I think that is a VERY old Home Designer file format. You should contact tech support to ask if there is still a way to open the file.

You need to delete the post in the Techniques category.

y-g-m-n, If you zoom in, on the extremely cluttered floor plan, you will see that each room DOES have a door.

You will need to place and shape individual landing steps.

It would seem that you have deleted your previous posts, so now, no one can see what was posted or replied. You are not likely to get any help, by doing this. Did you watch the video tutorials?

When you open the exterior house door (within HDPro), is it level with the interior floor?

Tips & Techniques category, Is for sharing something you've learned, with others.

Maybe an extended U shape stair?

You need to learn some terminology, when you ask questions. I see NO dormer in the pic posted, only a gabled porch with no ceiling. ALSO, you need to fill out your signature, so that anyone trying to help, will always know which program (AND it's version) you are using.

If you removed everything from the interior of the house (as you said), then the file size should be little more than 3mb. Far below the upload size limit.

You have not filled out your signature, so no-one knows which program (and it's version) you are using.

You should explain more about how your foundation is built.

If you give enough important information, then you will get good answers. If you set your ceiling height to 87", the door and windows will position correctly.

Lowering the floor in HD Architectural resolves the problem. However, HD Pro behaves differently. Turn off auto rebuild roof, and delete the invisible walls. The floor will heal.

Open the invisible room and lower the floor.
