CoastlineFl Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I’m trying to draw walls over my porch, just as part of the covered porch. Tried doing t second floor but gives problems. Any help is appreciated. See attached drawing. The columns end at the dashed line with 3’ wall to the roof line. Bob x12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldesigns Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Are you trying to do what I shown on the attachment? If so, just raise the ceiling and so that your louver's fit above the door? I love this beach style of architecture BTW. Places like Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Watercolor Florida are inspirational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastlineFl Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Yes, very similar although yours looks more like a wall with a doorway. Mine is 12x12 block columns with a double 2x12 header on top and return to block wall. On top of the headers is wood framing to create the 3' wall over the porch.

joey_martin Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Draw it just like you would build it. Use a doorway and suppress the casing and the jamb and you are going to be left with an opening that looks just like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as Joey mentioned your columns are really just 4 walls of block with an exterior facade material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
