  1. 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.
  2. how did you make beam? what type of element is it? Ceiling beam or a soffit or a 3d object or ??
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. select wall. OPen up the wall editor thingy. See what if ATTIC wall is not checked. or take screen shot and post.
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. why not? in floor plan they show up as symbols
  10. 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
  11. I delete one and then set the terrain smoothing and triangle count to LOW and rebuilt. That black hole is gone.
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. well go to 3d section view and get it in your view. The click on it and delete.
  15. why 2 threads? What is this attachment?
  16. 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.
  17. 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?
  18. 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?
  19. how did you make the 10ft area and the 9ft area? Are they different rooms or soffit or what?
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. 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
