look at what you have selected for Post and beam part. Maybe play with those settings. -
Help with roof lines? Beginner unable to figure out the software...
y-g-m-n replied to idrivea911's topic in Q&A
to adjust roof pitch. Go to 2d floor plan. Select wall where the roof plane starts in the top plate ( bottom of slope) OPen up the edit screen for this wall. Go to structure tab. Adjust roof pitch to what ever you want. DO this for all walls that do not have the default roof pitch IF wall is a gable end then select gable. And as always for me.. After auto roofs is done I may have to adjust the roof planes it generates to what I want. -

look like "attic wall" parts from railing. hard to say but turn off auto generate attic walls in default settings for walls. then delete them. if that does not work might need your plan. how did you make loft? 2nd floor right? -
Well the white planes are the ceiling below and the gap between this whit surface and bottom of 2nd walls is where Floor structure would be placed. Joists and plywood or such. You may have them turned off. Also you may be looking at this in 3d while on the 1st floor. See what level you are at.

Not sure but probably one where you have to play with things to find the culprit. My guess is they are made on the first floor level not the foundation or level 0.. And I am not sire if that can be fixed...

Did you try making those cuppola as a DORMER?
-
Can I make suggestion. Since that is just holding up a pretty much flat roof probably an Aluminum cover type there is not much loading on those posts that they require a full footing. You could get by with just the normal 4" slab and aluminum posts bolting to it. If this is supporting the house hip roof then I would change the row of posts into a RAILING WALL with Posts to BEAM and railing set to OPEN so it does not have railings. Choose your posts design, size and spacing. this then creates an outdoor room you can change to PATIO and lower as required and have house roof cover it. It will treat this railing wall as part of the house and then creates proper foundation, and you can have a footer under the entire length if you choose.

Remember 2026 version is subscription based which means yo have to pay every month or year to work on drawings. if you stop paying the program stops working. But yes newer versions can open older version files. Newer versions CANNOT save as older versions so everything a new version opens becomes a new version file.

floor plan? Ceiling height in those rooms that gable side walls include should have done what you want.
-
one is not drawn to proper size. my guess is your PLAT info is incorrect. So how did you upload? Better to draw so you can set it as terrain boundary

manually edit the roof plane in question
-
probably because in VECTOR view. Try going into the tools menu and open up LAYER DISPLAY OPTIONS: Then turn off: ROOF OVERHANG and other Roof items you donot have nor want to see.
-
go to tool bar: TOOLS click: DISPLAY OPTIONS Turn off from view BRICK LEDGE LINES They only show up when you have brick on exterior. Not sure why it bugs you since if you have brick they will make a brick ledge to support and get proper drainage.
-
that looks like foundation wall so it could be brick ledge of some sort.
