Read about Use Soffit Surface For Ceiling.

Thank you Solver. I couldn't find that article, but I clicked the soffit button along with flat ceiling and it solved the problem. I thought I had to choose one or the other. 

When drawing porches, I often run into this problem. Is there a setting I'm missing? Any ideas would be appreciated.

God bless,

Think about the wall type you are using.

Yes! Thank you!! What a wonderfully easy solution.

I'm having this problem any time I create a porch. The edges of the slab, where the invisible walls are located, leaves a step down around the edge of the slab. When I mess with different features and try and get it to smooth out, it does (see picture). Then about 3 seconds later, it pops back down. It seems like a glitch, but maybe I am doing something wrong. It definitely makes the finished 3D look less than ideal. Hopefully there is something I am doing wrong and way to stop this from happening.

Thank you,

Search for ledge in Help.

 

You only have control over the depth, not the height.

 

Your exterior walls are marked as Foundation Wall -- why?

Making it a foundation wall was one of the many things I tried, to see what might cause the foundation to move. I will check out "ledge".

Like a brick ledge?

Yes, just like a brick ledge, but for metal siding. Slightly different dimensions.

Something wrong with your plan attachment.

 

Try again.

Ok, I rezipped it and reattached it.

Yes, It is on. I have tried turning it off and on. Deleting the slab and having it rebuild. Changing the wall specs. The foundation continues to build the same. The exterior looks like this, in spite of what the wall details show.

Thank you,

I'm not finding a way to create a metal ledge on a monolithic slab? Is there a way I've missed? Or must this be done manually?

I have read and watched all sorts of things. My foundation does not seem to move when I change the wall specifications. The foundation remains built under the framing rather than extending out. I'm confused because under wall definitions it shows something different.

Thank you,

Angie

Thank you Eric.

That will work.

I upgraded to Home Designer 2021 so that I could print in Arch D size. However, I can't seem to figure out how to get the text boxes ,that you put all the blueprint info in, to also change size.

Is there an easy way?

Thank you

Perfect. Thank you Eric!

I'm working on finishing my electrical plans. Several rooms have fans with light kits on them. The program is auto-creating 3 way switches. I just want 1 fan switch and 1 light switch. Is there a way to override the auto 3 way feature? What's the trick?

Thank you,

Angie

Thank you foe responding. Have a blessed day!

Angie

Yes, this issue too. Hoping for help.

I was able to import a survey dxf file plan but the measurements the program read, it interpreted in Inches. I have tried to change it to feet, section by section, but it causes chaos. Is there another way that I can change the way the program reads the measurements? I need the plot to be to scale so I can add in the buildings.

Thank you,

Thank you very much @solver and @davidjpotter. I did try the soffit method but the bricks didn't look right, thank you Davis for explaining how you turn the direction of the bricks.

The answer is "Yes" but exactly "How" depends upon what Home Designer Software you are using, what are you using please?

Home designer pro 2020. Is that not showing up on my signature? I see it on my end. 

Thank you David,

Is it possible to do stone soldiers on the sill and lintel? Also lining the roof as pictured? I may need to search another term. That's just what I call them, and I'm not finding anything.

Thank you,

Angie

It's telling me  "You are only allowed to upload 10.78mb"  Any ideas?

Go to my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEdfVxgACCzOZ2xeZHxBEtQ/) and look for a recent video on ceiling planes.

I've watched and rewatched. It's just not cooperating. Any more tips for why the vaulted ceiling doesn't show up? The living room is my main concern. The clients would like to see the look. 

I followed an instructional video on installing vaulted ceiling planes. It seemed pretty simple but it's not showing up in 3d view. Do I have to build framing first? I'm trying to put vaulted ceilings only over the living room area.

Thank you

Ha! I love it. More of a farm style vibe.

I'm home pulling my hair out. I'm trying to get the house to a good enough place to ask a question...or two. :0 It's all fun and games until I get to roofs. 

Eric, huge help, thank you very much for your time.
