    Wrapped Porches

    So do you understand why you are getting all hips? It's what you told the program to build.
  3. Search Help for living area label.

    Fun with Roofs

    Change to an exterior wall, but you may see the exterior material on the inside, or cover them with an additional material. Thin soffit and or a shape from the library -- look for wedge.

    That confirms your settings are correct, now to get Suite to not change them. Attach the plan file and someone will have a look. There a couple of people good at doing this and maybe they will have a look.

    I was referring to the hip roofed section.

    boathouse roof

    I assume you are auto building the roof -- it's always important to say. Draw 4 walls, build the roof. Make the roof correct. Turn off auto rebuild roofs. Make changes to make everything under the roof correct.

    Fun with Roofs

    Rooms all have a Roof Over This Room setting on the Structure panel.

    This is what you want? Try turning off the roof on this side of the missing gable and see if it builds correctly. Is the remainder of the roof correct? You can attach the plan file (close Suite first) but someone will need to know what is correct.

    Fun with Roofs

    Roofs build over rooms, so you need to create rooms with different ceiling heights (ceiling height controls wall height). Any existing walls may be in the way, so suggest you remove them and just focus on the roof. Once it's perfect, turn off auto rebuild roofs, remove temporary walls and draw in what's really there.
  11. Open Help and search for corner. You will need to place short columns manually.

    Wrapped Porches

    How did you build the porch roof?
  13. Have you looked at any of the programs that can read them? Maybe they could export to a format Pro can use.
  14. You normally show both floors on a plot plan. Is there a reason you need to show the 2nd floor separately?
  15. That's not an option. You will need to draw the beam in manually.
  16. You won't be able to do a consistent radius like this with Pro. What you can do is make one big window, then fill in the missing parts manually.
  17. Did you find Full, Left and Right Arch?
  18. Open the window and review the settings -- you should see something obvious.
  19. It's really helpful to have a screen capture to look at so we see what you see. Are you in plan view or a camera view? Inside the house or outside? Do you have a drawing or sketch of the house you want to model? One of the regulars here, David Potter offers consulting and teaching services.

  20. You probably don't need the 2nd floor. I did not use one and you can see I had no gaps.
  21. Select the Layout Box, Open Object, suppress the label.
