it will show up when you are in the floor plan and on second floor. IF does not show up Go into default settings. PLan settings. CLick show Living Area Label.

look at what you have selected for Post and beam part. Maybe play with those settings.

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.

are they maybe part of an architectural block?

maybe you are getting too detailed? Maybe make from cabinet door in library and change material & dimensions? or find something else in library close to what you want and then change the materials and dimensions for it. heck might be a material in library that you could change partitions to that will give you the look?

fake them into an open full height cabinet by using cabinet PARTITIONS.

when they make the forms they use a 2x6 and lay flat to create the brick ledge which is 5.5" wide.. Much cheaper then ripping them to make it thin But wall layers should be brick = 3.5" Air Gap= Min 1.5" Sheathing = ~1/2" (15/32" plywood or 7/16" OSB) ----- Brick Ledge Edge ------ Stud = 3.5" Sheet Rock = 1/2" So stuff on brick ledge side = 3.5+1.5+.5 = 5.5" Just adjust your air gap to create wall thickness to match so your plans match. Around here, some builders putting up 1/2" foam board to sheathing and taping joints so air gap goes back to 1" - $$$ but helps with Thermal break and insulation

yeah subscriptions sux I am just gonna use the 2025 HDPRO I have and live with it for my hobby fun and home upgrades. Plenty of threads on no one liking the new business model.

yup basic does not have custom ceiling planes Pro does.

How did you make the vaulted ceiling? Ceiling plane or UNchecked Flat Ceiling? Try ceiling plane as you can force it to do what you want.

called BOARD & BATTEN. JAmes Hardie has some simulated and I remember seeing it in the default siding library.

from my look you do not have walls for the roof to rest on so program freaks out as it wants the roofs to sit on wall. Make walls and set them to be railings For Side walls - Open them in the edit dialogue: ON rail Page: set the railing to OPEN Set posts to POST to BEAM Define start and end post as you wish either half, full or auto - I suggest FULL for your plan as out in the open Their is a tab for manually defining beam dims later ON NEWEL/BALUSTERS page Set dims for posts Width (think wall width) Max spacing 10ft or whatever you want (set it so just bit more then what you have now) for type either Square or choose one in from your library For front and end walls do the same except change post spacing to bit more then width of pavilion. So after walls then it will make a room - Choose Patio or similar. Define room in more detail. Set foundation monolithic slab 4" thick then have it BUILD FOUNDATION. Now you have foundation and walls. GO to default settings for framing and set first floor ceiling framing to what you are using for JOISTS and spacing. Set roof pitch define rafters dims and spacing. Auto create roof. Adjust if needed but for this simple roof should be fine. Build Framing and modify framing to suit. You issue is you do not have a room

maybe not available anymore from GE....
