I dont think I have file size limitations in my forum, go ahead and post it there and I can check it out and ill post the answer back here. click on the image in my signature

would be a great idea to attach your .plan file as well

for those that dont want to download the zip. These are the contained images:

Redoing the roof structure for an open ceiling is a significant expense that adds no value to the home. I would consider hiring a designer who can help you create the effect of a larger-looking space. From a financial advisory standpoint, this is when I would suggest selling the home and buying one that already has an open ceiling (without knowing all the details about the current home). Alternatively, design around the deck, create an atrium, and extend out (if the lot supports it) to have your new addition include an open ceiling.

If you really get used to them they are faster than just drawing with walls

Mirror reflection not showing in HDP 2025 Physical Based Rendering
Renerabbitt replied to Savuti's topic in Q&A
report it, its a glitch with the materil. In the meantime, use the colored mirror and change the color -
To clarify, label offset values are not available in the home designer line. So if you had an offset label previously, then you may have received a template plan that was built using the Chief Architect Interiors or Premiere Line which has the ability to store label offsets. You could revert back to using your old plan templates then. for example, this is the OOTB Home Designer 2024 Residential Template with label offsets established in the Premiere product line. Profile-Modified With Label Offset.plan
-
Were you working with someone that had the premiere line? Label offsets are not available in the dialog for windows in Home Designer. You can grab the small label edit handle and manually drag them for an offset

Are you certain that your existing roof structure is a truss system? If so I don't see any economical options so I would probably go with a different design approach. If you were hell bent on an open ceiling then you'd have to terminate the truss at your hall and throw in some post and girders under floor to pick up the load and then you could rebuild the second half. Expensive though. Not the right detail but to illustrate:
-
Hit the gear icon and turn on additional panels: BTW this is the Tips & Techniques Forum
-
You guys actually picked up a ton of new features from the premiere line that are big productivity tools. As stated earlier, easy to export as dae and get raytrace rendering in twinmotion which is free. See new features: https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/whats-new/#whats-new-summary
-
I think raytracing is always going to remain in the premiere line. You can always export your model and raytrace in Twinmotion
-
put this in your wall: then in your wall label: and then turn on the layer for wall labels in your plan view
-
you must be using the same camera, instead, duplicate the camera and annotate that view
-
thats pretty typical with cross platform design, thats why many of us either learn and hold licenses in many softwares or become very proficient in one so as to recreate it. Ultimately it's beneficial to find an architectural designer that utilizes Chief. You can always pay a technician to build the model for you
-
why not post your .plan file here
-
Do they have roof groups?
-
Turn off auto build roofs and start manually editing your roof planes. Alternatively Chief supports roof groups so the roof on the garage/addition will build independently of the main roof
-
Skp mesh isnt editable in Home Designer so most of us would just redraw the building as it would be quick enough to do for a proficient technician. Otherwise you might have to give sketchup a try. What is the scope of your work on this project?>
-
Sorry, I’ll try and be more clear..home designer and chief have an internal symbol mapping that happens within the software separate from a base UV map being applied to a mesh. This is by intent in order to expedite the process of complicated mapping on cabinet doors but when you export, this internal UV remapping is no longer applied and the base UV map is exported. This is expected behavior. You would need someone in the chief premier line make you a custom door symbol if you wanted the stiles and rails independently mapped.
-
how do you intend to achieve this in real-world conditions? If you are not building a step, are you building rake walls?
-
You would need to assign a unique UV, as-in a unique material. DAE format groups components based on UV, so even though chief has some internal function to rotate UV's, the export will not follow the UV orientation based on export. Create a new material to apply to the panels separate from your rails and stiles
-
Are you intending to create a stepped foundation?
-
Why not put a door next to a window?

HERE ARE SOME GENERAL PRICE BREAKDOWNS FOR RENDERINGS DONE OUTSIDE OF CA: Here is a breakdown of LOD(level of detail) ranges from 1-5 1-CA PBR renderings: do not apply 2-Semi-Photorealistic: building only, some entourage, low resolution HDR background image or fog, 720p (not suitable for print media) 3-Photorealistic(camera phone quality): 150 passes with 50% optix denoising, short line of site (distance cut off in background). 1080p resolution(optimized for web pages, suitable for budget print/flyers etc) 4-Photorealistic: 450 passes with 20% optix denoising. 1080p or 2k resolution, post processing in photoshop/lightroom/procreate (suitable for print media). 5-Photorealistic: 500-3000 passes with 20 % optix denoising, 1080p up to 8k resolution. post processing in photoshop/lightroom/procreate. Suitable for large monitor presentations/galleries..can be indiscernible from photography. Setup would be $400 per zone for LOD 3-5($200 for LOD 2), a zone being the front of the house or an open liv rm/din/kitchen, or an attached kitchen/bath, LOD 3 at roughly $100 per image per zone, LOD 4 at $300 per image per zone. LOD 5 I need to quote. Assuming a zone setup fee, a 6 second animation from 1 camera to the next within 1 zone at 30 frames per second on LOD 3 would be $500. I've attached a 3 second animated GIF to give you an example. Higher LOD I would need to quote. a Spherical rendering at 4k+ resolution for VR headsets is two zones-$800 at LOD 4 at 4k-$400 per rendering... obviously if both adjoining zones are already paid for than you are just paying for the image only.
