  1. Probably because you have "rounded value indicators" turned on. The check box tells you what you'll see
  2. If you try it as 3 separate ones. Like an inverted bay window roof
  3. I have never tried it, yet could it be done with roof planes with a very low baseline and thin structure?

    Truss view missing

    Did you turn on roof trusses to be visible in those camera views?
  5. If you look at the top of that article, you will see where it applies to legacy products of Pro & Architectural, not Suite.

    Help with Roof!

    If you click one of the roof planes, look along the bottom tool bar towards the right side. Unless you have your tool bar set other than default. Or just search under "Roof."

    Help with Roof!

    There's a tool that looks like 2 triangles at an angle that is the roof connector. You click on the 1st roof, then the one you want to join it with. Plus make sure the break in the edges is the same distance from the ridge. Likely more of an explanation in the reference manual. Should update your signature now that you're using Home Designer 2027 too
  8. Try going up a floor? I'd be more worried about that roof to the left of that over the deck.
  9. If they show up in the floor plan view, you should be able to delete each plane. I don't know what Suite will let you make for changes
  10. I do, yet they don't allow transfers anymore. I don't think that catalog will work with anything before 2023.
  11. For sail shades, they are in the bonus catalogs: Exteriors and Landscaping>Exterior Sail Shades However, they weren't available until 2023, so you likely won't be able to access them with Suite 2019. You can read what the new version Home Designer 2027 will cost you to upgrade. It's a subscription model, so Suite, Architectural, & Pro are all one program now.
  12. I don't know if Chief Architect gets a chance to look at Home Designer very often anymore. If you look at the Chief Architect forum comments, and with what some of the users there whine about, it's a miracle that they get any updates done. I really think some of those users are waiting for when the program will be able to make their breakfast!
  13. Plus a wider sill plate helps with allowable spans of the joists. Sometimes even a 2x8 sill on a 10" poured foundation wall can help with framing joist spans determination

    Deck defaults

    Your image shows just the framing material. If you want the decking to be Azek, you go the "materials" section, and set it there. Also in the structure tab
  15. Yes. Put a room divider going diagonally at the corner. Then check the defaults to make sure your joists are going from the house out. The decking will be perpendicular to the joists.
