Talk to whoever approves your plans about garage floor heights. Here they need to be dropped and sloped.

Even Suite lets you Include/Exclude a room for the living area calculation.

Don't see the plan file. Need to close Suite before attaching.

Don't give the garage a room type of Garage.

You just need to read/watch videos etc on how to set the pitch in wall specifications.

You need a Material to represent the soldiers. See the website for how to articles. Use a Custom Backsplash or Soffit as a base for your new material.

I'm guessing you have an image of your lot that you want to trace. You need to scale the image first. Go to the Home Designer website and search for trace. Temporary dimensions are not disabled in the trial. Here is a video that goes over using temporary dimensions to draw a plan. Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Po5mVf5QnO0

Draw a wall in plan, open it an go to the Roof panel, review the various settings.

Yep.

If you are doing manual roofs, the Baseline is something you need to understand -- where it is, what effect it has on how the roof builds etc. Geometry, probably. And your roof should easily auto build -- have you tried?

Attach the plan file.

Select a roof plane, look in the Edit Toolbar.

That's what you do. It's common to show the outline of exterior walls in a light color, main layer only, no fill etc, or even dashed too.

@dopant Best practice is to start a new Topic, and add a couple of images (screen captures) and the plan file (close the software first).

What view(s) do you need? You can dimension in plan, elevation and sections.

If there is a room above, it will have a floor structure. The program will not remove it -- you need to do so by using Open Below, or removing room definition on the 2nd floor.

What is above the rooms?

Try this and burying the unwanted parts in the existing framing. Or search my YouTube channel (link in my signature) for Custom Backsplash to see another way.

Open Help, search temporary points.

Temporary Points

You can get an interior sill to show, but it will be wrong -- raise the door 1" I'd use a Slab raised just above the surrounding floor surface.

Close Pro, zip the file and try again.

Have you searched the built in Help system for overhang?
