Thanks for all of that. I still do not know why my roof is way too high. I will keep on tweaking until if figure it out. I appreciate the other tips too. Thanks

I did 60" and the soffit covered the windows. I changed to 72" and the plate height looks good but I have no idea why. Here is what I get when I make that change. Not quite the same as you. Changing the pitch has no effect. Any ideas on what is happening?

here is a screen shot of the plan, elevation and the wall specification screen

I am trying to do an addition to a house with a mansard roof. I don't know all of the numbers, but I should be able to get close. The plan looks good in plan view, but the elevation is all screwed up. Here is what I am trying to match Overhang is 48" Truss height is 57" from the top to bottom chord I do not know the pitch, but from the photo attached the top is about 12" in from the face of the building. The T-111 has a 12" pattern and you can see it below. The plate height of the interior walls is 96" I don't know why the elevations look the way that they do. I attached the plan and a photo of the house. I am using Home Designer Pro 2021 Tucker 2.0.plan

That did it, thanks

No matter what I do I cant get door sizes to show up as a label. Tried automatic and specify. Is there a setting I am missing? Heiselman Plan 2.0.plan

I am designing a garage with an apartment on top of it. One the second floor I noticed the total square footage shown was less than the first floor total. I did a poly line to check and it is obvious that the software is not including the stairs on the second floor living space total. Is that a software issue, or is there a checkbox somewhere that I missed? I uploaded my file if anyone wants to look Carson Garage.plan

That did it, thanks

Here is my file. I have been working on other things since I posted, but I added a new interior wall. Walter Bonus Plan 2.0.plan

Is there a selection or box to check to make sure that when an interior wall ends that it is covered in drywall? It is shown on the floor plan as well as the elevation as having only exposed wood.

Found it, thanks

Where do you see that? I looked all through the railing specification and don't see anything.

Well you convinced me to upgrade. Especially because I can use 24x36 paper too. Thanks

I am a builder that does additions to existing houses. We primarily build with masonry construction. Many of my projects have lanais that are also built out of masonry. I could use some help on how to do a few things. 1. How can i make my posts show up on my floor plan. Sometimes we fill in between the columns and I would like to show where the new and existing are. I use railings to create the space and the columns can be 8x8, 8x16, 12x12 or 16x16. 2. Is it possible to create a masonry column in HDP? 3. In the railings dialogue I can change the size of the newel to look like a masonry column. However the beam above is still a 2-2x12 beam. ours are typically 8x16 and sit directly on top of the column. I put my most recent plan file in this post. Remember - I am a builder and hand these off to my draftsman. I am not worried about small flaws. It is good enough for my clients to figure out. Roarty 2.0 Test.plan
