MVRobert Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I'm using Pro 2022 to look at options for a Master Bedroom addition to my existing Cape Cod style house. I started by drawing the as built plan, which includes a second floor. When I draw the addition, I am unable to draw a second floor over it. If I try to add a floor, the program adds a 3rd floor over the existing house. Is what I want to do even possible? Thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVRobert Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 I draw the four walls to define a room on a second floor over the addition, but the walls don't display on 3D. Ceiling height for the room seems correct, defaults for ceilings seem correct, resetting to defaults and rebuilding walls does nothing. Turning on auto rebuild roof (turned off previously to allow a shed dormer to display correctly) builds a new second roof over the addition. The original roof over the addition remains. The second roof appears to be at the proper height, but the walls still don't display. I tried to attach the zipped plan files, but it's larger than the 14 MB allowed.

All someone needs is the structure. No plants, cars, furniture ... And a note pointing to the problem area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Most likely, when you drew the new walls on the 2nd floor, you did not draw over the existing attic wall. Therefore, it is still an attic wall, and is set as having a "no room definition". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVRobert Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 The problem is with the structure on the left side of the plan. Second Floor Issue.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 You need to be more specific describing the problem. Maybe attach an image or two so we see what you see. This is what I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Here is a suggestion on connecting the two structures. If you have the room, move the addition over and create a connector space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVRobert Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 The problem I'm asking for help with is the display (or lack thereof) of the walls for the second floor of the addition. As I said previously, I can define the room over the 1st floor of the addition, but the walls do not display on the 3D view. So, Eric, what you see is, in fact, the problem. The 2nd floor walls are defined on the plan, but do not display on the 3D view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVRobert Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 It was the manual roof planes that were keeping the walls from displaying as I expected they would. Thank you Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
