Good morning, I sent you a PM, if you haven't found anyone to help you out, give me a call or email. Thank You.

Hey Jason, I marked your porch as no Ceiling, and it fixed your problem. Then you will have to draw in a ceiling plane for the porch. I'm not sure why it's doing that!!!!!!

This was X14 This is x15 with set to 0, it's lowering the raise off plate X15 if you raise the Heel Height to 4 3/16"

Hi Adam, I would like to talk to you about helping with you project. I'll be away all weekend but will be back Monday, if you would like to talk just give me a call or email me. I'm in West Virginia but work remotely with people all over the country. Thank You and have a good day.

You can set the default exterior walls, default foundation stem wall and terrain and it will build automatically.

One more thing, the invisible wall on the left porch I had to make it upper pitch to match the other front porch walls. One more thing, the side porch wall I marked high shed gable. I think that’s all.

There were other things that I did, the roof default was set to 12/12 which I changed to 6/12. I checked walls to make sure they were mark the correct pitch. The two walls with the 8/12 pitch, one was marked 6/12 and the other was marked 12/12 so I changed them. The reason I lowered the porches was because with them the same as the house it want to match the 8/12 roofs to the porch pitch, I’ve never had to do that before? You might compare my version to yours and play around with the wall to see what I changed.

Also your signature says x12 but it would only open in x15.

Check this out, auto roofs is turned on. I set up the roofs and I had to drop the porch ceiling height 1" to get the center Gable to work on 8/12 pitch so I hope this is what you wanted. Devlin-Varin house.zip

Hi Tony, I sent you an email and would like to talk about helping you with your plans. Thanks you.

For the deck make sure the build deck framing is on and the layers or turned on in your 3D views. Edit your deck railing to be post to beam or post to ceiling. The patio walls showing on second floor are probably Attic walls, if so turn off the attic wall layers in plan view.

I’m interested and sent a PM with my $0.02

I’ve designed several in the last year. Its according to what your plan is. Do you want pole barn framing, conventional framing or steel framing, like clear span or cold form steel. I have plans for all these and could probably make you a template plan. Shoot me an email if you’d like to talk about it.

Something different. Bocce Ball court in Florida.

In your plan it looks like the top of your garage floor is above the top of the stem wall. The door is not in the foundation to cut it.

You can make 5 pages; I turned off all layers and then turned on the ones I want to show on page 1. Send that to Layout page one and then continue the same process for the remaining 4 pages. Not a good way and takes some time, but it's the only way I see doing it. Hope that helps.

Is the lower level defined as a deck? It looks like its a room other than a deck. I drew a quick house with two decks, one the lower is a deck and the other I marked Balcony and removed the floor finish to expose the OSB.

Hi Hugh, I would like to talk to you about you project. I sent a PM, so give me a call or email and we can talk about you plans. Thank You.

Check your wall type and see if the sidling is marked as framing. I’ve had that before.

Thanks, my email is below. garybills_9@yahoo.com

Yes, you will be able to do everything in X11.

If you can't find anyone, I can do it in Home Designer Pro 2020. You would have to go to Edit, default settings, plan and mark allow editing in select Home Designer Products. Gary Bills garybills_9@yahoo.com

Your gable wall is not in line with the wall below and what your seeing is the wall framing not a truss. Line the walls and the framing will rebuild. You can make a new wall type for the gable walls and remove the drywall in the wall type specification. If you want end trusses draw a truss at the ends and mark the end truss and check force truss rebuild. You will probobly then have to turn off auto wall framing and manually delete the end gable framing.

I made some notes that might help you set things up. Hope it helps. s.
