Hi, I have Floor Plans that are2D that I created in AutoCad and have imported into Home Designer Pro 2021. Can I add and modify to these floor plans after loading. I watched the video of importing/exporting drawings but that was using Chief Architect Premier with Cad walls which HD Pro does not have. Is there a video that can help me with continuing to work on this floor plan as is or will I need to have a PDF of it and trace it. Can I make this into 3D by tracing the imported floor plan? Thanks

As you said, there "is not CAD to Walls" tool in Home Designer. What you CAN do is to make sure the imported PDF or .dwg is properly scaled once imported, orient that PDF or imported AutoCAD drawing to O-Y/0X in HD in plan view and then trace over the PDF or imported drawing using HD's 3D tools to start to obtain a 3D model in Home Designer, then add windows and doors etc and make perfect using dimension tools in HD. Then add roofs etc.
