Hello all,
I am hoping you fine people can help an amateur home designer out.
My lovely wife and I have purchased a home and I picked up this software (Home Designer Pro - monthly sub) to help us out.
Unfortunately I am running into some issues.
This home has 2 shed style roof planes heading toward each other like a gabled roof but split leveled. The floor is not. Pitch is likely 6-12".
It has a room to one side where the slope of the roof cuts into it which is currently a large storage space we'd like to plan a bath/closet in and on the other a similar situation which is currently unfinished. The main room is open from ground to roof and vaulted and the attic is a central portion, which is part of the higher "shed" section. I could be making little sense. attached are a diagram I drew up, my first attempt (V1) which visually is there but I know has a lot of technical issues - noticeable when I wanted to add a dormer to the future bathroom space (explained in diagram).
Also attached is my next attempt where I started over trying to take what I learned to date and execute a cleaner, more properly designed plan.
So I need help creating the roof(s) properly, one. Two, I would like to make that dormer (preferably mostly glass - as illustrated in my attached diagram and notes). I wonder for the dormer, if I need to create a 3rd "half' floor on the left side of the house to make this work properly. The dormer would Ideally be flush to the left wall.
I am not a pro nor seeking to be. I just want us to be able to properly plan and be able to communicate our ideas. Plus we wish to ad a 2 car garage with an studio apartment/workspace and understanding this would help there to. I am simply looking to learn what I can and am appreciative of anyones help and time.
V1 was over the upload limit so here's a google drive link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l_gtU5epuVBuwTCiXe67qaj3xg46NVWj/view
