You are very close! Move your roof planes so they form a gable; then, add a wall in the attic that is under the roof planes. BTW I noticed the roof planes are not in alignment; see the left side

Try editing that page number on Page 0 of the layout sheet. That is the master sheet; whatever is on that page, will be on all pages.

See if this Clerestory how-to article helps https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00492/building-a-clerestory-skillion-roof.html

Take your "as-built" plan and save it as your "remodel" plan. Then, do your remodeling - adding/removing walls etc.

Did you check the option to print in color?

You could place two cabinets opposing one another back-to-back. Take one of them, and remove the front face items leaving only an opening.

Material transparency was removed in Home Designer 2026. Many of the new materials now have material maps; and when there is a map, the transparency control did not override the map and make any change. So, that setting was removed in favor of using the new materials in ray trace views. If you feel strongly about it (I see you must with upper case in your post), let us know by sending an email, and we can relook at the feature - suggestions<at>chiefarchitect.com

Can you post your plan so we can look at it?

Do you have the automatic roof on; have you edited the wall top? Maybe post your plan so we can see what's going on.

Doug, here's what I looked at, refer to the images. 1. I turned on the Auto Rebuild Roofs 2. On floor 2, I extended your wall across, so the roof would build symmetrically 3. Placed a shed dormer and adjusted the windows. It's a floating dormer; if you want a structural dormer, which seems likely here, you need to draw walls to connect it (refer to the help system if you need)

You could also use a stair landing and set the radius.

Did you send the view to the layout as a 'live view' or 'plot lines'? Plot Lines will be a crisp view.

Sandra, I think how you have done this looks good. The angled front is not a good fit here. I did this on a past project in a similar way.

Can you post your plan?

You might try to reset your toolbars. I'm not sure if that option is in 2024's preferences (it is in 2025 / 2026)
