  1. Steve, are you using jamb extensions on your build/design? What you are revealing is the drywall. If you use jamb extensions or want to show it as such then make window frame fit to wall. Then you would use positive number for reveal. In the attachment jamb on left is your window untouched and on right is frame fit to wall with 3/8" reveal also recessed to sheathing layer.

  2. For your columns delete top ones and set the height of bottom ones to what you had for the top ones and they will be one continuous column.

    For the sloped ceiling uncheck has ceiling in room structure dbx. Alternative if you don't want ceiling on underside of roof would be to put two ceiling planes over veranda.

  3. Michael, draw a poly line with overhang length, slope(whatever pitch you require) and vertical for your height. Start with your lowest pitch and change the slope. The resulting length of the vertical will be what you want I believe. Just repeat for the pitches that you want. This would assume your horizontal line is Top of Plate height.

     

    I think that would give you what you want if I understand correctly. No approximating because vertical line length will be exact. Only thing you need to do is adjust the slope angle and maintain 90 degrees on vertical.

  4. If you want to just show floor plans and elevations etc.. without the 3d views just load pdf on the tablet. I usually load some pics of raytraces of different views but show a pdf for plans. I used to take the laptop but clients think making plans is real easy if you start shifting walls etc.. they don't always understand that it takes more than that to create the plans. 

  5. I believe you are limited to what you see. However you can switch the window to be a double casement or triple if that works for you. The other option would be to put your own walls and windows as needed.
