BorisGodunov Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Hello! I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix this roof problem in Home Designer Pro 2019. I've done much more complicated/larger roofs, and never had the problem shown here where the floor 3 roof planes don't fully generate and just stop at a certain height. They are 20" pitch, and don't have a 2nd pitch chosen. The roof for the big square tower isn't generating at all (would be floor 5). (I tried to upload the home plan file itself, but kept getting an "Error Code -200" message, so had to settle for jpegs). Thanks for any help!

DavidJPotter Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Manually connect their ridges and using the "Break Line tool" where necessary. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 In Pro 2019, 3 floors could have been the max the program allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 What is error code 200? Did you decorate inside the structure and the file is too large to post? If you would post a jpeg of the floor plan, maybe someone could replicate it. You also should fill out your signature. Rookie65: Pro 2019 does allow 5 floors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Answers often depend on which title (Suite, Pro etc) and version (2018, 2019 etc) you are using. You can help everyone by adding that info to your signature (see below for how to turn them on) by clicking on your user name at the top right of the page, click Account Settings, then Signature on the left. Doing so makes it always available, and keeps others from having to hunt for it. And, turn on signature display too. ---- Many questions have been asked and answered.

I've no idea what that error code is. There's no interior floor plan--almost no interior walls at all even, it's mostly just exterior walls. The plan file is well under the 14mb size limit, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I'll try to keep uploading it, but I did get a capture of the 3rd floor here.

solver Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 This is from Pro 2020 -- I don't have 2019 installed. Just opened the file. No changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 That is strange. It builds in Pro 2020, but NOT in Pro 2019. The square tower on level 5 with no roof, is causing the problem. Delete level 5, and the roof builds. Go down to level 4, and raise the ceiling in the tower, and the roof will not build completely, again. Although Pro 2019 allows 5 floors, could there be a height limit??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorisGodunov Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 solver: thanks for checking that. Jo_Ann: I actually still experienced the problem even deleting the 5th floor of the tower. It can't be a height limit, I've done designs with towers like that before in the program without issue. In fact, this plan is a reworking of another with almost the exact same layout where the issue did not occur. It is very strange! Would that I had upgrading to 2022 in my budget...

BorisGodunov Posted March 15 Author Share Posted March 15 Okay, I've found where the problem is occurring, but still no idea why. See the attached images. I copied the first floor into a new file, and it was still not rendering the upper roof. I started deleting wall bits piecemeal, and lo and behold: it's something to do with the upper right protrusion. When I delete it, the roof generates as it should. Is there any way to figure out why this is happening? Again, I have an earlier version of this floorplan where that part of the house is identical, yet it did not have a problem with the roof autobuild. Thanks!

Rookie65 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It looks like the protrusion on the left image is a straight wall, while the image on the right shows that area being stepped. So maybe the wall wasn't aligned with the correct walls below? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
