visioncapital Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I created an object for a cantilevered balcony extension and placed a straight railing on top of the balcony object and I cannot see a way to keep the program from automatically adding a roof structure over the railing. The same happened when I created a lower floor with the floor above held back as an open air balcony space. I added the railing and it builds a roof over the railing. I'm guessing from what I read I need to create room separation. Is there a tutorial on how to extend a cantilevered floor and create extended balconies without a roof over top. See file attached.

solver Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Open the balcony room and uncheck Roof Over This Room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visioncapital Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Is there not an Home Designer Architectural 2019 version, which is what I wrote and think I have. I added the signature, thank's for the advice. I went to defaults settings, floors and ceilings, room types, balcony and there is no option to uncheck Roof Over This Room, only ceiling and floor finishes. Should I be looking somewhere else? Or is it not an option with this version. The two different areas, when clicked on, that are effected are a room specification and a slab specification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visioncapital Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 I renamed the room specification to balcony and see that it fixed the roof over that section. I cannot change the slab to a room, so I'll figure out another way to extend the cantilevered balcony floor, which I see in a video I'm watching I can probably do with an invisible wall to separate that area of a room as a balcony. Any other thoughts? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 You created a room by enclosing the space with a railing. Select the room (the slab will select first, so Tab to select the room). Open it and uncheck roof over this room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
