I took a look at the article you are following and noticed it's from 2015. I'm guessing the program changed and the article was not updated.

Pictures of the actual house would help, but try breaking this wall and making the problem part invisible.

The room over the stair should not have a floor. It sounds like it needs a lowered ceiling and be set as Open Below.

No

Link above was for general info -- nothing to do with the framing problem.

That's what I need. Try zipping it after you have removed plants, furniture, cars etc.

You never use that method when you want accuracy -- always use dimensions. I'm sure you will find info via the links I posted above.

Start a new plan. Draw a rectangular structure and put a dutch gable roof on it. If you can do that, you can do your house. Add the master bedroom to the rectangle. The roof will change -- you will need to break the long wall and set the master bedroom part you just added back to a hip wall.

Draw them on the 1st floor. Hold Alt, or draw using the right mouse button from the deck down.

If you are using a 12' board and want a 1" overhang, then your framing, no matter what the program says is 143". Is this too much for your crews? Doing high end decks you probably use a composite board to cover your wood rim, so you would need to account for it too.

Why should it? From Help. • Specify how far the deck planking Overhangs the rim joists.

It's helpful to see what you are doing -- what your plan looks like and a 3D view or 2 showing your results. Here is what I've come up with using the Architectural 2021 trial.

There are threads discussing saltbox and cape cod roofs. Suggest a forum search to start. If you don't find a solution, post back here.

Not sure about that -- will reply if I think of something.

Experiment with these settings.

Did not look in the reference manual, but that for that symbol, you cannot change the shape of individual parts. If you need something different, you will need to model it yourself from individual parts.

Cannot read the message -- best to capture part of the screen instead of the whole thing. Have you rebooted your system?

You probably need more overhang. With Suite, you cannot change or remove gutters.

No image. Draw ceiling plane, adjust thickness. What are you having trouble doing?

That's the best way -- what's the problem with that method? Parapets often have a cap, and you can use a Ceiling Plane for that if needed.
