I cannot open your plan as I do not have HD 2026 nor will I get it. from screen shots. Looks like you need to just REBUILD framing and let software delete old framing and make new based on roof. In roof settings lock on PITCH. Let it figure the rest as pitch is what you want. The room settings will dictate everything else. Also better to set all these settings in the default settings for the plan. Then you only tweak those things that are different from the norm. Save as HD2025 and maybe I can play with it.

I have 2 bathrooms like this. Tried 2 new walls that did not have sheetrock on sides that touch - program did not like that very much and would delete first wall drawn. so I end up just using SOFFIT and went from floor to ceiling. Looks great.

hard to answer without pictures and maybe copy of plan. For the rooms what do you have ceiling height set at? My suggestions to try is make all rooms with a wall height of 1.5" base plate + 3" for 2 top plates + 92.625 for pre-cut studs = 97.125" Do not worry about high side at this point Set roof pitch at your 1.5" per foot. draw outer walls. Then generate roof using the auto roof function. IT will create attic walls above normal walls on high side. See you say 16ft but is that out to out or inside or what? Also, why so important to have exactly 10ft tall wall? Studs come in 2 lengths for 10ft. 120" or 104 5/8" PRetty much always have bottom plate and 2 top plates at 1.5" thick each. So for your 10ft wall you have to buy 120" studs and cut everyone - adds labor cost and probably a wavy ceiling at edge.

did yo make new wall with out drywall on one side? for the look you can "PAINT" with the "stud wall with insulation" Shows studs and pink insulation in between.

maybe your view is on floor 0 and not floor 1? Should see number 1 like in attached pic. If you see 0 click up arrow to change floor that you see

the back wall as drawn is on first floor but you have few windows in tha wall drawn on 2 floor. windows have to be drawn on same floor as wall.

I have it in HD Pro 2025

since subscription based and no need to rename you just jump in and give your yearly money and get the latest version no matter what. They do they need to name it by year anymore? Should just be Home Designer . What do they do about file structure though? In the past, the older version could not rear the update version files, or library stuff. what happens here if you do not update on their schedule? Wonder if these companies who change to subscription-based think of everything. And me who only thought magazines and newspapers should be the only thing on subscriptions. Wonder how the bean counters feel now? how is profit versus previous years?

when I put my default to cut list - that is what I get every single one and the length. Does not combined a bunch of short ones into something that can be cut out of say a 12ft long board ...

what are your settings under default for material list? See attached as example

maybe check what layers are turn on to be visible in the 3d scree.

customize a corner cabinet - something with shelves would be nice

there is a setting somewhere - defaults or ?? where you can change the material to a cut list which would then show every item and length what you have now is TOTAL board feet to buy.

I understand now what you want. Tried playing with software and got frustrated. Best I could do was to play with each rooms absolute floor height. weird how it loves to make concrete stem walls in lieu of wood beams on posts.

got picture or sketch or something visual to better explain issue?

I understand what you want now but just do not understand why other then to make spaces "READ" larger than they are. I cannot fit my bed in a closet in a bedroom so by saying that bedroom is 120 sqft is misleading. the bedroom is 100 sqft and the closet is 20sqft; 2 separate spaces. room divider is an invisible wall that splits a space into 2 rooms by having and enclosed space so kitchen and living room with an invisible wall separating them. but the pantry in the kitchen is not part of the kitchen area nor is the closet in the living room or garage or hallway area a part of the room they are inside. I have never seen a house plan where the creator (Designer or architect) includes the closet sqft to the bedroom sqft. But to each their own I think the reason you cannot do what you want (unless manually add text on plan) is it is not normal for house plans.

all enclosed spaces are defined as rooms for sake of software. Not sure really what you are looking for. You can open up room definition box and turn off label and it will not be named nor show dims/area. And yes a closet is not a bedroom.... in architectural terms. they are 2 distinct rooms, just as your stairwell is if each end seals off with doors.

wall covering is for wall paper not paint. stripe is because you are using wall covering and it has variables for bottom & top. Delete Wall covering. turn off whatever get rid of it if there Easy way to paint a room is in the room dialogue edit screen go to material page and select WALL INT and or EXT and then select material and go to libray and find your color. OR open in 3d and spray paint it with the ROOM selected and spray a wall not the stripe. But go into room

HOw would it be framed?

1 - cannot move posts unless they were inserted as items - if part of a railing wall they get equally spaced based on max post spacing You can make railing wall without posts and first add in Columns from the library to fit and locate as you like then draw railing wall without posts. 2 - not sure what you mean - have plan view w/ roof planes visible? 3 - how did you create that railing wall with posts? If railing wall then go to wall edit dialogue and go to post part and select post to ceiling since you do not have flat ceiling under roof for a beam - Beams in HD tend to be horizontal only 4- see #3.

or you can change height in each room by opening room edit dialogue

or make them all 2x6 and then add ceiling plan in vaulted room to bring ceiling lower than underside of rafters. This does not make sense - is this vaulted room outside Hip wall inline and same ceiling top plate height? Something has to be lower or higher, Not sure how you can have the same top plate height, ridge height, roof pitch, overhang, soffit face height, etc With different roof Rafter lumber sizes. Something has to give as that 7.25" versus 5.5" rafter difference has to be somewhere... PS most rafters are made from 2x10 in my area and supported in attic to keep free span to spec.

so the rafter depth changes in the middle of a room or at the walls? maybe post actual pictures of what you have.

might not be able to in the HD series. Unless try making a landing at the top the sane size as your top step and then the stairs can come off of it... might look right. HD just not setup to build the extra top tread when the top level will suffice... I hate to say it but might be easier in long run to change the way you build them and save some $ on the cost of that last tread

the top step is one down from top floor/landing review all the stair options screen gives you.
