Nevermind. I had to zoom in on the house pic, to see that it was showing the existing deck without a roof over it.

The floor plan you posted, and the house pic you posted, do not match.

Your signature is not showing which product and it's version you are using.

Maybe post a pic of your floor plan too, with the dimensions showing.

Now, you should post some pics of what you have tried, and do not like.

JasonSJ... NO, you haven't.

Try this: Open the window, open the label tab. Check specify label. Place your cursor in front of the label, and press enter. See if it moves the label down. If it does, hit OK and look at the window in the floor plan view.

Post jpeg images directly to the forum, not a PDF.

jpeg pics of the house should be posted directly to the forum, not a PDF. All 4 sides should be shown, for someone to know what the roof is supposed to look like.

Not sure what it is supposed to look like. A pic of the real house might have been more helpful. After a lot of experimenting, I got this result. Maybe it is closer to what you want.

Did you use ICF walls for the upper walls, too?

Suite does not have sloped soffits.

No more guessing. I'm done.

Or maybe just stepped siding? Too many things to guess about.

I think you need to post the plan file, so that someone can see what you have done, instead of guessing.

Why would you set the sub-floor level at 48" ? And why did you put the batten siding on the foundation level?

Open the terrain Perimeter dialog box, and look at the options there, (sub-floor height above terrain).

Search the Knowledge Base for Belly Band.

YAY! Success! You can use a soffit for the beams, or a closed box shape (from the library).

And you still do not seem to understand the difference between a flat roof, a shed roof, and a gable roof. The pic you posted does not really show much of the extension on the back of the house, which is where the roof problem is. To eliminate the ridge shingles: Draw a room divider wall between the angled walls of the windowed bump-out, creating that area as a small room. Open the dialog box for the bump-out room, and start lowering the ceiling, by inches and fractions of inches, until you see the ridge shingles disappear.

?? Pay attention to what you are describing that you want. A shed roof and a flat roof are not the same. A snip pic jpeg of the real house (not a google snip) Might be more informative.

First, get the shed roof correct. (read about upper/lower pitch). If the attic walls do not build, (#1 on your image) draw them on the attic level,and check them as no room definition,or attic walls. The custom roof opening you are trying to do, is not possible with the tools available with Suite. A large skylight is the best you can do.

If you have already chosen the template style for your plan... Look In the library, Architectural > Cabinets > Style Template Cabinets. There are 8 styles there. Carefully look at each style, as they are all slightly different from each other.
