Twowheels Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Home Designer Architectural 2021- Build 22.3.0 Greetings- hesitated to post what is something I should have been able to figure out but see that others struggle with roofs as well. In attached file in "Kitchen/LIving room", there is a cathedral ceiling. The side over "Living" draws correctly but side over "Kitchen" is interrupted by roof framing from extension "laundry/Entry" extending into "Kitchen". For reference trying to redraw architects drawing into HD so I can work on interior layouts. Appreciate any help...probably goes without saying that I've spent hours and hours trying to figure this out on my own.

Jo_Ann Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The only way to fix that (with Architectural) is to cover it with a sloped soffit. I recommend adding the soffit on the attic level, then lowering it to where it needs to be. Putting it on the attic level prevents it from blocking your doll house view of that area.

Twowheels Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hi Solver, Sorry about leaving out this image but thought the other two would be more helpful. I did try Jo_Ann's solution but not able to get that to work without it moving other walls/roof planes. If this image helps with any other suggestions, that would be great. Thank you, Scott (BTW- I did select in Settings to show my signature but don't see it here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A soffit should have no effect on these items and is the standard way of dealing with this problem. Here is another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The sloped soffit works. You're just not doing something right. You also have a big problem with the new walls you defined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twowheels Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hi Jo_Ann, Thanks for follow up note. I have no doubt that the sloped soffit works, but I am not able to make it happen. This is my first HD project so everything is new. Would it be possible to let me know what you mean by "You also have a big problem with the new walls"? Appreciate you taking the time to help.

Twowheels Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hi Solver, Very generous of you to spend time creating that YouTube. Went through it once to see how to do it (and will update my model later today) but you used several menu items that I am not familiar with and will now take the opportunity to explore those and learn. Many thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Organize your wall layers correctly, so that the exterior walls will display correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
