portico and skirt roof

[jomax77]

Hello, first time user here.  I originally created a model of our home with a portico and wrap around skirt roof on the first floor (using Rhino 3D).  I recreated the model in Home Designer Pro and am really impressed with this software.  I am stuck on how to make the portico and wrap around skirt roof.  I tried making an invisible railing room for the portico, but had trouble making the roof planes.  I have no idea how I would go about making the the wrap around skirt roof either.

Post edited, signature and profile updated.  I have checked the knowledge base and that is where I got the tips for making an invisible railing room.  Is there a way to just draw a roof profile or would I need to create an invisible room all around the front of the house for the skirt roof?

What, exactly do you mean by the terms "portico and wrap-around skirt roof"? Are your porticos curved or square? Can you post an image of something similar (pictures are more valuable than words).?

Pro has manual roof tools that may be used to create the skirt roof. Using invisible walls and setting the room they create to Open Below will also work.

Here is the image of the wrap around roof and portico I am trying to make on the first floor, from the deck and going to the left of the house.  I have also attached my Home Designer Pro File.
