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. 

This is close with almost all auto roofs. I did this in X12, that's the farthest I go back.

Open the room specification, structure, floor finish to add a floor finish on top of the concrete.

Edit wall layer intersections for the wall issue other than the one piece of base. Make one roof plane and make it curved the break as needed to fit against silo. Did these in X15.

Hi John, I sent you an email. Thank you.

I sent you a PM, contact me and we can discuss helping you out with the dormer. Thanks.

You can also enlarge the text in the Active Layer Display Options, Roof Lables, Text Style.

I did a simple rectangular building, drew 1st floor, created 2nd floor with normal walls, see my roof setting's and this is my results using X13. No knee walls or attic walls and I raised the roof (you don't have to) to sit on joist and plate.

For one step you could make a L- shaped landing

Select the interior wall and then select the edit wall layer intersections. I know it’s available in Premiere x12 through x14 but not in Home Designer Pro.

Pm sent. Thanks
