Hi! Was in contact with support, and in home designer pro product, this settings can not be changed. I did update my drawings with using the normal measuring tool. Br Johan

Is lines only showing millimeter or can it be changed to meters, thats the big issue for me..

yes,I have used lines in the cross sections views. Reason being it was easier to get exact dimension matching the plan drawing, as the measurement tools was very difficult to get exact match on millimeter level. Br Johan

Is there a way to update manually line lenght to meters instead of millimeter? Because when I draw a new line (with arrows) in my cross section view and select to display the lines lenght, it still shows milimiters instead of meters, despite having default settings in meters.

So I cannot even recreate new lines in meters.. I am stuck..

Hi!

I am in panic mode as I have to change all my measuments to meter instead of milimeter in my application to the local authorities.

Changing Dimension Defaults Format tab to meter, updates the Plan drawings, great!

But all my lines I created in cross sections view remains in mm! Changing to meters in the Line Specification/Numbers/Angle style dialogue, just change to meters within the dialog box itself, not what is displayed on the cross section.

Creating new lines also show mm. I have Home designer pro 2022.

Probably there is a simple setting I have missed but I have looked everywhere..

Any one with a good idea?

Many thanks in advance! /Johan

Thanks so much Jo-Ann and David! I will test your advices!

Very learningfull to see you work David, but I feel a little bad not having said to ignore the "strange" garage roof. The garage roof is a flat concrete terace - but when rebuilding the house roof the zero angle of the garage roof gets deleted and roof gets rebuild, so the last thing I do when ready is to set garage roof pitch to 0. Maybe there are smarter ways...

I understand why the design on the garage may look strange, but the part without building on top is the neighbours, and the garages are just on the property border. So the house on top is like 60 cm into our property to make it possible to maintain without having to walk in to the neighbour =). The garages exists today but will be teared down and rebuilt. Neighbours garage will be rebuilt exacly as today and ours is to become deeper and broader and with the house on top. Attaching a photo of how it looks today - not a too pretty sight...

Once again, many thanks! JohanNuvarande garage.pdf

I think the issue is related to the software thinks there is a wall at the end, and you see it in plan view, but is not deletable.. just becomes visible/invisible when you try to delete.

Hi! The building does not exist. The roof should look like in the first picture in the post, which is the original file. Now I am creating an option 2 by reducing the size of the on top building, but fail in getting the roof ok. I printed the erronuos file and tried to manually point out what i try to achieve in below file. Br Johan

How helpfull! Many thanks! Pls let me know how it was fixed. /Johan

Attefall Garage+komplementbostad + trapphus.plan

Looking at the plane view it seems there are walls surrounding the open square in front of the staircase door. Trying to delete it and it becomes visible and it goes up to the upward pointing roof plane, so the problem seems related to this "remaining" wall. So strange that the very outer part (above entrance door) follows the wanted pitch and stops were intended. I have deleted the roof plane a regenerated several times with the same result. How do I take a way this wall that seems to be the problem?

The piece of roof pointing right up should be bent down as the other part and finish at the wall, not extending over the square in front of the door.

Hi! From the “original” drawing I have reduced the size of the small house on top of the garage by 2 meters, keeping the garage size below the same (staircase now within the garage walls. )

I just want the roof to shape as on the original design. Only difference is that there is a “square “ of the garage with no building on top. Hope it make it clearer =)

Hi! Using Home designer pro I have created a garage with a smaller house on top. At the backend there is a staircase down to the garage. So far everything is OK and I have made my application to get build permit. But in case I need to modify my application and reduce the size of the smalller house slightly, I am trying to modify the design as below, but the roofs behave so strange and I do not manage to get it right. Any ideas?
