I’m not sure how much help a picture from the front will be….

Keith’s suggestion worked. There are plenty of other roof parts that still need tinkering after I get the main room to be a room again but I’ll tinker at it on my own unless/until I get stuck again. I know I’m going to need help figuring out how to put roof over no walls but I’ll start a new thread for that.

I just drew a new wall over it. Now I need to figure out how to make the main part of my first floor a room again. I’m getting there. Thank you for your help. Much appreciated!

I've gotten pretty close to getting the 2nd floor edited back together after turning off object snaps and moving the section that didn't rotate one way and then another. I had to delete the (I guess now west) wall of the bedroom for it to let me slide the rooms into the right spot but now I get a warning if I try to pull the auto generated wall to replace the deleted wall.

Keith, thank you! I could swear that there was a pre-existing break in that wall and I had tried that before but.... I copied the plan file without closing or saving the open version I had been experimenting on most recently. When I opened that plan that whole north wall on the 1st floor was one wall. I inserted a break in it, just guestimating about where, set it to hip and it worked. It still shows auto generated walls over the garage on the 2nd floor plan. That's not right, right?

Keith, with the roof over this room turned off on the garage room this is what happens

It was 2019ish when I did the layout. I've forgotten a lot. It looks like it may be impossible to rotate everything into the requested orientation in one shot with the version of software I have. I have area edit. I do not have area edit all floors. Whether I use area edit or drag a selection box around everything while viewing the 1st floor it rotates the imported survey and 1st floor plan only. The 2nd floor auto generates some walls over the 1st floor in its new location but most of the 2nd floor, presumably anchored by what I had to draw manually stays put. It's been a long time since I did the 2nd floor layout but I think I vaguely recall putting a lot of effort into getting the curved staircase wall correct.

Hello, I was in the process of editing the original post with the software version as you were posting. I'm using HomeDesigner Suite 2019. I bought the software back then to design a kitchen remodel. I did the floor layout then but didn't bother with fixing the roofs. Now I'm designing a garage along the north property line. The new garage will have a hip roof. I'm going to fill the space between the north wall of the house and the new garage with a concrete pad covered probably by scissor trusses on columns for boat parking with roof coming off the north side of that to the angled wall on the new garage and roof coming off the side nearest the house over to the side entry door on the house. I need to get the roofs right on the house before I get into figuring out how to do the roofs on the pole barn/boat bar/car port/covered walkway section.

and here are the 1st floor walls

Here are the walls

I've created the layout of my existing home on top of the survey and now I'm trying to build the roof as it exists. The footprint of the 2nd floor is smaller than the 1st floor and I'm having some problems getting it build the gable roof over the 1st floor garage. It wants to attach to the 2nd floor roof. How do I do this? I'm using HomeDesigner Suite 2019 A picture of the actual house is attached. A picture of how it came out with the original auto generated walls on the 2nd floor is attached. And a picture of how it came out after I deleted the auto generated walls on the 2nd floor is attached.
