this is what I get when I do autoroof.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Yes

When I select create wall/footing below in the porch wall dialog box it creates the foundation wall but it puts a 1-1/2" offset in my basement wall (see picture). Why is it doing this and how do I fix it without turning auto foundation off?

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?

Here is the plan uploaded again. Untitled 1.zip

I am trying to get my porch roof to tie into the main roof as per the attached picture. I have tried using dutch gable walls and it seems to work in some areas but it screws up other areas. Here is my file. house.plan

when I turned on the "Walls, Layers" it worked. Thanks.

Here is a screenshot of my wall type definition screen.
