  1. What do you expect from such a library?
  2. Thanks -- just turn them off in one or both of the walls.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

    Dormers

    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.

    Dormers

    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.
  7. If you still have a problem, attach the plan file -- close Pro first.
  8. Go to the attic level and verify there is no wall there -- it may be there but set to invisible.

    Detail's Download

    Have you looked in the library and checked bonus catalogs?
  10. 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.
  11. You can also change the attic wall to a Pony Wall, changing materials as needed.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Go to floor 0. Build>Floor>Delete Current Floor Make your changes, then build the foundation.
  15. 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.

    Eave returns

    Help can be helpful. Posting an image of what you want to build is also helpful.
  17. Post a picture showing what you would like.
  18. Lots of help available -- see the links posted above.

    Roof Strapping

    Copy one of these, resize and move/distribute as needed.

    Roof Strapping

    What are you trying?

    Cathedral truss

    How what was done?
  23. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/93kgC-Bcue4?hd=1
  24. I deleted the rear roof plane and the front one, redrew the rear and then copy/reflect about the ridge to make the front one. Reshaped as needed and connected edges.
  25. The 2 roof planes need to match. Same baseline, pitch, fascia height etc. Suggest you delete framing until everything is correct. Try breaking the wall and specifying Roof Cuts Wall At Bottom for the part that is missing. ---------- I've not looked at the plan, but would start by auto building the roof, then make changes as required. Post back if the above suggestions do not work.
