Thanks. I worked with it for hours and have come up with an acceptable look. Not exactly what I needed but it works lol I will try your elevation region idea and see if that works out. Thank you so much.

Thanks; I've been fooling with it now for hours and I think I've finally got it to where it's acceptable. It isn't exact, but at least now I can place driveway and flower beds, and sidewalks.

I have been trying all day to create an elevation in my terrain, and have tried everything. The image shows the red line where I need the terrain to slop up to the second level of the house. I have tried terrain elevation lines and all I get are too many slops throughout the whole damn terrain! Please, can someone PLEASE help me to create a simple slope where the back of the terrain stays the same? Thanks in advance. mmaster.mat

Greetings, all; I am wondering if Chief Architect will ever have a "DREAM HOME" contest. If they do, I would LOVE submitting my design that I've worked on for over three years. Once I win the lottery, I will build this home. I call it: CHAERONEA Let me know what y'all think. Jay

Thank you for responding. I did try to create the room first, but when I selected "Deck" as the room specification, the rafters disappeared from the 3D view. When I select "Favmily" for the room spec, it gives me normal foundations and the wrong joist structure. Even when I changed the "Family" room walls to Railing, the foundation wasn't changed. I even tried to copy the rafters from the room I had created to the roof planes of the Deck, but PRO 2025 will not allow the paste to the roof plains. But, all is good, I worked it all out and have been approved by the planning commission to build the structure. Again, thanks for responding.

Thanks in advance for any replies. I am running Home Designer PRO 2025 on an IBM ASUS laptop. I am trying to create rafters as seen in the attached image. I am not using a room or room specs. I have created the posts, joists, roof planes and connecting ties to posts. I want to create general framing rafters but I cannot rotate them to be on an angle like in a generally created room. In designing homes, I can rotate items either horizontally or vertically, but general framing doesn't have the ability to rotate up or down just right or left. I do not need to create a room as this is a submission to county inspectors for approval of the Gazebo on the property. Thanks again for any replies. Jay Webb
