    y-g-m-n's post in Noob Struggling With Roof Line was marked as the answer   
    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

    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

    turn off auto dimensions.
     
    Also learn to play with the DISPLAY OPTIONS feature which turns on and off visible layers in the current type view, be it plan or any of the 3d

    y-g-m-n's post in Change rooms monolithic slab defaults, like Garage was marked as the answer   
    Oh and above I messed up when I said room defualt I meant for particular room itself on the plan you open the room edit screen and change floor level.
     
    After you changed floor level did you rebuild foundation?
    Turn on step markers so you can see where there is step in slab.
     
    Sometimes you have to edit the AUTOMATIC formed foundation as it is not perfect.
     
    So I attached screen shots of s simple house I did in HD PRO 2025
    Floorplan portion showing porch which is under main roof
    Then foundation showing steps and stem wall for garage on one side.
    Then room spec - I have room type set to PORCH.
    And finally 3d showing lower porch floor.
     
    note once you get floor right TURN off AUTO REBUILD for foundation
     
    Sometimes ya just have to play with it.
    Software developers in charge of slabs should come out to the Southeast where majority of foundations are slabs and see how they are designed and built.
     
    God bless you if you want a post tension slab

    y-g-m-n's post in How to re-enable display of detailed wall layers in plan view? was marked as the answer   
    Uncheck (turn off) WALL, MAIN LAYER ONLY.
    IT over-rides other wall viewing settings.

    y-g-m-n's post in Upgrading HD Pro was marked as the answer   
    USB and CD? Really heck my new laptop (from 2 years ago) did not have option for CD drive I had to buy external.
     
    Really just download software to any and all computers you use it on a you have to be connected to internet to use program.
    Then check their website and they tell you how to turn it on one computer while turning off on another as it can only be working on one computer at a time.
     
    This is all covered on their website.

    y-g-m-n's post in Electrical Panels and Stairs was marked as the answer   
    I think on some panels if you open them up, they have placement dims.
     
    You need to look at DISTANCE from WALL and play with it to get your desired look.
     
    Seems the panels I use like to go into walls, and they are mounted on exterior outdoors on my brick.

    Just go to your library search bar and type APRON SINK hit return and presto a bunch of them will show up.
     
    The library search is an amazing tool

    y-g-m-n's post in Stem wall vs foundation was marked as the answer   
    stem wall is part of foundation above footers that the Walls are built upon.
    It is not a separate item.

    y-g-m-n's post in EXTERIOR WALL ARCHED DOOR OPENING was marked as the answer   
    pretty sure what you have will.
     
    insert your door.
    Click on it to highlight and then open DOOR edit DIALOGUE.
    On left side, click on ARCH tab.
    many choices in there for you to get creative.
     
    In fact when you get to that edit page click the help button to open up the help screen for door arches.
    Tons of info there to describe how to make an arched door.
     
    Most of this stuff is covered in help manual and by playing around with item you are interested in "Tweaking" it is about playing with software and looking at everything i nthose edit screens to see what you can do
