A screen capture or 2 showing the problem would be helpful.

I forget that Pro lacks some of the same roof settings as Chief where you can edit the roof structure and not just the materials and framing. What are you wanting to do by using a SIP roof, for example? It's mostly the same as a framed roof, just without the framing. From Chief.

Search my YouTube channel for truss or custom backsplash.

How are you trying to do your measurements? The Tape Measure tool is available in Elevations. Those lines represent the roof planes.

This is rough, and may not do everything you need, but should get you started. I placed a landing at the top of the stairs and set its height to be the same as the 2nd floor. This gives the stair railing something to connect to and create the transitions.

Have you tried?

Not really.

I edited my post above after David posted. Architecturally, I think it looks best to extend the room out when you have a gable above.

Search my YouTube channel (link in my signature) for dimensions. There are I think 2 that may help. I see David just replied. Unfortunately he shows using manual roof tools which Architectural does not have. I did this just to have something to talk about -- is it what you want? If not, what needs to change? Once we understand your goal, someone might be able to help you get there. Or maybe this.

What do you expect from such a library?

Thanks -- just turn them off in one or both of the walls.

Please post images directly -- no need to make a PDF of an image. This makes it easier for others as an image shows in the forum. ----- Generally, it's best to not manually drag wall top and bottom in camera views. As I suggested above, it turns off some automated behavior. Check the box for Default Wall Top and see what happens.

The program should automatically be building a wall there. There is probably some setting that is incorrect. I always suggest understanding the program and why it's not doing something, and especially the automatic functions that should be working. Manually adding things, like your wall, changes how the program operates in ways you may not understand, leading to further problems.

My example above has the roof built off the 1st floor walls, and shows the dormer built on the 2nd floor. Suite lacks the option to change roof planes. For best help, post pictures (screen captures) and the plan file. With Pro, there should be no problem with placing dormers as wanted, or just building your dormer manually.

Not sure what the problem is. I did this in Suite. You can select a dormer, cut it, switch levels and Paste/Hold Position to place it.

If you still have a problem, attach the plan file -- close Pro first.

Go to the attic level and verify there is no wall there -- it may be there but set to invisible.

Have you looked in the library and checked bonus catalogs?

I've not looked at the plan -- posting a 3D image is helpful as often suggestions can be made without needing to download and open a plan. If you have a structure with some sort of roof, you might try building the deck on the floor above, then lowering it. You are free to delete framing that is not needed.

You can also change the attic wall to a Pony Wall, changing materials as needed.

Searching Help prior to asking here will help you and us That tool was removed from the toolbar because it does not work very well. Once you try it, you will understand. You can add it back via Customize Toolbars.

For a Cross Section, use CAD. You won't be able to show in 3D. You might create a symbol in SketchUp or another application and import, but Home Designer does not have the ability to accurately model a pool.

Go to floor 0. Build>Floor>Delete Current Floor Make your changes, then build the foundation.

Review the different Material Painter Mode options. You cannot group objects together for the purpose of changing materials, but you can change all objects with the same material with a single click.
