That's it!! How the deck do I read up on that. That's exactly it!

I never tried the turret room control, let alone knowing that was even an option!

haha gotcha.

attaching now 

Final design test.plan

circled in red. 3' exterior walls. Hoping to create the dormer/turret style 6-8' tall as a little "viewing nook/day bed" on the second floor. I realize the ICF wall is not correct into the house. Just playing around.

Thanks both, I did create a 2nd floor. Just trying to make a dormer with bay window in it. I have tried both methods with no such luck.

Hey,

I'm trying to create a dormer with a bay window on the 2nd floor for viewing out of 3 sides. My second floor exterior walls are only 3 feet to create an attic style second floor (to 8 feet high). Any ideas how to create this in home designer pro 2021? I have attached my butchered attempts. I have tried both methods of creating a dormer with a bay window and also creating walls that shape in a bay window and building up.

Also any recommendations for roof styles would be nice.

Thanks so much in advance

Tom

ok thanks again Eric

The "auto" feature. Or should I just manually create the dormer? The auto floating feature comes up like this and editing it gets me no where.

Hi All, new style home I'm doing where the 2nd floor walls are 5 feet tall, Then angle a few feet to a 9' flat ceiling. Wondering how to control these dormers? (attached).

Thanks in advance.

Just wondering if anyone has successfully found or created a wood pile (like 4 cords of wood stacked in a row).

I see wood pile in the original library but that's not what I'm after. 

Thanks! 

ill give this a go, thank you

yes i get that for the sides, but the middle one is giving me issues. im not sure how to do a mild radius through the entire top sill of the window

hmmm. I don't. i see shapes and arch, but can't see how to do this...

Hi, is there a feature to create windows like this? (subtle radius in the middle window, slightly larger on the outside) I can do the match roof, but its triangulated. 

Thanks in advance!

you're a rock star. Little things I forget. Thank you Eric

Also, not sure why the terrain feature is always next to my cursor....? not sure what that is all about

Home designer pro 2021 - ceiling planes are not working. I have put a 6/12 pitch in the ceiling before and it works flawlessly (Thanks Eric!). I have put the outside planes on the inside of the drywall. They just wont work. Any ideas how to get this ceiling plane to work? Settings appear to be fine...It's a gable wall. But no luck.. I've tried different things with no luck.

Thanks in advance! 

Thanks Eric, updated. I figured as much. I will review those as well.

Anyone have some good video tutorials on the final plan production of drawings ready for permit submission?

I'm sure there is a post already out there but couldn't find one.

I am close to submitting my first project.

Thanks for any help you may have!

Ok thank you. I updated my signature  

Hi there, I am trying to figure out how to get rid of these "humps" in the upper corners of this open to below room. I want perfect triangle gables over this common kitchen and area. images may explain more if not let me know.  I don't want to lose the look of the outside though.

Is this a ceiling plane feature to fix this?

cheers
Tom
