This is when your local custom cabinet maker gets involved... As they could make a cabinet box to fit and tie into others and look seamless. Not much storage inside so doors only. For software I would draw a base cabinet that is only 3/4" deep (sheet of plywood they use in cabinets) Door Front Only. Then add custom countertop to cover top.

Very simple window bench that fits your space. HD Cabinet grade 3/4" Birch plywood. Make front in 2 pieces since over ft. OR make from 1x2 etc trim lumber CHEAP stuff. Then use pocket screws to make face frame. Cut plywood to make some verticals. Add 2x4 over wall to support "countertop" and one at bottom for drawer slide hardware to attach to. Make drawers from same plywood or you can get them custom made online or locally. Have owner pick counter top to be butcher block or if they want just use plywood. then have owners pick out pillows and cushions. Double as window set and 4 drawer storage underneath. Of you want the side with short wall on RIGHT can make on angle or curve to reduce banged up knees. have fun and be creative Window Bench.calibz

well for #2 add a ceiling plane where the flat section is... Do you have 3d views/pictures of this house? I do not understand what it is supposed to look like as #3 does not make sense nor why would you do that.

cabinet will not work as you are framing with 2x4s.... Cabinets are plywood boxes with drawers and doors on a face frame. So you could draw this as a special wall and ceiling structure room. for wall change dims and spacing of stud Personally I would remove all this framing. Finish out room like it was never there expect do not apply any window trim yet. So flooring is under what ever you make to allow for future changes and just looks better. Have a custom cabinet made. No toe kick Counter top could be plywood or butcher block or stone etc account for choice in design and could be window stool or just come up and align with it... Here is where you need design it before building. I see 3 boxes each having 2 doors maybe inset doors or full coverage doors Maybe make them lower so they become window seats and then only the top is hinged to lift up and store junk inside. These are the fun projects trim carpenters love. Hell reply with dims I might like to have a stab at design.

nope as joists are horizontal. Roof rafters can be on slope which come from roof planes. So draw roof plane then adjust material to be OPENING (no material) under core library- Material - Insulation Then the roof disappears but the structure is left behind so rebuild framing. SHould add the rafters in and in the roof plane dialogue you can set their size and spacing.

Need to go to wall edit dialogue. Then the roof tab Click help so the help screen opens and explains all the options on that page and what they do. Try and select GABLE

either take what you have and edit those roof planes and maybe add some or you have to go over each wall and set the roof type Gable or hip. Then maybe add gable lines over portions of wall so then the entire wall is not gable just say a middle section. Might have to adjust wall/room heights for that front funky dormer.

How would you build it in Real Life? Try 3D shapes.

if you cannot see something when in any view 2d or 3d go there first to check what you are missing is set to DISPLAY as every view has their own settings.

2 things to check. In the STAIR edit Dialogue - Tab for ARROW - Check box for include ARROW at top. Then on main menu TOOLS go to DISPLAY OPTIONS Scroll down to STAIRS & RAMPS, UP/DOWN Arrows and make sure you have a Check mark under DISP Column to turn it on in whatever view you are in. Most things are pretty simple it is just finding them.. So if you cannot see something see if it is turned OF in the display options. IF on there go to item and open its edit dialogue as normally everything you need to edit item is in there.

maybe easiest way is to: click on the NICHE and open edit screen . Then go to FRAME tab and click them on and give them thickness of tile you will use and then adjust material for it and you will get it all the way around. here you can set the BACK material as well in lieu of custom backsplash.

Need to read the HELP screens and search attics... which by definition are not allowed to have rooms etc. If you want to turn Attic into livable space you needed to create it as net floor level. Check your defaults settings for structures and rooms etc to set ceiling heights

I prefer to just manual edit the roof planes...

What software version are you using?

question?

Change them to PANELS and then change the PANEL material to what you like. click on these and open the edit screen for these "Railing Walls" Go to RAIL tab and at top select PANELS for the railing. Then go to material tab and change the PANEL material to whatever looks like what you want. Check in the bonus stuff for WIRE AND LATTICE plenty in there that may be close to what you need. OR find a picture file and edit a material to have it.

go to CHIEF ARCHITECT forums and ask. This forum is for Home Designer big difference in software

I suggest asking Chief Architect peeps

this is when editing roof planes using HD-PRO make it easy. Maybe upload your plan and someone can just edit your roof planes and upload it back into thread

need picture of what HD is is giving you now. Search Gable Roof in the help as there is a gable line you can draw parallel to roof edge to denote where it should create gables.

that is what sucks... the $500 per year With old purchasing model the upgrades were had for like you said $100-$125 - more reasonable fee having already invested into the software Tend to be a perpetual customer but it is my choice.

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
