Something like this? I just took the middle cabinet, removed the toe kick, deleted the doors, made it an opening, and set the height to be 36" instead of 32"

They might just be polylines that you can delete. They don't look attached to anything

How did you draw the plan? Did you draw the existing, and then the addition? I save one version as the existing. Then I will copy the plan as the proposed and draw the addition on to it. Then you'll have the full house. If you've drawn them as separate plans, you should be able to copy and paste all of floors from one to the other. The kicker will be if the floors are on different levels. Meaning if the 1st floor is not set to "0" on both plans, aligning will be difficult.

I totally understand that happening. It's a bit confusing.

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
