meanwhile

I hear you leaving a rude comment, but your description of my questions do not offer me anything to learn how to better explain this. I've provided as much info and photos that I possibly could think would be relevant to figuring out how to solve the latest problem, which I'll reiterate again: how to raise the outer roof on just one section of the building (without causing strange ceiling and roof glitches), when the interior and exterior ceilings of the same wall are somehow different heights in real life. Or if it's too complicated for a simple solution provided on a forum, that's why I asked about a potential alternative way to get help. I didn't see any clear information about that from the support resources. Why not just tell me the information I'm leaving out to be able to answer my question instead of leaving a rude comment? I'm not trying to attack you back, I mean that frankly: there's enough negative energy in the world already, and there are more productive ways of communicating online.

Banging my head against a wall over here with this building structure. Now I'm having this problem with a weird gap where the vaulted ceiling doesn't meet the upper wall. This doesn't seem to be a very active forum – is there another place I can get some hands on help with this model?

D'oh, ceiling plane added, thank you. Yeah, #3 is a weird one. This was formerly a little home theater – I believe the roof was built that way to accommodate a marquee display. I've been going at this for days now trying to figure it out, and I nearly have it. I think I actually do have it according to the architectural drawings, but they're not fully accurate – I just need to figure out how to raise up the northwest side / half of the building by several inches. It's weird, because the inside walls on the first floor there are 8' 4" high, but right outside on the other side, it reaches 9' where the hip of the gable starts. Can anyone help me?

@y-g-m-nThat's really awesome, thanks! I threw it into the model, hopefully it will convince them. If it doesn't, I'm still curious how one might model in the existing framing and some storage within that. I'm also curious about modeling in a flip-up seat for top-down storage. Seems like there might not be tools for this, but I wonder if I'm just missing them?

Hello! I'm trying to model out the ceilings and roof of this building, but I'm a bit stumped on a few things. I think there are three problems I'm trying to solve: The attic saltbox roof (see Section B and North Elevation) – I've read this guide, but it doesn't seem to explain the wall-less side of the room (where the floor and roof converge). And when I try to change the opposite wall to a knee wall type, HD throws an error/warning. The vaulted living room ceiling (Section A) – it's not as simple as unchecking Flat Ceiling Over this Room, because there is a flat section, just further up. I can't quite figure out how to create that. The small corner overhang / roof extension that you can see in the West elevation and Top view. Any help with even one of these would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks so much. A custom cabinet was definitely the initial idea, but we're building on a budget, so we decided to just frame it to save and still add some really basic storage. That being said, visualizing an alternative might convince the owners to do a proper cabinet. I might give that a try, but if you wanted to for kicks, well no pressure of course, but by all means! I don't really know what I'm doing.

We're working on a build with a long, low, framed ledge beneath a couple of windows with some kind of integrated storage – currently trying to figure out how the storage will work. We opted to just frame it instead of doing full cabinetry to save money. We might just put drywall on top and figure out some kind of drawer fronts for each section of the framing. I'd love to model this out in Home Designer. The Cabinet tools seem to get me somewhat close, but it seems like I might be using the wrong tool for the job. Would anyone be able to guide me on this? Getting it to wrap around the very small divider wall on the far right is especially tricky. Thanks!
