  1. I cannot figure this out. I have spent in excess of 8 hours on this, referenced the manual, watched videos, still nothing. I would think it would be simple to just adjust the three elevations and it would all work, but it does not. Just one example, the area 3' from the garage front is supposed to dip 3", but instead it raises up. I really don't know how I got this first rendition but I think it was pure luck. It seems the program gets confused when your slope changes direction. The three items in the green boxes are what I'm trying to change. I want to change the garage elevation from 1964.33' to 1967.328' I want the 3" dip to go from 1964.08' to 1967.078' I want the point 23' from the garage to go from 1966.08' to 1969.078'. I want everything else to remain the same, with the exception of the slope which will change accordingly, if all works. What tools do I need to do this since going in and changing the elevation lines is not working? Home Designer Pro 2021. Untitled 1.zip
  2. I am looking for an experienced Drafter to convert our Home Designer Pro plan into full Chief Architect Construction Drawings for a new home build in Fountain Hills, AZ. I will require that I am able to open Chief Architect floor plans that you create with the latest version of Home Designer Pro - currently 2020. You must be local to the Fountain Hills, AZ surrounding area so that you can work with Fountain Hills for approvals.
  3. I just purchased Home Designer Pro 2016. I'm going to be designing my retirement home so I have five years to knock this out. I'm starting from ground zero. I don't know the difference between 'bear on beams - lap', 'bear on beams - butt over support', 'blocking - in line', 'blocking - stagger', etc. And this is just but ONE default screen I'd like to complete correctly. Is there any ONE construction book that I could buy that would explain differences and that would maybe explain the advantages of one construction/framing technique over another technique? I'm going to need a book that addresses everything, floors, ceilings, roofs, foundations, etc. I'm sure that once I get this complete I'll still need an engineer to finalize everything, but I'd like to have the fun of knowing what is specified and then if the engineer changes something we'll be able to talk the same language.
