That's because Has Newel Posts is checked. If you clear the checkmark, all the newels will go away.

You can't seem to do what?

What are you asking about?

Yes it is. You can remove all newels and place your own manually.

Attach the plan file (almost always helpful) and someone will take a look.

Please see my comments here:

Draw the interior walls separately.

Are you asking a generic question about building, or about modeling something in the software?

Do everything in one file. Site plans are often called a plot plan, and searching here and via the links above should turn up more info. Suggest you create a practice plan where you learn and work through any issues first before spending lots of time on the real thing.

Yes, the toe kick can be deleted -- I should have finished my thought. Pro has the ability to delete/change it from the General panel, or the Front panel. With Suite you must use the Front panel in the dialog.

Your foundation forms a room just like the rooms above. Select it, open it, Structure panel, uncheck Roof Over This Room. I'll suggest yo send this problem plan to Chief/Home Designer. It may be a bug that they will need to see to be able to fix.

Suite doesn't have Slabs.

Dormer videos on my YouTube channel. For your return, use the dormer tool instead of creating your own dormer.

Because HD lacks the ability to define layers in the roof structure, you will need to experiment with the tools it does have. You could use 2 roof planes, one on top of the other, for example. Knowing what it should look like -- not so much how it will be built will help with the best suggestions. How will it be trimmed, for example.

What sort of roof structure? What will it look like? How will it be built?

Where is the roof? Are those parapet walls?

Multiple Copy is a tool in Chief Premier. Make sure you are looking at the Home Designer website -- it's blue themed like HomeTalk.

All we need are the walls. With one of the wall tools active -- any one will work, hold Shift and marquee around the 1st floor. Copy and paste into a new plan. If it's still too big, zip it.
