  1. 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
  2. select wall. OPen up the wall editor thingy. See what if ATTIC wall is not checked. or take screen shot and post.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. why not? in floor plan they show up as symbols
  6. 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
  7. I delete one and then set the terrain smoothing and triangle count to LOW and rebuilt. That black hole is gone.
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. well go to 3d section view and get it in your view. The click on it and delete.
  11. why 2 threads? What is this attachment?
  12. where are the bedroom closets? From my learnings - it is not a bedroom if it does not have an escape window nor a closet. So if you add closets might need to increase footprint and then you can better plan for the stairs. I mean I would figure out stairs before I did other rooms since it takes up space and interacts with 2 levels. if you leave everything as is I would make U stairs in upper left corner as above poster suggested.
  13. hard to understand what you want. but what I see is the shared wall of house and garage should be an interior type wall. YOu do not want siding on garage interior int he short length do you?
  14. not an option I have seen. Probably could be done by MANUALLY adding things into the framing. USE rectangle shapes or maybe a beam could be modified to work? Can I ask why frame it normally?
  15. how did you make the 10ft area and the 9ft area? Are they different rooms or soffit or what?
  16. I do not see what you are discussing? If walls do not line up check wall thickness as normally program tries to line up studs. or you should line up studs. If not drag them in plan view and use snaps to align studs (main layer) Also you can select stairs and open edit dialogue and turn off handrails against a wall or least turn of balusters etc you need to play more with software to see what it can and cannot do along with click that help button
  17. Try custom countertop but set top @ 1/16. OR slab etc. Secret is the height above floor should be 1/16" or less but above 0 so you can see it. Then change material to whatever border tile you want. They have to have some video or help thing about this one
  18. need some pictures of what you have and what you want. but if it is ATTIC level you need to add second floor without raising existing roof and then you can draw walls and create rooms. Th attic will move to above these rooms. well covered in the help manual

    Roof Build

    What you see is underside of rood sheathing. You have framing turned off and ceiling turned off.
  20. which software are you using as I do not see it listed in signature? also maybe upload plan file so others can play with what you have
  21. in settings somewhere where in it selects ROOM before anything else So if you have cursor over object you want but grabs one nearby Click TAB and it should cycle thru objects near cursor.
  22. for garage roof: Click outer wall and open the object sceen. Then click on ROOF tab. then click HELP lower right Read up on Extend Slope Downward, shed roof & High Gable Me I would just manual edit roof planes over house and drag its right side down over garage and past exterior wall. Then set outer edge to match overhang I wanted. It may cut the outer wall and shorten it or have a gap over this wall and you will need to extend that wall up. IT is about playing with the tools you are giving to find the way to make it look like you want.
