In the stair section, you have landings. You can drag the corners to change the shape of them, if Suite lets you. If you are looking to do anything out of the ordinary, Suite is not the tool for you. It's very limited. Look at the product comparisons on the HD website.Again, read your reference manual so you can find some of your answers yourself

Depends on if Suite lets you build custom landings? Those will be your solution to that. For a wall underneath, you can do it 2 ways. When you build the stairs, uncheck "open underneath". Or you can draw walls under them if you want full width ones. Just make sure your trim board sticks out past the drywall so it will be underneath. Maybe some time with the reference manual will also help answer your questions too

Not a lot of people will open an attachment from someone very new to the forum. Jo_Ann is asking to see your plan, not someone else's. I know Suite is very limited in what it can do. Ideally for this detailed of a house, HD Pro may suit your needs better. Or maybe take up the offers from the responses you got on Chieftalk and be done with this. The pictures you have posted there looks like you have the dormer issue solved?

Maybe try adjusting the height on the last section and add it to the run, and not include it?

Create a master plan that you start all of your projects with. Put that wall type into it, and then it will always be available to you when you save the master. Then when you start a new plan, just "Save As' with the name of your choosing, and your master will stay.I also color code the wall framing of each type so it's easier to find each different wall type on a plan for your section details. It's always helpful if you fill out your signature so people know what version and year program you are using. Not every feature is available in each version.

I just drew this in HD Pro 2025, and the baseboard shows up just fine. I did it with an opening, no casing, no jamb.

Have you looked at the bonus catalogs for the Nanawall door systems? Not sure if they have an option that might work for your application.

Can't really tell what's what from your picture, yet maybe read about "shelf ceilings?" Also, please update your profile signature so it shows Pro 24 at the bottom as well.

If those symbols are on a PDF or something, you can import the PDF to your .plan file on the page(s) you need, and trim it to show just the symbol section of the page.

Should update your signature if you are now using HD Pro 2025. Have you tried anything yet? Maybe build the house 1st floor with auto-foundation on? Then turn it off and build the room that connects the 2 areas with no foundation? What would you do after that?

You can send multiple plans to a single layout sheet, depending on the size sheet you use.

Draw an as is plan, then copy it and make a proposed plan. Walls being removed can just be made invisible. Depending on how big an area it is, they both might fit on one sheet. Delete the as built window on the as is plan and make it a door on the proposed. It's not a difficult process.

I have a bunch of different wall types saved in my master file that I start all of my plans with. Just pick a wall type, copy it, rename it, and change the fill type of the framing to identify each type. For closed openings, I'll draw a CAD block and trace the opening, delete what was there, and use the angle hatch fill style

Did you check the bonus catalogs?

Manually draw the roofs with the fascia's at the same heights. Going by your picture, your ridges are 2 different heights. Change the pitch for each roof.

Manual roofs - check "roof above this room", and uncheck "flat ceiling over this room" for the 2 rooms. You'll probably need to draw a wall in the attic where the 2 roofs intersect under the higher roof.

If Architectural allows you to create floor trusses

One way to do it would be to draw the entire driveway area. Then use the break tool to create sections that can be changed as needed. Then you use the line/arch function to create the curves. Once that's done, to make the circle, you can use a "circle about center" CAD object. Put it where you want it, Then go to the "convert selected object" tool to make it a terrain object. You may need to make it just 1/16" thicker than the driveway so it shows. Change the material lo your terrain type, and that should do it. Also, please fill out your signature so we always know which version and year of the program you are using.

Exterior walls go on the exteriors and interior go on the interior. Create an interior wall type of block and try that. Make sure that the wall is set to define rooms. Can always try reading the help or reference manual as well. Please try shortening the title of your post too. No one wants to read a novel.

I didn't download the plan, yet a simple way to do it is to send the plan to the layout sheet, then manually drag in the edges of the view to get it to fit. There are no "lightning bolt" break lines, yet you can draw them in with CAD lines as you wish. Might want to save the plan under a different name before you draw them on, so they'll be on a separate plan and you won't have to draw them again.

Did you see the reply I posted to your original inquiry under tips and techniques?

Which program and year are you using? It is helpful to everyone for you to complete your signature. Is the structure a slab on grade, or have wood joists? Your 1st floor should be at elevation "0". From there you you can lower the door bottom in the door drop down edit box. Without having the plan to view, it's guessing. It's better to set items from the plan view so they will stay when you rebuild floors, etc. Also, please post future questions in the "Q&A" section. More people will see it there. Tips and Techniques is where you post things you've learned,

You could do this a couple of ways. Make the carport a patio with a roof and ceiling above. Make the 2 parallel railings invisible and the end one post to beam. No railings, just posts. Change the size of the posts and beam to what you need. Make the ceiling height the same as the house so the roof extends at the same height

What year and version of home designer are you using?

Maybe you should post this in the "Technical Support" section?
