derose Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I have a tall room with a cathedral ceiling. The 2nd floor over looks the tall room. I have the railing but can get the wall to fill in between the cathedral ceiling and the 2nd floor flat celing. I am using Home Designer Pro 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidJPotter Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 There is a lot of automatic actions in this software. Most of them operate (do what they do) mostly based upon Default settings. In your case it is that the Auto-generated Attic walls are not filling in where they are visually needed between your custom ceiling planes and the underside of the roof planes. The ONLY tool you have available in HD Pro are auto-generated or MANUALLY DRAWN attic walls. Soffits are not that customizable to fill unwanted holes like yours. The only tool you can apply that I can think of would be a attic wall or walls to close those holes manually (easier said, than done...). I tried for several minutes to do that and I failed. I now recommend that you submit your plan to Chief Architect Tech Support to see if perhaps they can come up with something that does work for your purposes. I hope that Eric or someone else gets a success for you, sorry. In Chief Premier X10, I have several options to fix the holes that do not exist in HD Pro, I was trying to fix it using just Pro tools but I found that did not work. If you like, I will fix your problem in X10 and repost the plan but you will NOT be able to alter that "fix" once you get the plan file back. Let me know, please.

derose Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 I would appreciate a fix, even if I can't edit it. What options does premier have that pro doesn't. I have been considering upgrading but haven't wanted to spend the money for it unless I get alot more features/tools. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you search around on the Home Designer website, (or contact sales) you can find a comparison PDF. It's a lot more money, but if you are a pro, I cannot imagine using Home Designer.

Rookie65 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I've been using Pro since 2013 for my design business and it is more than sufficient for my needs. I design additions, decks, houses, garages, etc. I've used it to produce over 720 plans and construction documents to date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK - so I use 'pro.'...successfully as a 'pro'.... Move the handrailing out of the way - build a wall in the opening and then shape it, viewing it in section/elevation, to the ceiling profile... Now install the handrailing back as it was. This could work I think. This is a suggested method....I dont like downloading users files.....otherwise I'd have a go for you with this as a solution.
