I guess I should have worded my question differently. I don't need to draw that exact house but a new house that has that same look. It will be built with rafters. Should I create a 2nd floor and then use dormers or how do I get an 8' wall on the back side of the house and a 0' wall on the front side?
-
What is the best way to draw the house in the attached picture? Create a 2nd floor with 0 ceiling height and then use dormers?
-
I know I can change the auto exterior dimensions to do this but I like to dimension to the center of windows/doors in the floor plan so that would mess that up.
-
Attached are two pictures. One shows the 30' dimension of the garage and the other picture shows the dimensions to the garage door openings. I use the auto exterior dimensions to get my overall dimensions and then I use a point to point dimension to get my openings. However, the opening dimensions keeps getting reset back to the overall 30' dimension? Why is this happening? It is not only this plan, it happens in my other plans as well.

auto roof...center portion of house with gable
Jambruins replied to Jambruins's topic in General Q & A
Thanks. I learned a few things in that video. I would like to have the center portion of my house have a gable roof all the way from front to back and the two side wings to have hip roofs and valley onto the gable roof. Like the attached picture. I have attached my file. DiStefano House.plan -

I have been trying to figure this out but I can't. Can anyone help? -
For some reason my deck rim joists have a graphite siding material applied to them. How do I change this? I am looking in the default setting but can't find it.

Is there a way to dimension porch columns without inserting my own columns? When I create a porch I know I can adjust the column spacing but what is the best way to place dimensions from column to column?

awesome, thank you. I will try it out. -
how to show floor joists lower than top of wall
Jambruins replied to Jambruins's topic in General Q & A
The walls are 10' tall and then the rafters will be on top of the wall with a 12:12 pitch. What should I set my rough and finished ceiling height as for the 2nd floor? I know I will uncheck the flat ceiling option. -
I am designing a garage with 10' walls but the floor joists will be installed two feet below the top of wall. Basically creating a 2' knee wall for the upper portion of the garage. When I put my stairs in it says they don't meet the floor of the above level. How do I get it so my stairs know the floor joists are 24" lower than the top of wall? I know I can just change the stairs manually but if I do that and select the auto stairwell it won't create the opening in the floor above because it says the stairs don't reach that level.

auto roof...center portion of house with gable
Jambruins replied to Jambruins's topic in General Q & A
Attached is a picture of my floor plan. I created some invisible walls but I still can't get it to to work. The overall footprint is rectangular but that is because of the porches which should have a shed style roof. -

here is my file Beach House.plan -
How do I get autoroof to create the roofs like the attached picture. I can't get the gable roof to go from the front to the back.
-
Attached is a picture of what I am trying to do. The front of the house will have a 4' knee wall on the 2nd story but there will not be a knee wall on the rear wall. How would I do this? Thank you.
-
How do I get the three decorative beams as in the attached picture? I tried adding framing-post and that works for the center vertical post but how do I get the two angled ones? I need this to show up in the 3d view. I know I can add a polyline solid for the 2d elevation views.

Porch roof...gable in center with shed on sides
Jambruins replied to Jambruins's topic in General Q & A
I tried playing around with the options in the dbx but this is the only thing I can get close to what I want. I want the gable to not be as wide and the shed roofs to be wider. Also, the gable should have a steeper pitch than the shed roofs. -
start drawing a plan that is on the 2nd floor
Jambruins replied to crosscutter55's topic in General Q & A
You need to build a new floor. Select build new floor and derive 2nd floor from 1st floor. -
Is it possible to keep auto roofs on get a gable roof in the center of a porch with shed roofs on each side or do I have to turn auto roofs off and manually draw the gable roof? (See attached example picture).
-
See the attached picture. Why are some of my doors showing a line across the opening but some not?
-
I had tried that but it changed all my joists to 12" spacing. Once I added two more joist direction indicators (one on the left side and one on the right side of the area I wanted changed to 12" it worked perfectly. Thank you.

I need to change the floor joist spacing to 12" o.c. for one room in my basement (due to the span). I know I can undo auto floor framing and do it manually but is there a way to set it up so I can keep the auto framing on?
