Roof sips
Does Home Designer Pro 2014 support roof sips (structural insulated panels)?
I can set up the wall sips, but don't see any way to set up roof sips.

In a virtual model, I would recommend you just set the roof framing to the correct overall thickness to thus emulate sip roof planes (no one will know other than you that the roof planes are not actually sip panels). I know of no current software packages that offer perfect emulation in detail of sip roof planes in terms of the actual structural layering. The roof planes need to look right (which can be done) and once done you can just say that they are sip panels.
Plans are for communicating your architectural intentions to other building professionals and as such need not be perfect in minute detail to do that job.
