turn on auto rebuild.

    Roof Cache?

    You can auto build a gambrel roof, but not one that's also flared at the bottom, so you will need to do part of the roof manually.

    Roof Cache?

    It looks like you have the pitch settings inverted. See how your upper roof plane is steep, and the lower is less so -- just the opposite of a gambrel.
  15. In Vector View, you can toggle off color. Look at the tools on the toolbar at the far right of the screen, or press F8.
  16. I've not seen this problem and do not know what's causing it. Try this. Open the layout, marquee around it to select everything, and Copy. Close the layout. Open the plan and send to layout. Marquee around the entire layout and Delete. Paste/Hold Position. Save as a new name. Close the Layout. Reopen the Layout. Does it look normal? Double Click the layout box that shows the plan to open the plan file.
  17. That feature is rather buggy. I'd add the gable manually.
  18. What are you calling a "layout plan"? Pro has the ability to create Layouts, which are separate from the plan file. You might try Window>Fill Window Building Only And it's often helpful to attach the plan file after closing Pro. Allows someone to troubleshoot.
