chammons922 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I've been wanting to design a house that is "round" by way of being a regular polygon with multiple (20) eight-foot wall segments. A Deltec house, if anyone here is familiar with that. I've not found an easy way to edit the very specific allowable wall angles for so many different walls. Suggestions?

DBCooper Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Build->Wall->Polygon Shaped Room Enter the number of sides and the side length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chammons922 Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 I can't find this option Build > Wall > Polygon Shaped Room. I have Home Designer Pro 2024. Is this option not available with my version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Probably not available in HD Pro. See if you have the tool for polygon decks. Then you could change the deck rails into walls (making sure to change the wall type to something more appropriate) and then change the deck room type into something else. If not, see if you have the cad tool under boxes. Then you could draw your walls snapped to the cad lines. If not, you should still be able to lay it out manually. Just set each wall length first and then the angle going around clockwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chammons922 Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 It's there but it's crude. Hopefully an indoor variant of this feature will be added in future versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I have to manually go in and try and convert the floor of the deck and each section of railing to try and make interior with a roof? My pop up window does not say "New Regular Polygon" like yours does. It says "New Polygon Shaped Deck". There is no option to create an interior space as a regular polygon in any submenu.

Yes, but it's only a few extra steps to adjust and still a lot easier than trying to manually draw 20 walls at necessary angles. Just need to use it to create the polygon shaped deck, then change the rails to walls and deck to a room. After making your polygon deck, open the deck room and change it from a Deck to whatever other room type, that changes the floor/ceiling/etc. Even just making it an Unspecified room should do all that. Had to make sure Home Designer has this tool, looks like it does: https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00624/group-selecting-objects.html Select one of the railings, use the Marquee Select Similar this article mentions at the bottom, then Select All, open them and uncheck Railing, then set their wall type to something more appropriate. 2 hours ago, chammons922 said: My pop up window does not say "New Regular Polygon" like yours does Disregard this, he showed a different (but very similar and related) tool that make a CAD polygon in the same manner.
