Well When I draw them I go inside room and draw a smaller room using room divider for walls then and ensure you enclose a space to make another room. Then inside this room click it so you can edit room details Go to structure page and change ceiling height to whatever you want it to be inside the tray area. I tend to go based on heights of lumber required for span so 11.25" (2x12) higher than room you created this Fake room. Now my method creates vertical "wall" inside the tray area where you drew cathedral ceiling to get to the tray ceiling height. So fo yours you could do the same thing but might have to make another Fake room inside that one. So this other fake room represents the Flat ceiling portion. Then the "Ring" one that is under the "Cathedral" ceiling portion edit room structure page and UNCHECK flat roof and then the ceiling will go be sheetrock under rafters. Not sure what it will do on inside portion where the rafters will be well above. So maybe make ceiling planes for this slanted portion as you know the base and the "ridge" heigh from the normal room ceiling would be base height and the tray small portion ceiling height would be the ridge height. Have to play with it to see what gives you what you want.

need to select room. then click EDIT button. Thengo to STRUCTURE TAB There you will find CEILING info and button to turn off

also your roof pitch in model do not look like those in picture. drawing look steeper more like 12/12 where picture looks like 4/12

So you want to extend porch in front by covering sides with a flat roof? USe a manual roof plane and set pitch to 0.

DId you try by changing DEFAULT FRAMING member size for rafter? Then go to BUIILD FRAMING Then SELECT BUILD FRAMING ONCE Then check ROOFS Then hit OK and see what happens? Pretty sure that is 2024 edition I know it is my 2025. BUT Rafters located based on Wall Top Plate and normal birds mouth so rafter tops will be elevated. Also are you getting spray foam under roof deck? as normal insulation is in Ceilings or Ceiling Joist bays unless you want conditioned attic and then normal avenue is spray foam which requires less depth for same R as Fiberglass bat.

WHY? They have realistic grass to cover top surface and look real... who needs to see cross section of earth for building a house?

what type of room did you make stairwell? ON second floor it should be "OPEN BELOW" check roof over & flat ceiling. on first floor can be anything. I set mine to HALLS check roof over & flat ceiling. but I think your problems area easily solved with update to pro and you manually edit roof planes. But I say that because I find it easier to just do the auto roof and then edit planes to what I want if not correct. Trying to figure out why it does goofy roof things can be a pain so I just prefer to edit them planes

not sure this software is setup to do what you want without making each sheet individually. Normally in floor heating uses a plastic panel with "PEGS" sticking up and grooves on all 4 sides. Schluter®-BEKOTEC | Modular Screed Systems | Schluter You glue it down and then lay floor heating piping in it. Reason for pegs is you can install in whatever pattern you want. Old days they had a special plank with aluminum on top for piping to snap into and plywood glued to back. very pricey and labor intensive. I suggest googling it to see what is available and best for your project this plywood thing would be expensive as you have to pay someone to machine groove and it has tobe thick enough for tubing to be below top.

Many ways. kind of depends on size and construction. Yours actually look like a normal column maybe made from 4 4x posts in corners then conencted with sheathing and then covered in Stucco. I would make a new wall definition by copying the STUCCO 4" stud one and just removing sheetrock from interior surface. Then make a small room with exterior stucco dims matching your 16x16. It will make a room can you can call it UNKOWN type. ANother way is to make it a slab 16x16 w/footer and make thickness whatever itneeds to be to hit structure above be it 97.5" or 107.25 etc. Then yet again look in columns for one might be stanard ones do not have what youhave but maybe they have library for sale that does. Another way is make it from 3D shape. I bet there are 3-5 more ways to make it - get creative and what works best for you.

try ceiling beams next time. Insert one then select and open edit window and hit HELP. tons of info and more suited to what you are doing.

how did you make beam? what type of element is it? Ceiling beam or a soffit or a 3d object or ??

They look like those pesky TEMP POINTS which I have never figured out what they could be used for. Delete and stay away from that POINT function. keep it off.

I have yet to find where you can a have a slope on foundation or a concrete slab. Everything is flat. If you want slope you need to put it in a note. As for your REMODEL you need to talk to contractor and maybe engineers to see if potential issues need to be addressed. Sinking foundation is not good as it can cause sheetrock cracks as well as roof leaks, exterior issues like cracked brick mortar joints etc.

I would MANUALLY Adjust roof planes. Turn off auto roof rebuild. Delete the roof planes you do not like Extend the one on the hump side all the way to outer edge and proper overhang. then adjust opposite side of roof plane top ridge down until it is straight and connects to the side behind you edited. Might have to use soem of the roof plane tools like connect planes etc. (USE HELP SCREEN if unsure) Edite and fix roof planes above that angled bonus space area. Might need to tweak soem things like roof and wall figure together. Also with that bonus room the walls etend above downward sloping roof you may want to add some crickets, something to slow and divert rain water rushing down roof plane so it does not smack into vertical wall, because it will be difficult to waterproof and over time will leak and rot and be a nightmare Lots of stuff can be done using manual roof editor in HD PRO

select wall. OPen up the wall editor thingy. See what if ATTIC wall is not checked. or take screen shot and post.

yes use the SPRAY can paint object option. You click it and then go select your paint color from the library paint manufacturers (can paint it any material that shows up) once selected a little spray can shows up and you have options for how it paints. by floor, room etc etc (CLICK HELP HERE so you understand how it works) Then point and click.... presto color changes

top left pic looks good? What type of windows? wood, vinyl or aluminum framed? In PRo versio You have control over int & ext sill, header, casings, jamb etc. play with them until you get what you want Way it is made would be the windows installed before siding be it board batten on top or the stone veneer on bottom. Each will have a detail on how it ends near windows and doors etc.

cannot delete pickets from fence panels

why not? in floor plan they show up as symbols

seems like one story with on side having sloped ceiling under roof ( so NO Flat roof. and set wall height to low side for shed rood and then the shed roof slope. Then under porch do the same should auto build if not this is simple enough to build you own roof planes and ceiling planes. As for attic looks too short to have 2nd story inside. if you did would only be 4ft or so

dayum you are right. so now just doble click on each room and set them up. Not hard

I delete one and then set the terrain smoothing and triangle count to LOW and rebuilt. That black hole is gone.

must be some funky elevation data and how it calcs the terrain. Maybe remove one contour line at a time until it goes away. One of those lines is probably the cause. Not like you need so many on outside

first off your interior rooms are no defined since you did not close any off. So do not stop wall for doorway. Continue wall to enclose a space. to create a room. Then add in a door where you want it. This is a basic stuff they teach you via help and website info, videos etc. Hel pyourself by first reviewing all that material first.

well go to 3d section view and get it in your view. The click on it and delete.
