This is doable with the Roof built off the Porch wall , as a 2 - Pitch Roof using the in from Base line Setting set to the Depth of the Porch....... and a lower pitch say a 1/2 pitch of the main roof so 3:12 and 6:12 for the main Roof in this case below. X15 Plan to look at : MHD_2 Pitch Roof off Porch Wall.plan Mick.

x14 Crashing when changing materials on any object
Kbird1 replied to rcmcdougle's topic in General Q & A
Oh , Chief actually has a similar KB Articles (below) I thought you meant the physical switch many Nvidia Cards have, which is actually the GPU Bios switch to either enable OC (overclock mode) or Silent Mode. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03140/forcing-chief-architect-programs-to-use-a-specific-graphics-card-in-windows-10-11.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03140/forcing-chief-architect-programs-to-use-a-specific-graphics-card-in-windows-10-11.html -

Other than DB comment which I'd check 1st ( you can ignore Alan's switch joke ) but there is a known issue with the 14900k for many people, not just Chiefer's , many gamers too , I had issues at 1st with mine and had to make some adjustments in the Bios. Let me see if I can find the thread on Chief where it was discussed by a couple of us...... Here you go...... this is some posts on reddit I found later and work for me... M. -
What causes sunlight to bleed through walls when rendering?
Kbird1 replied to DIYJon's topic in General Q & A
Yes a roof or second story, I suggest making your SOP to add an Auto Foundation and Auto Roof to every build , Chief's "Lighting" engine needs them to calculate how the Light "bounces" around the scene. At times you may c=see the opposite effect and light bleeding under furniture and Cabinets hence the auto foundation..... M. -
I believe so from 1 page in the 2023 version, so likely multiple Plans files will be needed. M.

And turned ON in Preferences too......not sure it on by Default?

Make sure in the 3D camera to turn ON the Framing Wall's Layer or you wont see the 3D Studs and Plates. M.

Try drawing the Landing 1st, with the Straight Deck Edge Tool (invisible railing) and make the "Room" created a Deck, you can use the ALT Key to draw a staircase down when needed too. M.
-
Auto framing can slow things down (especially if a Schedule is used?) as can Fills with huge numbers of CAD lines too. M.
-
Try using the Wall Elevation Camera , if you want to limit it to the Room only and not show a Cross Section........ It's also good practice to put a Auto Foundation and Roof on a Building , even if not drawing the whole house, this helps with the way Chief's "Astral" Lighting engine works especially in PBR Camera Views, so there is no weird "light bleed".

There is way to many variables, to give up on any of them after 1 session, it may not even be Meet, it could be your or your client's ISP or perhaps slow WIFI, an Eth. cable direct to your router will almost always be faster and more stable too ( though it's getting closer these days with Wifi 6e and Now Wifi 7). Personally in the last 3 months I've only have trouble with Zoom, we switched to Teams which worked fine. M.

Question on creating non-linear property line walls
Kbird1 replied to KTLAdesign's topic in General Q & A
I agree with all the above comments from Eric and DB but to add one , if your Walls ( fence )is not on one of Chief's 15° (or 7.5°) presets" add you own Allowed Angle Preset under : Defaults > Plan > Allowed Angles which you can copy and paste out of any of the mention Wall DBX's -
Each time this has happened to me it has been because the Sender did not give me Permission to View and Edit the File before sharing it..... for Regular Clients I have them make a Dedicated Folder on GD and share that with me, not individual files , it works well , I think I pay $20/yr for a 100Gb Plan as these days Google adds your Photos on the Free 15GB Data Allotment, so if you have an android Phone, that can really cut down on the Storage. Personally I don't use GD or OD as my only Backup of Data, I don't like how OneDrive is so intrusive in Win11 cos even with GB Internet it really slows things down. M.
