As I said, that line had nothing to do with the camera that was present during the screen shot. It was there before I created that camera view, and when I closed the camera, the line was still there. The line was created when I did the plan check to restore the living area text to the new rooms on that floor. Which is why the line points to the region between the two new rooms (the library and the hall / stairwell at the top). It is like it made the line to point to the living area the text was in reference to. I don't mind that in practice, but the fact I couldn't select just the line to modifiy it / move it when I moved the living area text is a bug IMO. Anyway, as I previously posted, I managed to remove the line by selecting a larger region and de-selecting most of the other items before cutting. Then I just had to put the missing items back. Easy fix, but annoying.

In that screen shot I did have an active camera, but even without the camera the line remains. And like I said, I cannot select it or anything to delete it or modify it. I finally got rid of it by selecting the area, deselecting most other things, and then cutting. I had to put the other things back but it wasn't too bad.

Update to the plans changed the rooflines and they are ALMOST perfect except this one frackin wall! I have a balcony wall and for some reason the roofline next to it makes a peak to intersect it. I've tried changing the interior-exterior options, removed the gable ends, adjusted every interior wall, etc. but nothing fixes this. It should be a simple roofline with gables at both ends.... Any help? This is the final piece as the layout is 100% done finally, but this roofline issue is driving me nuts.

So, I was going through the plan check to re-create my missing living area texts and this strange polyline showed up... I can't select it, move it, delete it, or anything. Even if I hide the living area texts (either by deleting them or turning the feature off), it still remains! Anyone? Bueller? Bueller...?

Another method you can use which has worked for me is to make a special wall (using an arched doorway) with the thickness equal to the depth of the arch or barrel ceiling. Make certain you set the wall to no room definition, no locate, and no moldings. So far it seems to work well for me anyway.

I tried that before but I guess I didn't have the wall break close enough to the other walls to create the roof lines I wanted. Now I have it. It's not perfect, but easily close enough. Thanks!

I'm trying to get some gable walls for my rooflines but it is giving me very large gable walls which extend into parts of the building which shouldn't happen. I've attached three screen shots. A - shows current gable walls. B - shows (black lines) planned gable walls and peaks C - shows what happens then the planned gable walls are made into gable walls. I've tried all kinds of combinations (even with interior walls) to create the roofline I want, but with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I am using Home Designer Architectural (2020 version). I have an issue that keeps coming up. The attic wall should be exterior to show the siding on the roof walls, but if I manually change the attic wall by extending the exterior wall it replaces the interior wall in the vaulted ceiling room. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I am hoping it is something I am just overlooking. Thanks in advance!

Ok, never mind... I just extended the invisible front room to include the garage as well and problem solved. Thanks for all the help.

Well, it is definitely getting there. I didn't think about the Open Below to handle the floor, but as you can see in the picture some siding is still showing (odd, huh?) and also when I align the overhangs the overhang over the attached garage vanishes! I've attached the sample for you to look at. Thanks again for the help! UPDATE: Ok, I changed the foundation to slab and that took care of the lower siding problem. Now if the garage overhang lined up everything would be great. sample.plan

LOL look at the lengths of the overhangs... obviously the top one is much shorter than the bottom one. It could be the angle of the camera I suppose, since it almost looks like the roof pitches don't match, either.

Close, but the overhangs look like they don't match.

Hi, Solver and thanks for the reply. There are a few problems with this solution (I tried it already): the roof lines won't match unless I adjust the room height, even then the overhang extends beyond the roof line on the second floor, and also the floor of the "invisible front room" creates a porch-like area that I don't want. If you can make it work with the provided sample file, let me know... :-)

I am building a saltbox style design but would like to have the roof line extend on the first floor as shown in the image. But, if I align the second floor wall over the first floor wall, the "extension" part of the roof. I have included a sample .plan file in case someone can give me help. Thanks! sample.plan

Yeah, this work around has been suggested before when I was trying to do this build a few months ago. It doesn't really work well either. It bugs me because I could use automatic dormers, but I get errors because the walls are too close, etc. Just another limitation in the software I suppose. If anyone comes up with a solution that works (I posted the .plan to try it out), please let me know. Thanks!
