New Problems with HD2014 Upgrade

[jjkirk]

I just upgraded from Home Architect 9 to Home Designer 2014 and have some new problems which have appeared.

I am trying to model Saint Mary's Basilica in Galveston, Texas.

When I use the full overview, there are some outjutting gables on one end which were not there before.

Also, it seems like phantom walls are appearing in the altar area. When I pivot the view, they can at times disappear and seem to have no thickness.

And, pivoting the camera upward shows shingles on the inside of the roof.

When using the dollhouse view, the walls are not shown.

Any help would be appreciated.

Exactly which title of the 2014 version do you have please? It is not clear to me from you posted images which are the "phantom walls". It does appear that a couple of your gable attic walls are out of alignment with the walls below which you can manually align if you wish, otherwise I am not sure exactly what are your issues.

My version is Home Designer Architectural 2014.

I have solved some of my issues by editing for the proper "Main Layer" in the wall definition area and realigning some walls of differing thicknesses.

Two issues still continue; the roof builds on the wrong side of the wall as shown in the jpeg, and the phantom walls in the altar area seem to originate in the crawl space.

The phantom walls are the light blue and dark blue areas; they are not supposed to be there.

The two attached images show each issue.



Thanks for now, and more will probably come!

Dear Father Limanni,

Thank you for the response. All I am sure of is that you are not pleased with the results to date. I cannot tell what or why anything is right or wrong just from your descriptions and images, I am sorry.

I wonder if you read the offered post "How to get good answers" in my prior post. I know you know what is wrong but so far, from what you have shared, I haven't a clue what to do about it other than to ask for more detailed data about what you want and what you are getting instead of what you want. It is not as self-evident as you might think because I do not have all the data that you have.
