Dave, I see you provide a ton of valuable help and are an HD expert.
Im strugling with a few things on a 3000sqft home design and would love some help. Roofs and wall dormers
Do you take on customer work?
Thank you

It is ONLY doable using Pro. Trusses are drawn manually using the "truss tool". There are other manual framing tools to obtain exactly the result you wish. DJP

I am guessing from your image that most likely you manually drew the problem roof plan misplacing its "Base Line" from the outer edge of the bearing wall to a more inward position. Overhangs are computed from the baseline, just a guess. Are you using Home Designer Pro? If you were to share a copy of your problem plan I could be more certain in response. DJP

Terrain was added as a feature to this software in 2,000 AD and has always been treated as an "add on". The terrain has a dialog box and part of that dialog box is an input box called "Building Pad". This input box controls the overall height of the terrain plane as an object relative to the "Zero Inches of the first floor's surface". Using trial and error changing the input box values will raise or lower the terrain relative to the structure's height. Take a look and practice with that dialog box-input box. DJP

The features you wish do not exist in any Home Designer title; they do exist in Chief Architect Premier, sorry. DJP
