Select the terrain peremeter while on floor 1, in the "Edit Toolbar" select "copy". Then move your plan view to floor 0 (foundation level). Then go to "Edit - Paste - Paste Hold Position which will cause a copy of the terrain plane polyline to be copy-pasted in the same "X-Y-Z" location as the terrain plane above. This action does NOT create two terrain planes but just a plain, closed polyline. DJP

Sloped soffits can be configured and manually located to serve your purpose. DJP

It must be finished up manually by you and your mouse. DJP

Thank you for sharing a copy of your file. I looked it over, especially your "Roof Tab" settings in the walls. I have to say I have NO IDEA what you are trying to do. Is this an existing structure? Do you are can you create and share any photos of the existing structure at all to help clarify what the heck you are trying to do please? TOO many unknowns at this point, sorry. Without more understanding all I can do is guess, which I had rather not. DJP

Post a copy of your plan file and I will fix the roofs in about 5 minutes, if you like. This is not "rocket science"! DJP

It should be easy via manual manipulation to correct what the auto-roofs created, try that. DJP

It is unclear from you post and images exactly what you wish to do. Please explain in greater detail please. DJP

Search the Home Designer Website (homedesignersoftware.com) take a look at the help articles and videos about "custom materials" please. DJP

What software you have will determine the routes you may want to take. DJP

In Suite and Architectural, framing is automatically produced and is NOT manually editable. In HD Pro, unless you have ordered framing to be built, automatically or otherwise, then no framing with be in evidence until you cause it to exist. Also in your shared image, roof planes layer is obviously ON and can easily be turned off in the "Display Options" dialog for that camera type. DJP

What I commonly do is to create an "as built plan file" and then from a copy of that the "proposed plan file", then I can indicate the demo and new walls separately in each plan file (see attached PDF example) DJP 909 Pine.pdf

No "trick" just Go to your second floor. Turn on your "Reference Display" so you can "see" the "L" shaped stair from the second floor. Draw around the stair with "railing walls" or solid walls as you choose, and then designate the resulting "room" to be "Open Below" (no floor area) which is what the "Stairwell" tool does by itself as above, just manually.

The "Project Browser" does not exist in any Home Designer Titles, it is a Chief Premier/Interiors only feature, sorry. DJP

Share a copy of your plan, and I will be happy to show you. DJP

You did that correctly as far as I can see, in terms of the shed roofs shown, of course they do not fully match the photos because the open, covered porch has not yet been added as well as the front porch but you are headed in the right direction, just more yet to learn. DJP

In order to customize the floor structure you must have either Home Designer Pro or Chief Premier or Interiors. Architectural does not have this ability. DJP

Without knowing which software title and version you are using, no one can help you with a positive answer. Fill out your posting "signature" so others know what you are using. Then state what you have tried that "did not work" so other helpers can then help as they wish to. DJP

When you select a stair object in plan view, in the resulting "Edit Toolbar" (the toolbar that appears when any object is selected and disappears when any object is deselected) you will find a command icon called "Auto Stairwell" which when left-clicked upon, creates a "Stairwell" aka hole in the floor so the stairs can be traveled. Check it out! DJP

Commonly I usually auto build roofs and then manually clean up the results as I desire. Auto or manual, the point is getting the results you wish. DJP

Your computer is probably not within the "Minimum Requirements" necessary to use Home Designer Pro or Chief Architect Premier: DJP
