I knew it was simple. I just could not find it!

Thanks,

Hello,

I somehow managed to hide or delete the living area calculated field which appears on the bottom of the plan for one specific floor.

I have no value displayed. How do I restore it?

The top of the stairs fail to connect to the 1st floor. If you right click on the stairs and select auto connection you get an error message.

I eventually figured the issue out. Yes, I had the terrain defined incorrectly.

I used a terrain region and set it as the floor for the lower patio. After watching a few videos on pools, I eventually figured out I need to instead use the terrain feature, and set the height to the -96; e.g. the floor of the basement patio.

Now just to figure out why it is complaining about my knee wall and why my retaining walls do not extend downward.

The stairs do not "connect" to the from the walkout basement patio to the first floor patio.

Hello,

Using Home Designer Suite 2021.

I am not sure I did the terrain correctly, and as a result I am having problems connecting stairs from a patio on the first floor to a patio on a walkout basement.

Key points:

• The home site is a flat area on the crest of a steep hill
• The house will be set back about six feet from the edge of the hill
• Retaining walls will extend from the house to cut out the hill, allowing for a basement walkout onto a lower level patio.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Eric,

I found it, but it was not obvious. It was caused by bad roof settings on the patio using a "Dutch Gable".

I think I will put this in as a feature request to be able to go to the object that "created": the auto generated feature..

Auto attic walls are created above a wall below. Have you tried deleting the wall?

Eric,

I delete the wall, it effectively makes it invisible. I delete the invisible wall and it redraws the wall.

There is no wall underneath it.

I have a wall which is offset about 5 ft from my exterior wall which is auto generated in the attic.

I cannot find what element is causing this wall to be magically generated in the air for the attic. (I do have a patio with a roof over it, but the patio is much larger than 5ft.)

How do I track the cause down of the auto generated wall section?

Thanks,
