  1. Fixed window on the top, doorway underneath.  Doorway reduced height, bottom raised, no threshold.
    For the opened window, use a wall cabinet with a top hinge framed panel door (option set to open), (set to how many degrees open)  panel material (glass).   Set the cabinet materials to misc-no material (except for the door ).
    CTRL slide the cabinet into doorway, and set the height from floor until it is correct.
    Create a custom countertop extended to the outside.

  2. If you want to get good answers, then you need to use the correct terminology.
    That is not sagging roof material.  That is the ceiling of the tiny room.
    Open the room dialog structure tab, and check ' use soffit surface for ceiling'.

     

  3. Square off the bay by creating 2 small rooms on each side of the bay, using invisible walls.

    Open the small rooms and set them as 'open below'.

    Set the entire front bay wall (including the front invisible walls) as 'gable'.

  4. On the HD catalog download website, the catalog for Cabinet Hardware #2, specifically for Suite 2023,  shows an itemized list of what is in the catalog, and Patrick bar pull #2 is shown.

    If there is a problem with the catalog, then it should be reported to HD.

  5. As Rookie65 said, ALWAYS start with building the house, first.
    Then create a terrain perimeter.

     

    Open the terrain dialog box (DBX) and set the basic terrain according to it's relation to the house (subfloor height above terrain).
    Experiment with this in a sample plan, until you understand how it works.

  6. You said, "The Architectural upgrade is not much different than what I already have...Suite 2023".

    You are mistaken. There is a lot of difference between Architectural and Suite.


    On the Home Designer website, look at the comparison chart  for Suite versus Architectural.

    Architectural has many more important features that are not available with Suite.


    To name a few:
     Sloped soffits, custom countertop, custom backsplash, Architectural Blocks, pony walls, vector view.


    These features are useful in many other ways, other than what  their names imply.

     

     

    The scalloped trim was done using a custom backsplash.
