Remove ceiling rafters

[ElliotG]

We are enclosing an existing car port that already has a ceiling and a roof. How do we remove the ceiling rafters that seem to be automatically added when adding a wall?

Maybe go into display and turn off roof and ceiling framing.

Sorry to appear (or be) slow - but I don't see any "Display" menu or option in Home Designer? I have tried to delete roof but as it is really a ceiling, it doesn't work. I don't see any option ot even work on a ceiling. thoughts?

Which version of the software are you using? Filling out your signature will let people help easier when we know what version and year of the software you're using. Questions should be posted in the "Q&A" section so more people will see them. Tips and Techniques is where you post things you have learned that may help others.

If your project doesn't have a ceiling, delete it in the structure tab. Then the roof framing will act as your ceiling framing also. As a side note, your stairs look way off, so those setting may need to be reviewed as well.

Turning of the framing is done in the "display options" tab. You can select what items to show in each camera view.

It would benefit you greatly to spend some time reviewing the reference manual or help tab available on each page.

That makes sense...I updated my signature.

Home Designer 2025 - definite novice.

 

I bounced around the tutorials quite a bit but some answers were not really easy to follow. But will play with the tab help.

 

Thanks,
