Ok cancel everything... I just figured out how to do this... I may have cheated but its working... I went to the Library Browser and found a column and placed 4 of them in there. I may not be engineered or legal but I am just trying to show potential contractors what I want done... Here we go....

Thanks DB and Gene... I have the posts but lost my ceiling and cant get it back...

Morning all, I found one CA article that details how to build a room with columns, but it does not appear to be working for me for some reason. So far, I went a different route and and built a room with invisible walls... Im trying to spec out a second patio cover to start gathering bids. Any easy ways to get those columns to appear? I dont mind redoing the rooms. And lastly, if someone knows how to create a louvered wall, that would be awesome...

Thanks Eric- Im trying that but the way each room upstairs is setup, its like a loft so Im missing something These red lines, show the actual room size (approximate). I will look at your link and see if that helps.

(CA x13) Hey guys, I havent been on here in a while and just been working on a house plan that we would like to build. Found a house, love the layout but cant figure out how to draw the upstairs with the big sloped roof as you see... Here is the actual house and then my attempt.... (Very rough, so no laughing) Not sure how to build out those gable-ended loft areas. (3 in total)

Thanks DB, or should I call you Dan? I am using the CA "Lake-Point" plan on CA13 and reconfiguring it so Im not sure where Scott built the stairs but I am guessing the 2nd or lower floor. I will try your suggestions later tonight and let you know what I come up with. Thank you.

Ok well that KINDA worked. I cant seem to eliminate or pull back the flooring so the first step is about 14" and as you go down the stairs, you will bump your head. How can I move or adjust that landing\flooring?

Actually I think I found it by moving the stairs from the lower floor, not the upper.

Seems like this should be pretty easy but when I try I its not working so I am sure I am doing something wrong. I would like to select these stairs and move them to the right, where the top of the stairs is flush with the wall (green line). What am I missing? Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

I cant figure this one out... I am buliding a little shack and was going to use 2"x6"x10' for my walls but keep ceiling height the same at 8ft. Allowing about 1.5' remaining on the walls with a vaulted ceiling in the "attic" or storage area. I've tried two methods; the 10ft studs I stated above, as well as 92 5/8' studs with a second floor and shrinking the second floor walls. Neither work for me, they always show the ceiling at the joint of where the wall meets the roofline. Hope these pix help...

Hey Brett, where are you in ID? I have a place in CdA and live in Spokane Valley. Im not an Architect, but can help give you some ideas if you are in my area. Do you need this engineered also? Will you need site survey? (GEO tech?). Im asking because I have been shopping all these same people and have a good list of who to use and who to stay away from. Let me know if you are near Coeur d'Alene, ID Jerrell

Sorry this happened to you. Ive actually had people argue with me that my computer setup that works 100% perfect with all Tracing, Win11 and other combos is not recommended by Chief and to not use it... yet it literally works flawlessly. They are on every board though... Reddit, Chief, etc. Just block, ignore and move on... :(

Also, this thread should be moved to General. @Dermot
