You might try eliminating the interior sill to keep the casing, then use a soffit to make a sill. Then you can make that the walnut color. It's a thought anyway

Turn off "flat ceiling over this room" in the room defaults drop down box. Can always look at the reference manual for other solutions to different things.

Whenever I have to draw a "room only" plan, I'll always draw an exterior perimeter, then draw the interior walls as needed. It helps keep the doors, etc. The correct type, ie interior. It should help with the roof.

Did you rebuild it?

Try not checking soffit surface for ceiling. The material you select for the ceiling will follow the rafters.

I wasn't sure if you had a 2nd floor on the building. That text box y-g-m-n shows is in your "framing" box in the defaults settings tab.

Try setting your ceiling default to 16". You show the dimension, yet it's not checked as "default". It's a guess without seeing any more of the plan.

You don't need to look at YouTube. It's right in the reference manual and very simple. Or search help or knowledge based articles.

Since you have Pro, you can do the roof on the first pass as "auto build roof." Then turn that off, go to the lower roof, and adjust the pitch to what you want it to be. Or you can draw them both with manual roof planes since it's a very simple structure. Please update your signature so everyone knows what version and year of the program you are using. The reference manual and "help" tab are also good places to look, so you aren't waiting for people to respond.

When you see that error, it's likely that the material has been discontinued. Best to replace it with something that is in your current library.

Try room defaults or check the reference manual too

Yes. Look at the default settings under dimensions

Uncheck "ceiling over room"

I have a master plan that I start my jobs from too. Just take a layout, make your changes, then save as a name that's easy, like 18x24 master, or 24x36 master. Then when you open it for a job, save it as the job and get rid of the ".plan" suffix so it becomes a layout for that job. Then when you make your changes, it saves as a layout for that job, and your master stays intact for the next one

I've taken the 18x24 default layout sheet, set up a master layout with the information I want, saved it, then created a 24x36 master layout sheet from it. Then I can use it whenever I want. I don't mess with the title block. I just take the border, bring it to the edges of the larger paper, then slide the block to the right edge. It's large enough, I think, for all of the information needed. I have it saved in a file and just pull it from there for each job. Plus, I have a bunch already "made up" for the clients I work with the most. Often they like having their business logo on the paper in the space at the bottom right corner between the block and bottom of sheet as well.

Which version of the software are you using? Filling out your signature will let people help easier when we know what version and year of the software you're using. Questions should be posted in the "Q&A" section so more people will see them. Tips and Techniques is where you post things you have learned that may help others. If your project doesn't have a ceiling, delete it in the structure tab. Then the roof framing will act as your ceiling framing also. As a side note, your stairs look way off, so those setting may need to be reviewed as well. Turning of the framing is done in the "display options" tab. You can select what items to show in each camera view. It would benefit you greatly to spend some time reviewing the reference manual or help tab available on each page.

As was mentioned to you in the Chief talk forum, mouldings are specified in the room, not the wall. Your image is of a wall.

I have a license for HD Pro 2021 that I am willing to sell for a heavily discounted price. It's not for hundreds more, so it may make sense to him. There are probably a lot of other things that will be coming up for this project where an upgrade may help him. It's no skin off my nose whether he upgrades or not. Would be nice if he could do everything in Suite, yet I don't see it happening. I don't download plans other people post, so I don't know what else is off. Maybe with some practice of specific issues on a less complicated plan would be a place to start for learning how the program works instead of trying to tackle everything at once?

Please upgrade to Pro so you can do manual roofs, and so much more! Try going to the HD website, and see what it will cost to upgrade from your version of suite to the newest Pro version. It may only be $100 or so. If it's a lot, I have a key for HD Pro 2021 that I have been trying to sell since people I bought it for never panned out as far as helping me with my design work.

It's a post in the general framing, if suite has that?! If not, upgrade to Pro or something, as this project seems to be outside of the simple things Suite can do and you're just going to frustrate yourself. Did you look for shapes? Go the library browser and search for "Closed."

I don't know if Suite has "shapes"? If it does, you can use a closed block and make it whatever size you need. I don't know if shapes will go to materials list. Maybe under you general framing DBX, you can select "post"? Make it the size you want, and the materials you want. If you want it to look like it has rebar in it, go back to shapes, or CAD circles, and make a diameter one the size you think the rebar would be. You can then place those on the top of the post so it "looks" like rebar in the post. Please, spend some time going through your reference manual, or the help menu available on each screen.

If you didn't save your plan, check your archive folder, as the program will auto save projects at certain time intervals. It should have something there.

It's ok. Spend some time reading the reference manual for more help

They're most likely gable walls, which are correct

Change the side garage wall from a gable to a hip roof default
