When I build my roof (Hip) I notice in the 3D views, that my soffit's angle back to the exterior wall instead of running perpendicular back to the exterior wall. Is there a setting I am missing to accomplish a flat and perpendicular soffit?

Thank you. Your response gave me an idea. I deleted the roof using "delete roof planes" and all of the walls that were showing up on level 2 disappeared. This will make it much easier to build the 2nd level walls. I also turned on floor reference as you suggested to see the walls on Level 1.

Thanks!

I am trying to determine the best way to add a 2nd level to the home I am designing. Here is the process I am using;

* After creating the entire 1st floor layout, I go to "Build -> Floor -> Build New Floor"

* It gives me the options "Derive new 2nd floor plan from the 1st floor plan" with a sub option to "Step floor/ceiling elevations to match existing floor", and "make new blank plan for the 2nd floor".

My second floor plan walls (ext & int) will not necessarily mirror the level 1's floor plan. The problem I am having is when the new floor is created using "make new blank plan for the 2nd floor" and I am working on "Floor 2", the exterior walls from level 1 are shown on level 2. Do I delete these walls and create new Exterior walls and begin my plan? If I don't, it makes it rather confusing as to which new exterior walls I have drawn as some sit directly above the level 1 walls.

I have added a photo to help explain.

I hope I have been clear enough. If not, please let me know and I will clarify!

Thank you,
