Hi CA Please advise as to how CA would treat a courtyard in the center of the house perimeter. What is the process of creating a grassed area as a courtyard without CA treating it like a room with a ceiling. Even when I draw the perimeter boundary walls and give the "courtyard" a grass area, CA still assumes everything is under 1 roof. Please advise. Thanks
Is there an easy way to get to roof type definitions? Wall type definitoin was obvious where I could specify layers, material types, insulation etc. I haven't found it in X13 - what I did fine was materials under roof defaults but that doesn't seem nearly as intuitive or logical for orders of layers.
@@ChiefArchitect Thanks - I'm curious why they don't make roof types like wall types. Seems like you'd have external, core and internal components where you'd want to specify material, thickeness, order etc. exactly as you would a wall.
Woohh I really need it this. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I am from Kenya and am loving the software so far.

You can try adjusting the room specifications. Under the structure panel, there are options for "Roof over this room" and "Floor under this room."
@@ChiefArchitect Thanks, will do.

The roof does not have a roof type definition, but you can change the material within the roof specifications.

@@boedillard8807 That is a great idea, I will pass along your idea to our developers. Thank you!
What was the roof material used in this video?
The material is called Standing Seam
