Foundation and Roof, Teacher needs help with new program.

Foundation-Can a foundation be added after a house is drawn? I can put a slab on the drawing but I want to be able to have a couple rows of block above grade. I want the finished floor to begin there as well. Is there a different command for adding floors? For instance, if I want to be able to use different flooring for rooms.
Roof-I got a roof to look kind of right once, a gable. What do I do about the gable ends where I can see into the house? Can I specify overhang, soffit, or fascia.
Thanks,

You can make objects of your floors and use layer combos to display your options. Roof-I got a roof to look kind of right once, a gable. What do I do about the gable ends where I can see into the house? Make the wall taller or add a second floor wall. Use the trim to roof tool or SEO. Can I specify overhang, soffit, or fascia. yes.Thanks,
You are asking too many questions at one time. Also, try to be more specific.

Remember. There is never only one way to skin a cat. Everything you ask about can be done in many different ways. This is why you need to be more specific about what it is you need to know.

"How do I work this program?" Is not going to generate the answers you need.

If you like, you can send me your project and I will tweak it for you and send it back. It will not be exactly what you want but you can learn from seeing how some things can be done.
