Like they said Change the porch wall pitches, one thing you will need to change the front and back porch rails, in the roof tab to have upper pitch set at the house roof pitch or it will make the house the pitch of the porch. This is auto roofs all the way. You do have to have a 2nd floor in the tall part. I have it set to 24' ceiling height and made a small room in the middle for the shed dormer. 

I have used Wall Material Regions to make angled soffits.

I believe you will have to figure it out, I put a cad line at my first and last pier and drag between them.

Good evening, Geoff I see you got your roof planes fixed. I'd like to connect with you and give you a quote for your project. I would do the work in Chief X14, and you can make changes in HDP 2023. Give me a call, thanks.

Hi David, I have Home Designer Pro 2021 but not Architectural. I’m not sure how much difference there is in the roof tools but I would like to help you out. Thanks. Gary Bills 681-439-1216

@K-LynnLike Mark said the Chief file is what is needed, not a dwg. I was able to copy over your dwg to maybe get close to what you have. See attached picture and notes that might help you get the terrain.

You can break the bottom of the attic wall and shape it to match the ceiling. @chrisb22 I tried to set it to roof cuts bottom, but it cut to the bottom of the roof and not the ceiling.

You can manually draw an attic wall to get a wall in the gable end if you're wanting it closed in with cathedral ceiling inside.

These are 4'10". The owner wanted to drop the ceiling enough to have 12" for extra insulation. Here is the section.

Chris is correct about attic trusses; I just finished this bonus room over Master Suite addition.

Hi Brigitte, I'd like to talk about your project, and I sent you a message age.

Try using the Edit Area, copy everything on floor 0 and paste hold position to page 1, then delete everything on page 0. 3D solid to extend the concrete under the post. On the stone I opened each cabinet, selected material, selected the stone and opened it then closed it, and it changed. Well after I posted this, I noticed some of the stone changed back to horizontal.

Something like this? I made a copy in place of the side roofs and adjusted the parts over the porch to be separate roof plains. Then set up the roof planes for rafter tails.

@PitMan71I had the same results on a test plan in x16 and x17 bata, it just happens on the right side. It happened in my test plan when one room (entry) has a higher ceiling and the roof builds above the main roof and only with eave marked square cut. I turned in a bug report in x17 bata so you might want to send in one for x16.

@PitMan71In the plan view you can turn on the roof trim layer, select the Frieze molding and edit the size of the Bay. Use the disconnect selected edge tool in the edit toolbar to disconnect it from the others. I'm not sure why the one wall in the Gym is not building the frieze but you can select the frieze on the back wall and extend it around the corner.

@HivelyDesignI would be glad to help you out if you haven't found anyone yet, I actually just did a plan today for someone. Thanks.

@LotzCCTry these settings on the auto roof return of the front invisible wall. I'm not sure why the full return had one side correct and one not, but this seems to work.

That is an auto full roof return set up on the invisible wall.

Check your wall layer intersections on the first-floor invisible wall.

@just3northTry using 2 pass-throughs and set the frame to mitered. I had to place the pass-throughs first and size them to fit the fireplace, then placed the fireplace. If I try resizing the pass-throughs after the fireplace it puts the post back in the corner like you said. .

@MelanieNC contact me and I’d be glad to discuss your roof project. Thanks. Gary

You're trying to put a skylight in four different roof planes and a valley and two hips. That won't work.

@GeneDavisI thought the OP was about the depth of the Mullion not the width. @johnny

Look up Mullion in Help and it shows that the Mullion depth can only be set when a mulled unit is selected. I don't see a default setting for it.

I had that on one the other day and the gable end overhangs were off by 1/4" and that caused it.
