I was bored No way to your dims so please take with grain of salt or a pound of salt. Point is I did this all by tweaking roof planes. So once roof planes are close. That would be the 2 gables (4 planes) and the shed are close I use the Roof Plane JOiner tool to get then right. When all done and looks good I rebuild framing. you see the valley rafter where the shed meets either Gable... HTH If nto you need to play more until you get it.
-
You need to put a hole in the roof plane for the Gable end which is almost acting like a DORMER. Or cut this shed roof plane around the gale plane.. Insert some break points where it intersects the gable and then move the part under the gable. Pretty simple actually... Think of it like a slab or other enclosed polyline item and add and subtract corner point and re-shape the roof plane.
-
If you create it using manual roof planes with any HD pro version Then when done with that go back to framing tool and AUTO frame it will add framing for the roof planes you created. No need to upgrade I can see
-
not sure where you got your screen from but here is what I see using HD PRO 2025 Framing page is what you see under : EDIT - DEFAULT SETTINGS - FRAMING Notice it came up on FOUNDATION tab and you can define the first floor structure. IGNORE actual timber sies as they are program defaults So I then click on EDIT net to FLOOR STRUCTURE See it has plywood and JOIST material 11 7/8" tall. that is it. my guess is you do not have the sheathing GEt to that screen and click HELP
-
heck that looks like the flooring on top of the floor truss since cabinet sit on it as does baseboard molding. check your default settings for Framing. Fr Foundation, 1st & 2nd flooring as it applies - review "FLOOR STRUCTURE FOR FLOOR X" Where X is for the floor above E.g. for Foundation tab you set the flooring structure for the 1st floor
-
I will say nice list of new features heck one I even asked for - LED STRIP-ROPE-TAPE Lights. WOnder how that works. - under counter top appliances like dishwashers etc. that fit between cabinets will not have to be inserted into base cabinets anymore hated fighting that And the countertops continue over these... - NEw framing stuff Interesting and I may have upgraded if it was purchase and not a subscription. I do not understand why they cannot have both. Let those who rent it for soem amount get everything in library store for free as a bonus for renting. but those who like to own and run one version for few years do so. I mean I can buy a car or lease why not software?
-
for each cabinet go to molding page and ADD in a base for each cabinet Remove toe as required. Not hard
-
do not think there is a way. Should only affect the material list when you calc for rooms, floor or house.. List gives # sheets so you could do a little math - take: #sheets * 8/12 = Q12ft you need
-
I would try the subscription but I want to keep my 2025. Also want ability to save files in 2025 format in case I do not think it is worth it I always have 2025 to fall back on. That is what sucks with subscription... you stop paying they turn it off and you cannot sue anymore so everything you have done is DEAD... Like a MAFIA thing --- you have to pay the juice to keep living.
-
I hate subscriptions even though I tend to upgrade every year but it was always my choice... Subscriptions force one to upgrade basically every year - I find the updates come more often but tend to be rushed and most updates are fixing issues from last updates. I understand why software companies like subscriptions as they feel they get a more consistent revenue stream but I would have to guess it is less then before since some just say NOPE. but if the subscription is cheaper per year then the upgrades from years past then OK. But when I stop the subscription I feel the software should stay on computer and work but never get updated again. Remember the only reason Software companies do updates/upgrades etc is to get you to send in more $$$$. Sad day when 2026 comes out.

you could try to play with roof pitches over certain ext walls. Maybe make second storey that fits inside roof and play with ceiling heights. I would have to play with it to make auto roof work and I just find that a PIA. If it was me, just too easy to make manual roof planes for that roof and then some attic knee walls for those walls in roof with windows. Whatever method you choose play with it and figure it out you will learn while playing and eventually get what you want. And for the next roof you have more knowledge

Choice they made years ago.... Does not bother me as much as I take it bother you... What bothers me is the lack of the ability to edit the library... i have some folders with nothing in them and It will not let me delete it.... drives me batty. but i guess OCD comes in many forms.... LOL

I did it in my homes model.. Cannot remember exactly but think I just went and found cab door in library and drag and drop into floor plan. Opened edit panel for it. Set W x H and thickness. Set elevation from Floor. Then moved to side of cabinet on island. Then I used a temp dim to locate left to right. As I say you have to play with program to figure out ways to create things and learn more of what it can and cannot do.

when I draw in HD I do it differently than autocad and others. in AC & SW you can click start point hold mouse for orthogonal lines and enter length - Accuracy. With HD I draw a wall and then make say a box - then I click on wall and move then or change lengths etc by changing temp dims to ensure accuracy. Same thing with using HD lines and circles. etc the way I like to do it is draw something close and then click on it and adjust temp dims... I guess that is why I never noticed the click and hold method of drawing things... Now I will be thinking of it.... ARGGGGGG should have never read this thread LOL.

I got it now.... I think please confirm TO draw a wall or a line or anything really You click start point and HOLD LEFT button on mouse and drag to wall end point and then release button. What you want is click start point and then release button while you move mouse to end point and then click left again to set end point. Never notice this, I guess I just got used to HD control and go. I draw in AutoCAD and SolidWorks as well and cannot tell you how I draw without opening them up and drawing then I could tell ya. Been using them all for so long that I just draw when I am using them.
