  1. there appear to be roof planes present, right? the why doesn't the roof show with BUILD ROOF>>>? It should or the s/w should tell you it isn't dong anything. For example when I click build auto roof, it still doesnt show.
  2. Parapet Wall returns nothing found...on this forum, but google, well that doesn't address if (Y/N) need to make a second floor and how to make the curved section.
  3. Adding on to this front porch, four columns, you position a header beam, what does a builder do next??? The software needs to respond same way. Leave it open or make a roof and to that point, BUILD>ROOF> need to make it easier, should work, just like stick building is.
  4. Filled out profile with HOME DESIGNER PRO 2017 "should have been part of the sign up process", really. JoAnn, Ever heard of Bill Gates? All his software is self teachable, even Apple, once you go Mac you never go back, Photoshop self taught before there were forums. so PLZ. Never heard of paraphet wall, did not come up in multiples of searches, and I expect if you search "walls dont transfer over to new plan", something in the base CA s/w help section would come up to guide someone
  5. Great program if you are building with kindling sticks, but if your intent is anywhere else in the world, this program has big faults that are difficult to over come. First - walls, I have 'made the definitions of the construction typical of south west, and that is European and basically any South American construction technique. Problem 1 - I have to make the walls for each plan, takes hours, even though the material list is saved. Issue - cannot transfer walls to a new plan, if you know how, please advise. Problem 2 - How do I get the partial second floor walls, and the "gable" walls to build properly as is shown in this photo? Note I have searched the forum and user detail for days, and there must be something that is happening when I define the walls that messes 'stick build programming'. That then leads into porch building - seems crazy, why doesnt a roof build over four columns and a beam tied to the wall???
