Make it two different roof plans and set the pitch manually.

copyright issues?

Just make a roof plane, open the dbx and set the pitch to what you want. You can then take a section view and adjust the roof plane until is looks in the section view like what you want. Parapet can be a wall on a separate floor or a polyline solid or even a wall below with the roof pulled back to allow it to pass through. It might take some manual wall adjusting.

I did not look at the plan but the usual culprit is room definitions. Make sure everything is set to default in the structure tab for the rooms and check that the default settings for rooms is set to what you want. I suspect that disconnecting the wall is causing the rooms to change to a different room type.

your posting this in the wrong part of the forum.

Just re-shoot it and move the mouse around until it is in the same general area.

Sink may have been placed and then cab size made to small to work with that sink.

Probably something to do with your wall definitions or even the default room definition. It may think you have created a new room between the 2 walls.

You can also place cad lines perpendicular to the wall and dimension to those instead of the wall layer. I snap the line to the wall intersection point then move it to the closest 1/8" increment. You still need to use the parallel tool for the dimension line.

You guys can't really be suggesting that it is ok to build a wall 11' tall with a hinge point at 9'. You might want to ask an engineer about that. Forget about weather ca can do it. Is it a good idea in the real world?

You may have manually defined the ceiling plane of a room that is higher than the default for the floor. Just a guess though with the info you provided.

Turn all layers on and look at the array of curved attic walls that show up. These are preventing your normal walls on level 2 from connecting. Delete the offending attic walls and it will work.

How on earth would a crew know how to build a house without the weatherstripping showing up on a plan?

Mark is spot on with the suggestion to use items from the library and call it close enough.

Maybe that plan has an errant default setting. Defaults are plan specific.

I seriously doubt you have it "99% complete". That comment might make scare the competent users away from you. It is code for "crazy guy".

I did not load plan so this is based on pictures you posted. Maybe the wall with the garage door should continue over inside the turret. Without doing that, it would be hard to get a proper sized portal frame for brace wall.

I have noticed it also. I'm glad you sent it in.

I do not have a cheat sheet but I do have a suggestion. If you hold the mouse arrow over the icon without clicking, it will pop up a short text description of what the icon does.

Almost all text.

It is under the structure tab for floor.

Tough to know without plan but I have a guess. You may have a 2nd floor in play at that point. If so, tell the room definition to be "open below".

Click on the roof plane tool and draw in a manual roof. It helps if you create a cad line first with the exact distance you want the roof to extend. Then you can create the manual roof plane from that line toward the house. Stop the roof plane at the siding, not the framing.

Save a screen shot as a jpeg. Then you can import it into the plan.

It will quickly go the way of the avocado colored appliances.
