Thanks for the reply. Yes, my friend wants a material and buy list. The posts are 5 1/2x5 1/2 and the girts are on the out side. I'm not a pro so I don't understand what you mean by building a wall on top of it with posts being centered. Are you placing the "normal" in between the the studs?

I have drawn a friends pole building with the existing outside walls with 6x6 studs at 96" and horizontal girts. Now he is going to add living space in parts of it and is going to drywall 3 of the existing outside walls. He plans to add 2x6 studs in between the 6x6's at 16" OC. How do I create this wall? In the wall definitions adding 2x6's just adds an other layer and increases the width of the wall. Thanks in advance.

Thank you. Both issues solved.

Hey everyone Amateur here. Helping a friend design living space in part of a pole building. I have 2 questions. 1. I created the pole building walls and they work fine. I made a copy and added drywall for the ones that will be in the living space. The drywall is not showing on any of the renderings. 2. I used molding polylines to show the rough in for the water drains for the main floor as they exist. I added proposed water drains for the second floor as he wants it set up. But all of them show on the main level. I can't get the ones on the second floor to show on the second floor. Any help would be appreciated Fotis. Andys Pole Building - Copy.zip

I have it on CA16

It worked. Thank you.

I have a fairly complex floor plan and after having auto build a roof I had to make some(lot) of manual changes. Changed some to gable and some to hip. Somewhere along it roof got pretty messed up. When I delete all the roof planes and try to recreate it I get the same messed up roof. Is there a way, after I delete all roof planes, to reset all the walls back to default so I can auto build roof again like it was before all the manual changes.

Thank you

I want to add an addition to a As Built plan that has a roof that was mostly manually created. I believe I saw a video of a way I can use Auto Roofs on the addition without changing the manually created ones, but I can't find it. I believe there was a setting for the manually created roofs so they are not changed. Can anyone either tell me how to do it or point me to the video. Thanks in advance

Thank you. This helps a lot.

How do I increase the size of the fascia, and not as important since the plan is just to use it for reference for the addition, how would I use a real dormer instead of the false roof gable?

This is how far I've gotten. Does anyone have any suggestions to get it closer to the actual pictures. Wendel OP House As Built.plan

Thank you for the video suggestion. That got me to layout the shell of the house. Unfortunately the false gables are just that. No room inside. This house has a second floor (loft). Would like to get a more accurate drawing.

Help needed I'm a casual user and can't figure out how to build this roof. I want to build this house as an as build to add an addition for a friend. The roof is just beyond my skill level, so any help would be appreciated. I have added pictures of the front and back of the house. Thank you in advance.
