High shed roof wall window issues

Good morning! I am stuck on what seems to be simple fix. I am drawing a simple 14 x 20 cabin with a shed roof. I can't get the framing to stop running through the windows on the high side. The back wall is 7', hence why the framing is running all the way around, but I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated! I'm using Home Designer Pro 2021.

Hello @SimpleSpaces,

 

It looks like that wall isn't set to follow its default top height, which is causing the framing to generate incorrectly. 

 

To fix this: 

1. Select the problem wall and open its specification

2. Go to the Structure panel and check the box for Default Wall Top Height

3. Rebuild your wall framing

 

I hope this helps!

THIS was one of my steps, so most likely your solution

Interesting. When I went back to my plan, that box was already checked (and I wasn't able to select it anyhow to turn it on or off). I'm not sure what's going on. I ended up manually adjusting the framing for now. Might be time for the upgrade... :) . Thank you very much for your help.

I think you have some walls set to use the default top and others that are not (probably because you manually changed the height in a camera view at some point).  If you pick a wall that is already set to the default top or bottom, then the checkbox will be disabled.

 

Try clicking on the wall tool and then using "marquee select" to select all of your walls in the plan and then you will be able to set them back to use the default wall top.  After that you will need to rebuild all of the framing (not just the walls because you have some floor framing that is sticking out past your walls too).

 

I'm pretty sure that HD Pro will work the same as Chief in this case but I don't know if your version is old enough that there might be some differences.  Probably lots of reasons to upgrade but this might not be one of them.
