mark2457 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi All Using HD Pro 2021 I finished basement and 1st floor, now I need to layout the interior of the attic. As you can see from attached the pix, it has knee walls and a vaulted ceiling with collar ties The roof goes all the way down to the original hip walls (i.e. first floor ceiling). The current attic in HD has no ceiling or floor. When I add a half wall for one of the knee walls I get a message saying I probably want to add another floor, but not sure how, as the wall height at the exterior is actually 0" How should I do this? Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you added one to see what happens? Are you using manual or auto roofs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2457 Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Thanks for quick reply. I'm using auto roofs. Added a second floor with abs ceiling height same as floor. Seems to have added more brick for new joists, but it's got sistered joists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Manual roofs would be simpler, but review these options to get the roof to build where you want.

mark2457 Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 I had those options. I can live with a few inches of wall being added: the model is for visualization of remodel of 2nd floor (attic) (not for plans or materials) I added some interior walls and they are a few inches high. Seems like I need Open above or something First Floor No Stairs or Cabinets - Ext Steps and Basement - test floor 3.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
