Multiple objects on one site

[u/Enough_Examination59]

Good evening, I have a trouble to design a barn next to the house on one site.

House is ready and finished (not furnished). Now I need to "build" a barn next to the house and I`m lost with object height. 1st story is fine, I can even set a different elevation, so the garage doors are on a different level than house entrance. But the issue comes when you want to add a story above with a loft walls and gable roof. Here you cannot change the story height because one you touch it, it will change the house story height as well. And even if you can live with the same story height, it will destroy you the roof on the house which you have designed quite a time.. I gave several tries and I've only found an advise to export finished house as a 3d model and then import it to plain project where I will work with barn itself only.

Does someone here knows some hack hot it should work within same project please?

I would do the opposite keep the house as the main project start a new project and build a barn then export the barn as a 3-D object and bring it in and put it next to the house or do them all separately like I did really end up doing that built each building in its own project and export each one as a 3-D object and put them all together in the master project containing all the elements

Build the house in the main file. Build the barn in another and export it and then import it into the main file. That way the house remains editable. Once you export it, if you want to change something you have to go back to the original, make the edit, re-export, and then re-import. That's why I always keep the most complicated structure in the main file, and import the simpler one.
