One of the things that happened in Pro 21 is that the terrain will not build under items that overhang the ground. Such as bump out fireplaces, bay windows, etc. What you do in those cases is go to Terrain>Terrain hole and draw a hole around the 1st floor area that you don't want grass in. Just draw it to the foundation line, not the framing. Then uncheck" hide terrain intersected by building" and that will get the grade to hit your foundation. It may not be the fix for this situation, yet probably something to keep in mind as you do more plans.

Change the material to fir framing, check the materials to make sure it's fir framing. Then back out of the view, then go back in

Copy the wall to a new one and delete the 2 layers of drywall

The part that makes me nervous is the last sentence that says "see if." Sounds like the potential exists to possibly wreak havoc with the other features. Think I'll live with the offset footing until it gets fixed down the road.

Yeah, it's been that way from the time I upgraded. I use a default 20 x 12 footing in my plans and haven't gone to a 10". Don't know if that is centered, though one would think it would use the same "formula" as when you change the size of a window which keeps the center.

David, Pro 2021 has the foundation footing off center by default. It is not a setting that us users can change. All we can change is the width and depth.

You can click on the object using "transform/replicate" to move it along the x or y axis. Type in the fractional distance you want it to go.

It looks like a small enough plan to maybe start over. Without knowing what it's supposed to look like, it's hard to accurately provide a solution. I am wondering if the walls on floor 1 are supposed to be concrete, or did you use a foundation wall to build them? If so, that could be why the beam is mixed in with the floor joists.

Take the beams you have drawn, copy them, then go to floor 0 and paste-hold position and see if that helps? You can always use your perspective-framing overview and see how they are shown and their location

I see that and am looking at it. The beams holding up the 1st floor would be drawn on the basement (floor 0) level and the 2nd floor beams on the 1st floor (floor 1)

check the setting of the beam as to if they are set to be below joists or with joists.

Go to your framing default settings, select beam, adjust the size to what you need the steel beam to be, and select the item to be Steel-I.

In Pro you can use manual roofs. I don't believe that is available in architectural.

Or you can go to Library>Fixtures and Appliances>Stanisci Design and download that catalog for free. There may be a range hood there that suits what you are looking for.

Spend some time going through the reference manual about setting floor and ceiling heights.

Try opening the stairwell and changing the square footage to be included in the total. By default it isn't because it's not livable space. All of the rooms can be adjusted like that as needed.

Maybe uncheck opening indicators?

If Suite has pony walls, read up on them and you'll be good to go.

There's also a bonus catalogue in the M.E.P. section with downspouts, elbows, etc. Don't know if that will help.

Another option for you may be the Azek sill profiles? They have a historic sill and a subsill. Both have a little angle to them and may represent the look you want?

Sometimes it helps to check the materials for the lights that aren't working. Even just refreshing one can get them all to work.

With Pro 2021, you can do a search in the library by searching for vertical blinds. I do not know if Architectural has it.

Or do you mean you need to make changes to the plan you imported and create a drawing in Home Designer Architectural?

When you open your terrain settings, read how it says "Subfloor height above terrain." What I think you've done is by setting it to -42 you have actually raised it up 42" from the floor, which is where the hill is coming into being

There is also a bonus catalog available for purchase that has some items similar as well.
