  1. How did you make the vaulted ceiling? Ceiling plane or UNchecked Flat Ceiling? Try ceiling plane as you can force it to do what you want.

    Exterior Siding

    called BOARD & BATTEN. JAmes Hardie has some simulated and I remember seeing it in the default siding library.
  3. from my look you do not have walls for the roof to rest on so program freaks out as it wants the roofs to sit on wall. Make walls and set them to be railings For Side walls - Open them in the edit dialogue: ON rail Page: set the railing to OPEN Set posts to POST to BEAM Define start and end post as you wish either half, full or auto - I suggest FULL for your plan as out in the open Their is a tab for manually defining beam dims later ON NEWEL/BALUSTERS page Set dims for posts Width (think wall width) Max spacing 10ft or whatever you want (set it so just bit more then what you have now) for type either Square or choose one in from your library For front and end walls do the same except change post spacing to bit more then width of pavilion. So after walls then it will make a room - Choose Patio or similar. Define room in more detail. Set foundation monolithic slab 4" thick then have it BUILD FOUNDATION. Now you have foundation and walls. GO to default settings for framing and set first floor ceiling framing to what you are using for JOISTS and spacing. Set roof pitch define rafters dims and spacing. Auto create roof. Adjust if needed but for this simple roof should be fine. Build Framing and modify framing to suit. You issue is you do not have a room
  4. maybe not available anymore from GE....
  5. best advice I received a long time ago when I was given new software. PLAY WITH IT .... eventually you will figure it out and use the help button...
  6. first: curved roofs not exactly done in HD - only CA. for roofs make sure you have your defaults set to what you want. Then go over each exterior walls to set how you want the roof to be over that wall - Gable or Hip etc. Set slopes. - Want two slopes - set those variables. Make sure each room has proper settings for roof over or not. Alot of that can be preset when you set defaults before making floor plan Then I build roof... and if I find something not to my liking I will manually edit those roof planes.
  7. delete all roof planes and see if it goes away.. if so then yes a roof plane that extends to give you eaves and not tie into whatever is over carport. got 3d view with roof?
  8. No reason to have in floor plan. Create a window and door list
  9. you need different molding choice that has a top and has flat vertical surface on back wall side. Stock choices kinda crappy IMO. The content library has Windsor One Moldings which has some good choices for lintels
  10. what year software? Shingles are under main library ROOFING and then manufacturers if yo go download from their site (might have to pay unless you have 2026 subscription based.)
  11. PS you should install tile on walls as custom backsplash not molding.
  12. Ditto to above. molding is meant for those cross section shapes in library to be "Extruded" around room.
  13. well what fixed it? Curious peeps wanna know
  14. can you post picture of PLAN with CROSS SECTION Camera location/lines
