I am not aware of any premade Hexagon rooms ,but check you dimensions are set the same, usually they snap to the main layer (framing) but you may have temp. Pro10 doesn't do Sip Roofs, think this came up recently in another thread ( do a search) and they are problematic,not sure even Chief Does them? LOL.Ģ5" Samsung T260 SyncMaster LCD, AMD Radeon 3800 Video.ĭavid, Rich ,JoAnn etc may have some thoughts and I can't answer the 2015 question as like you I have Pro10 butĪttic Walls are automatic and cant be turned off. I might add this particular project is pro bono but it could lead to a few paying jobs if I could be more efficient. I.e.: a) auto attic walls on-off SIP roof option c) Better object generation (like a hex room).Ģ) Would Pro2015 provide improvements in flexibility to help me though this and other projects like this? There is no option for a SIP roof in Pro 10, so I have to manually revise the cupola roof Owner doesn't want framing under it.Į) the plans ultimately would have to be reviewed by the county so flaws are problematic.ġ) So I come to the question, have I overlooked a useful feature in Pro10 to resolve any or most of these issues? I cannot make all of the sides of the 6 ft-on-a-side Hexagon absolutely the same dimension, even though the 120º angle is achieved.Ĭ) Since the floor of the cupola is to be elevated above the second floor ceilings, I cannot prevent the attic walls from distorting the module and/or changing the characteristics of the SIP walls.ĭ) The roof of the cupola is to be 3/12 because of height restriction, while the existing house is 5.5/12 pitch. Seems it cannot be disabled and the close ones snap to the new cupola walls and make for regeneration errors. The floor will be suspended from the ridgepole & rafters and stabilized with joists to nearby attic walls.Ī) The automatic attic walls are my biggest impediment in this design case. The cupola is to be mounted upon (straddling somewhat) the massive log ridge-pole and tied also to the associated 4X12 rafters at the apex of the roof. SIPs have been chosen for the hexagon cupola as it is to be added to an existing home in a high wind environment.
The issues become time wasters as I've been at this for days without being able to make a complete presentation.Īs an example I attached an illustration of the design that has multiple flaws and is incomplete at this time. I have found (and not just recently) that certain automatic functions of Pro10 are both frustrating and time-consuming when trying work-arounds. Recently a contractor friend asked me to undertake a design to add a cupola to his two-story log home. I have also over the past 3-4 years or so designed several models of walkout basement homes and made good use of the miriad features in HD Pro10. I have HDPro10 and used it successfully to design and implement a major remodel of a spec house. I thought I posted this a few days ago but I can't find it. This kinda on topic so forgive me if I expose too much of my naivete.
