Depending on which version you have, you most likely can't. That was something that was changed, possibly in error, over the last couple of editions. It's one of those things that is irritating, yet will require a programming fix rather than a user fix. That is my opinion on it. Hopefully that is something on their fix list for the 2022 versions.

Try the core catalogs under millwork>columns>stacked. You might find one there that will work, maybe the "stacked round?"

Look in the "Bonus Catalogs" which are available for purchase under Library>Get additional Content online" for porch millwork. They may be in other places too, such as columns

You may be able to adjust it in a section view. Find the high spot, highlight that wall and then take the edit handle and drag it down until it's even with the floor where you want it to be.

I am using Pro 21 and discovered a way to create a label. Go to your window and under "label" go to specify label. Then in the label box, enter %width%x%height%SH (the SH is for single hung, though you could change it for the type of window it is. It should display as 36"x60"SH. Hopefully it will work in your version

As each camera view type has items that can be turned on or off, check to see if exterior furniture or fixtures is turned on for that view.

Yes, very simple. Create a new wall type that has the siding you want. Then change just the gable walls to the new wall type in plan view on your attic level. As a side note, since it's a gable wall, you may not want the drywall on the inside, so delete that as well while you're creating the new wall. Then when you draw your section view, it will show studding and not drywall inside.

If you look at it closer, you'll see a gap in framing over your bay window. What you will need for an engineer to review it is the roof framing materials (rafter materials, ridge material, collar ties, etc.) called out on a roof framing plan.A 3D picture of "sticks" will honestly do nothing for them. They need to know the spans, etc., which this doesn't show. If you are going to be using roof trusses, the truss manufacturer will have their engineers calculate and design the truss layout and specs so it WILL support the roof. Plus they can often supply the stamped engineering that the building inspectors will want to show the structure is sound.

Open the terrain building option box, look for terrain hole and draw that around the 1st floor walls, except where the cantilever is. Line it up to the outside of the foundation walls. Then go to the terrain and uncheck "hide terrain intersected by building." You'll want to have auto-build terrain on. It's one of those things in the program that makes no sense, yet that is the way I use to fix it. It will happen with most any projection except decks.

You can also check your preferences to find out how many lights you have allowed to be on. What I found with this version of Pro also is that sometimes you need to go in and check the materials info for each light to make sure it is the correct material to show the light. Even just clicking the light material to check, even if it is correct, will somehow make it turn on.

Maybe take a geometric shape like a closed box, make it small, set the material to the light you want, then place it at the right spot in the fixture?

Ok, then it's the same process.

Depending on what Architectural can do, it may work to create a separate room for the slanted section using room dividers and change the material to what you want for the ceiling. When you get to the flat section, a custom shape or soffit of the color needed could be placed just below the ceiling to emulate the look you want..

It probably depends on what wall type and material you used.

Might be able to draw it as a roof plane and use skylights to get the glass you want and move the framing out of the way? Just a thought, haven't tried it.

There are bonus catalogs for 3D trees and shrubs for purchase that should help.

Did you look at the bonus downloadable catalogs?

HD Pro 2021 offers some customizable rails where you can adjust thickness and width. Nothing with a radius though. I can't remember if that was available in 2020 or not. Might be an upgrade that could work for you. Like Jo_Ann said, download the trial and see if that's different.

Did you rebuild the roof?

I don't think 24x36 D size paper printing ability showed up until HD Pro 2021

Use a rectangular poly line and make the "fill style" stone or gravel. You can adjust the size of it through the setting tab.

There are some fire wood piles in some of the bonus catalog if you haven't checked there yet?

I will go the deck framing plan, transform/replicate the rim joists the thickness they are. Then edit them to keep the height the same, change the thickness to 3/4" or 1/2", then close the gap between the new joists and the framing. Then you can transform/replicate on the "Z" axis, adjust the thickness again if you wish. Then make that item a lattice. From a side elevation, you can adjust that piece to the height you need. Depending on what catalogs you have, there is a diagonal lattice that works pretty good. Just adjust the material and texture properties down to a size opening you want. Then you can even paint the material white or whatever color you want it to be.

Did you search the bonus catalogs? Go to Library>Get Additional Content Online and look there. Some will need to be purchased, yet there are quite a few catalogs to view and download. Maybe something there will work for you, or at least be representative of the fixtures you're looking for.

Depending on what type of work you do, you may want to look at upgrading to Pro before you get too many master created. If you design with complicated roofs, want the ability to change floor framing materials defaults, use arched windows, etc., you'll find it's worth it in the long run with the added flexibility of design.
