I have no clue as to how that happened. I will follow your above suggestions; pulling the baseline to the wall framing layer. Thank you for your help!

Yes, that's it. Thank you!

Hers' a jpeg Jo_Ann. Garybills: Yes, I drew roof planes manually, auto roofs produced strange designs. How do I adjust manual roof planes to same elevation? You can see on the framing perspective jpeg, manual roof planes has added top plate framing on the front elevation. Thank you for looking at this!

Hello; So, as a carpenter, I can hand cut stacked hip roof rafters; but I can't draw a simple gable roof here. Help! The rear half of the main gable roof is OK, but the front half is raised up about a foot, can't figure it out. Wall plate heights should be the same all the way around. This seems to screw up the front garage roof too. Greatly appreciate any help. Thanks, Geoff Floor Plan Deck-Porch Roofs 10-5-25.zip

Thank you for your answer and time!

Finally figured this out. Unchecked "Fnd Wall" button.

Hello; Default settings are file specific. If you save a file, then open it and "save as ..." do the default settings save with the new save as file, or do the default setting revert to the original program default settings? Thank you.

Hello; I seem to have an extra concrete floor slab at both my main wood frame floor and garage floors. You can see it in the attached screen shot, and drawing file. Stumped! Thanks, Ext Walls w Garages w Auto Fnd Off Floor Plan CompleteBuild Man Roof 10-4-25.plan

Yes, 2023 does auto build trusses. Program built some, but others remain rafters. I'll delete the roofs and use manual build. Thank you very much for your time!

Hello; Walkout Basement Rambler, with all truss 4/12 roof with some overframe garage roof gables. I have set wall/ceiling elevations, all are correct; yet some walls on front of home are extending to meet trusses which should sit on the top plate. One of of the garages (left one), I keep getting 9 1/4" rafters showing, despite hitting the truss selection button in several different windows. Garage wall top plate elevations are correct. ( Ignore front gable roof on right garage it is incorrect, but I have some wall changes to do there, so I'll correct roof then) What I missing with trusses and wall heights?

Ah yes, on the foundation wall tab. Got it! Thank you both for responding!

Hello; Question - How do I add a material layer in the "Floor Structure Definition" window? I select a room in the drawing, go to "Room Specification" tab, then select "Structure" and select "Floor Structure" and select Edit; I get the "Floor Structure Definition" window. How do I edit the floor structure? I want to add a 2x plate below the joist (sits on top of foundation wall).

Answering this from a construction perspective: No it does not make sense to run rafter perpendicular to the existing. Running rafters this way, you will have to beef up the existing rafter to carry the load of the new perpendicular rafters, and also need to post under the new barge to carry the new rafters. You would also need a collar tie, and a structural engineer to figure this out. I would run rafters parallel and either have a different pitch on the side that bumps out 6', or run an eyebrow roof off the new main roof to cover the bump out.

Most standard/production type vinyl windows are actually slightly smaller than their stated size, so the rough opening is the window size. A 5/0 x 4/0 window (5'w x 4'h); would have a 5' x 4' RO. However, not all windows fit this. Some RO's are 1" over stated window size. As solver stated, check with your window manufacturer.
