Does this help?

It depends on how accurate, and exactly what you want to show. Your options are limited with Architectural. You cannot, for example, remove the back from a cabinet.

As I suspected -- don't know why people change these settings Do you see what's wrong?

You didn't show any of that above I think you will still need to do some things manually. Only Pro lets you define floor structures, for example.

Select the circled wall in elevation and reshape it so it fills in.

I would add your roof/ceiling and floor structures manually using soffits or slabs or custom countertops. Make the room Open Below and no roof. Your columns need to be placed manually too. Architectural doesn't have the control over structure that you need to do much automatically.

The easiest way to get a curved roof is to use a dormer. You then need to use the manual roof tools to modify.

I did this video for Chief Architect users, but you might get some ideas from it as pro has many of the same tools.

I believe the material needs to be set to Area -- it's now set to Count. You need to report this directly to Chief so it can be corrected.

I believe you need to start with a standard Perspective Overview and change things to show as you want. For your wood framed walls, you would create a new wall type without drywall and turn on the wall framing layer so it shows.

A framing overview only shows walls on level 0 and walls above that are framed. It doesn't show walls that are not framing like a CMU or pored concrete wall.

I see no CMU walls, so which walls are you referring to?

What does it look like in a camera view? Attach plan for best help.

You cannot copy a floor, but you can group select all the objects on a floor and copy/paste those. The problem is that Architectural lacks the precise positioning tools needed to align floor to floor. Best to just experiment and see what happens. Remember the Paste/Hold Position tool, and you will need to create a blank floor in the plan your are copying to.

You might begin by watching the last video I linked above. Start by creating an accurate model of the existing house. All you need are walls and roof. Resist the urge to fill it up with cabinets, cars, pictures on the wall, electrical etc. Once this is complete, copy it and add the structure of your addition. I'd learn manual roofs and not try to use the automatic roof builder. See the links above and I have a Roofs playlist on my YouTube channel, and David Potter has many more on his channel.

Holding Control while dragging overrides movement restrictions.

And add a saved camera that i can use to see the problem.

Draw a new, one room plan using your problem floor material. Attach it (close Pro first) and I'll have a look.

If you tell us what you are doing, and show a screen capture of "all weird and funky" someone might be able to give you some suggestions. See the links posted above for articles and videos, and i think I have a shed dormer video on my channel. The simple answer is with Pro and its roof tools (auto and manual), what you show should be simple.

Built roof framing, increased the size and length of a rafter. You get proper grain patterns if that's important.

It would help to have pictures showing what you are trying to model. Have you considered a Sloped Soffit? They are often used for exposed beams. Check Help, the HD website etc for more info.

You can edit the size and shape. Open it and change parameters, or view in elevation and make changes. No moving to a different layer in Home Designer.

Try modifying a rafter or other auto generated framing member.
