Thanks @solver!

Hello, I have been battling with tweaking dimensions on my plans, and seem to have introduced a glitch. I want the garage Y dimensions to be even to the 1/2", but when i manually enter them they always add 1/16th. Just seems to be for my garage for some reason, I know it is lower than main floor, not sure if that has something to do with it. Please take a look at the attached plan. Thanks!

@JiAngelo Wow! Thanks for the detailed solution! I am finding CA to be a great tool, but with greatness comes great responsibility, lol. Easy to work yourself into corners if you don't know all the dependencies. I really appreciate the guidance, hopefully I can make it all come together. At $200 a month I felt rushed to complete my home plans, maybe an architect would have been the way to go! Cheers! -Ben

Ok, its a mess right now because I am learning as I go, but here it is. Thanks! HousePlan working.zip

great suggestions with lots of details. I think one problem is I am trying to do many "non-standard" things at once like modeling 6" of rigid foam on the roof, 3" on the walls and I have bonus room over the garage with the foundation for the garage 16" lower than the rest of the house. only way that seemed to work for me was to set the garage floor at 0 and the rest of the house at 16", which is creating some issues i am fighting when using auto anything. I tried making main floor at 0 and garage at -16" but it kept fighting me. Also have vaulted ceiling to deal with in back of house mixed with another shed roof porch, etc.. It's been a steep learning curve for me, so I wanted to autoroof as much as possible, but finding it may be a challenge, and i keep failing at manual roof. Anyway, i will try starting over with your suggestions. Thanks.

the dormer is for looks only, not open to below. I will try your suggestions, thanks!

Hello, new here, learning as I go. I have attempted to create the roofline in this live home 3d screenshot that I made without much trouble in that program. However I have been scouring for tutorials to find a good lesson on how to achieve this look in CA. Specific areas I am struggling with are how to get the false upper room built with the short wall and gable end dormer. Does anyone have a sample plan file I can look at or know of a tutorial to achieve this? Thanks,
