DanatCV Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I have some attic walls that either won't frame, partially frame, or end up being balloon framed. Also, I have some framing going through windows. I tried to attach the plan file, but it exceeds the 25 Mb max. I'll try to post it separately. Suggestions?

DanatCV Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 The plan file is 30 Mbs so I can't attach it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copy it and delete everything but walls. 28 minutes ago, DanatCV said: I have some attic walls that either won't frame, partially frame, or end up being balloon framed. Also, I have some framing going through windows. Start by deleting all framing (Edit>Delete Objects). Turn on auto framing for walls, floors, roof etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanatCV Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Thanks for helping me, Eric. Attached is a temporary, stripped down version in a zip file. Small spec temp.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbcriss Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Did you get an answer? I'm far from knowledgeable on this, but have you tried a knee wall? They go up to the roof plane. Regular walls will go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanatCV Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Eric, I cannot thank you enough for all the time and expert advice you gave me!!! A few comments... The version of the house plan file I sent you was, by your request, stripped down to just the essentials. Looking back, I should have zipped the full plan as it zipped down small enough to post. As I wear all three hats (developer, architect & builder), I try to utilize Home Designer to its max and therefore do want to use the framing component, although I am finding a few limitations as well as a few bugs. But all-in-all, this software is the best I have found - especially for the price. So again, many thanks!!! You are a gentleman and a scholar!!!!
