    When using elevation tool, how can I show the basement?

    I am using Home Designer Suite 6.04.

    Using the Cross Section/Elevation tool, how can I convince the tool to show me the basement? The tool easily shows the first and second floor, but will not show the basement.

    Thank you in advance.

    Allen,
    Yes, the basement is built. My plan has a basement, a 1st and a 2nd floor.

    You could look at the help file.There are not many display options..
    I just used H D S 6 for floor plans mostly...

    I can't get Deluxe to show the foundation in a Cross Section/Elevation of an entire home either.

    So it sounds like I am out of luck. Hummmmm. What shall I do. To get my building permit I have to show the basement in my elevations.

    Or see if your building department will accept a camera view instead...
