Maybe try creating the tread in the direction the grain runs w/the material. Once it's set, rotate the item 90 degrees and maybe the grain will stay with it? Justa thought, haven't tried it & working on a project right now. Good luck!

Hi, Yes, they have added "L" and "U" shaped stairs to the basic functions. A few new options in the defaults too. It would be great if at some point they would add 2 and 3 wide double hung combinations. Centering the mull all the time gets to be a pain in the rear end. I did do a deck & tried the Azek railing. The result wasn't ideal, so I used the default program deck parts & changed the color to white for all of the items. Seemed to keep the structure easier to build. Haven't done anything with the moldings yet though. Good luck!

Very cool. Thank you.

The porch is on the ground level with the roof starting from under the windows. They want an enclosed vestibule where the front door is. If that was done w/a porch too, then I can go from there. Thank you for the help!

Jo_Ann, That's very nice, thank you. They also want a screened porch to the left side of the house to fit under the windows. How did you do what you did?

Nice, thank you. The trick to this whole thing is that they want to put a porch/patio in the front of the house. There just isn't much room to get a roof to fit under the upper level windows & have any headroom inside. Been a bugger trying to get something to work. Plus they wanted a vestibule area to enclose the front door area.

Excellent. Thank you!

Hi, Attached is the plan. The overhang needs to extend 74" to the left over the door. It is 20" above the door at the bottom. Thank you for the help. PC-JDunn-roof over entry.plan

Ok. Yet how do I get the room to break that way. The roof is good, other than once I can get the bump out over it, I can draw it to match. I had thought of a separate room for that area, with a raised floor or something to form the "cube?"

Hi all, I am looking for help in getting the overhang of the roof to go over the door as shown below. I need to keep the ridge centered as is & wasn't sure of the best way to achieve this? Thank you for any help.

For the Automatic Exterior dimensions, change "locate objects" on windows & doors to "center". You can also eliminate things you don't want to have included. For interior, I have found manual dimension to be the best way to keep the plan cleaner. Hope this helps a little

Depending on what software you have, use "pony wall."

Eric, Thank you for all of the help. Worked like a charm.

It looks like it could work. Only problem is every time I try to open the plan in 2015, it says it was written by a newer version. When I try to open 2016, it says program is already running. How can I get into this plan to work on it? I am a bit lost, to say the least.

yes, because I need to be able to put a gable over that area as shown in the original pictire, which I can't do with a box bay.

Here is what I get when I add a room divider & raise the floor up so it forms a separate room so I can make it a gable wall.

Hi, I am trying to recreate the bump out window on the left side of the plan. I have tried using room dividers & raising the floor up. That just leaves an open gap under the window. Any help is appreciated. I will need to put a gable over this section as well Thank you. PZ-59 Winter.plan

Thank you all. Will give it a try. I appreciate the help very much.

Thank you. I have been trying w/the sloped soffits & I can't seem to get it to make sense. I tried to understand the reference manual to no avail.

Let me see if this camera view helps.

I need to get a second layer of rake trim below the existing one. It will be the 8" which automatically forms when you build the roof & trim. I need a secondary set of trim beneath that in a 6" for a total of 14" rake trim. .I hope that explains it better?

Hi all, I can't seem to be able to figure out how to get a soffit angled to fit under the 2 peaks on the right front of the attached image. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am thinking you could make it as a bifold door 12' wide x 8' tall & change the panels to glass. It will show 2 doors stacking to each side. Change the door thickness to 1-3/4".

Maybe try the "cross section/elevation" camera & put it to the rear of the cabinet facing toward the front?

I think the soffit may work. I tried yesterday real quick. It's basically just needing a piece of 1x trim to go along the back wall at the same angle as the front. The roof on the back is the full length of the garage, so there is no protrusion through the roof.Thank you for the replies.
