Deck over conditioned space

[MrsBearshark]

Hello,

 

I'm new to home designer pro, and have been having a hard time creating a second story deck over a main level conditioned space in a way that shows both the roof framing for the main level, and the 2x sleepers of the deck framing.  Is it possible to do this?  or do I have to choose one or the other?  So far, I have been able to create a roof over the main level (shed with 1/4" per foot slope), but I can't then draw a deck over that and not have issues with the framing diagrams. The roof construction will be 11 7/8" TJIs slightly rotated to create a drainage slope, with plywood and EPDM membrane above. On top of that will be 2x sleepers cut with a slight slope to match the roof so that there is a flat surface for the deck.  In one location, there will be a porch below rather than an interior room, but the roof/deck construction will be the same.  What is the best way to achieve an accurate model of this?

 

Thanks for your help!

Rename the deck to a balcony or porch

The program does not want to do what you want it to do.

 

It does not understand a deck over a roof.

 

I imagine no one has replied because there is no simple answer.

 

You are getting a warning, not an error and you can check do not show again.
