What Eric says is true, however, you need to explain better exactly what you mean by " barrel radius in the gable" (roof, ceiling, doorway?).

I'm not getting the same results as you. Maybe you could try adding a light?

Nope. Not an understandable explanation.

You do not have a definable room on the 2nd floor, and you have really not explained the problem very well.

Have you been downloading 3d objects (Sketchup maybe?).

You have placed a garden object WAYYYY out beyond the south east corner of the terrain perimeter. This will also affect 3d performance.

Just guessing this is what you are trying to do?

You posted all those pics, and yet failed to post the plan file.

??? It does appear that your ceiling is set too low.

If you search the knowledge base for 'farmhouse sink', you will find info on how to install one.

I thought you said that you wanted the roof ridges to align.

On level 0, use 3 half-walls to draw your 'room' (half-walls allow you to manipulate their height). Set them to 8" thick (like foundation walls) and set concrete as their material. Set the room structure as having 'no roof'. On level 1, (terrain perimeter level) draw a 'terrain hole' inside the room. On level 1 or level 0, draw a straight deck edge wall, at the end wall of the stair room, and set it's top floor (C) to be at ground level (this forces the stairs to rise to meet that level). You might want to add a floor thickness to floor (K) and set it's material as concrete (this also creates a landing 'pad'). Draw in the stairs. On level 1, place the cellar door. If you downloaded the bonus catalog for exterior attachments, you will find cellar doors listed under 'bulkheads'.

"can you do me a favor and stop just reply with this message? it gets really annoying. I have already said in my profile that I am using Home Designer Pro. I am on the HomeTalk Forum, the answer shouldn't be that difficult for people who have been using the software for longer than me. "

I have checked my HDA 2018 bonus catalog Holiday 08, and there is NO Christmas tree in there. UNREAL. My HDA 10 bonus catalog has 2 Christmas trees, with & without gifts. Holiday.plan

Awwww... Thanks Keith, you're very welcome. It was FUN!

LawB10, You are assuming too much. The OP did not know that 'roof over this room' needed to be checked (sunroom) to actually have a roof build over that room. When the OP rebuilds the roof, everything is going to go haywire (thus requiring some backward steps), which are not explained. When I said 'eave height', I was referring to the height of the 2nd floor walls where the roof rafters rest on the wall (not the overhang or pitch). Yours is set at about 4', whereas the OP'S is set at about 2'. I could upload a plan, but it would be saved as a HDA2018 plan, which neither Suite2016 nor Suite 2017 could open.

I would do as Solver suggested. There is something amiss with your plan. Start a 'new' plan. Use 'edit area all floors' to copy the entire existing plan. Paste/hold position into the new plan. The interior walls will probably still be invisible. Select the default interior wall from the tool bar, and draw over the existing interior walls. If the 'new' wall is also invisible, then maybe something is amiss with your program, and you will need to re-install/repair the software installation. Copy/paste any plan files and user folders into a new folder, to safe-guard losing them before you try this.

#1. Suite 2016 will not open a plan saved in Suite 2017. #2. LawB10's second floor roof is NOT set at the correct eave height, and there are no steps explaining how to do ANY of it. #3. You have made the mistake most newbies make...you drew in all the interior walls and started decorating BEFORE you had the structure (roof) correct.

You have a lot of back-stepping to do, before you can rebuild this roof. You also have a LOT of things that need fixin'.

Delete the default door and find a narrow picture frame (library), add glass in place of the picture, add knobs, block everything together.

You need to use correct terminology if you expect to get good answers. For example, you refer to the great room as a 'basement', but you have drawn it as floor level1, and a basement (foundation, level 0) is below it. You said you want bedroom1 floor to be 28" higher than the great room, and now you are referring to it as 'flush'??? In your plan, the bedroom is set at 44" higher than the great room (instead of 28") ??? Why is the great room floor D ???

OR...touch it with the 'rainbow' tool, and make it's properties transparent. This will also remove the crown mold if it is the same texture, but you can re-add the same texture back to the crown mold in the room materials tab. The lintel will remain hidden.

Try pulling the railing slightly away from the house wall.

Set both end walls on floor 1 & 2 as 'full gable'. Basic roof pitch should be at least 11" or 12". Then set up floor 2.
