Improving a Home Designer Architectural 2025 plan

I totally understand that happening. It's a bit confusing. -
Improving a Home Designer Architectural 2025 plan

This is the Chief Architect forum. For Home Designer, please post in the Home Designer forum. https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/ It will also be helpful to have a signature so people will know what version and year program you are using. Then you can delete this post. -
And it was suggested to lower the floors to drop them down to align with the terrain. Plus there were other suggestions at the same time. If the terrain drops 40" or whatever, then set floor one to -40

Isn't this the same thing you asked about on 2/11?
-
Maybe it's not the dog ear, yet I thought one of the arches is more flexible on the size of each leg. I'm not on the computer to check right now.

Try a dog ear arch. Up here it's called a clipped corner door. Chamfer usually refers to something done to an edge along the length

You won't be able to change one pitch to something different if you have auto-build roof on. You're not very clear on what you are trying to match up. If you want the rear wall to be where the roofs start, then change the fascia to the same heights, lock it, then change the pitch of the middle roof, if that's the one you want to change.
-
Change the pitch right in the roof defaults. Spend some time reading the reference manual
-
With the picture you showed, it looks like the 2 sides are the same height, while the middle is taller. So set the 2 side rooms to whatever rough ceiling is needed, and the middle room taller. You can keep the pitch the same for all of the roofs.
-
Looks like 3 shed roofs. Nothing to over think about it. Adjust the room heights for each room, set your pitch, and off you go.

Please post questions under the "Q&A" section. You'll get more activity there. This section is for people to post the tips and techniques they've found to help others.

If the terrain is sloped, then the main floor level needs to be lowered to keep it in relation to the grade. That's what I meant by lowering the floors. Adjust the subfloor levels in the negative direction to where it needs to be

Lower the floors

One Layout, Two Plans, Can I merge the plans into one plan?
Rookie65 replied to Ed_Orum's topic in General Q & A
Might just be safer to send both plans to the same layout. Then any changes to one don't affect the other. That's my 2 cents anyway. -
Her asking for the CAD file "ASAP' would be a big red flag! If you've already done the work, and it's perfect, why wouldn't she just have asked "When do you think you could have the finished plan done?" I agree with winterdd. Let her take it if she's paid you for your time, etc., pat her on the head on her way out, and be glad it's not your headache now.
