I still think it has something to do with the way you built the porch roof which isn't on your practice plan....

Rich...
If your architectural version has the cupolas, the you can add them to your new library, I think.
If that doesn't work, you can copy/paste them from the old program into a plan in your new program.JoAnn

JoAnn, thanks. I was not trying to do a round roof, just a round top VENT/LOUVER. That IS a good thing to know. In my practice plan, I used a fixed glass window, w/arched head changed the material for the glass to a "louver" bladed mat'l. BUT until I can figure out how to build it on my finished plan, I will just use the one from the library.

I do have the 3 cupolas in pro 10, I selected one of them to "get by" so I could present last Friday. They didn't like the "rectangular" louver/vent but said they'd have the builder do a round top. I would've started over from scratch and got the main features (exterior walls, build the cupola, build the roofs) and gone from there, but didn't have the time to make the last minute changes and still get it to the board in time for their review/approval.

In an effort, to not allow the soft-ware to defeat me, I started a brand new plan. So far I've managed to do the manual dormer, with MY home made round top vent/louver; however, I am unable to get the gables to draw correctly (they are now missing at the porch) and even though I followed DJP's You tube and attempted to edit the height of the cupola.....NO DEAL....no matter the changes I make it has reached it's current height and keeps telling me to go take a hike when I attempt to set a new ceiling height. So what you see is what I have at this point.
I am still working on it! I have only drawn the exterior walls visible and invisible to this point. @ 1 you see the cupola just stays at that height no matter what. imaginary bottom drops lower when I fiddle w/different heights. @ 2-no gable at the porch area and even if I try to draw it manually nothing shows.
So, I keep working. I had to change the porch from invisible walls, to railing with post to beam no shoe, top or bottom rail and also put a ceiling in although I didn't want one. Then the software cooperated and put my gable walls back in. While clumsily searching for gable vent, I came across Arched top vent louver in of all places-Mech, Elec, Plumbing "ventilation" well imagine that. I guess to keep the gable ends I'll have to do what the software wants, and doctor the posts up to get a Wood wrap with cultured stone base.Last edited by BB boy; 05-12-2014 at 11:23 AM.

Bob...
When you said 'round top' I thought you meant the roof, or even the cupola. So i tried making a round cupola and the software won't allow it ( it sends the roof wonky). So I made this 6 sided cupola that I think looks nice.
Then you clarified that it was a round top vent that you wanted, and I was going to tell you that there was one in the library, but I see that you found it!
Anyway, if you would post a floor plan jpeg with some dimensions and ceiling heights (use LARGE TEXT), I would have like to have some fun trying to replicate it (to see what's going on). And leave the grid turned on, too.JoAnn

JoAnn, maybe the snip will work. I can get most everything, except now I can't get the cupola above the roof (even though I have it drawn on a blank 2nd floor) Hmph!?!?
