    Well technically, George didn't ask about code.  He only asked why his landings didn't pick up the stair settings.  Mark gave him the right answer.

     

    Apparently, Chief doesn't like having landings stacked on top of each other.  It only likes landings butted up to each other.  See the picture below showing stacked landings vs. butted landings.  It would be nice if stacked landings worked automatically but you probably need to send Chief a feature request if you want that to change.

    Thanks Mark,

    I don’t know make sure your open below room is correct and that have not changed the height setting in stair dialog

    Hi Mark,

    Thank you for your help. I have a few questions regarding the stair:

    1. If the landings are aligned, will the stairs function as a single unit, with the winder overhang automatically adjusting to the stair configuration?
    2. How can I ensure the top of the stairs aligns with the top of the wall and integrates seamlessly into the room,

    1. yes see my file i just adjusted the landings and then all worked

    2. They should unless you have changed the stairs automatic setting but i think more information is needed as to your exact problem like screen shot or the file also with this question i am not a expert with stairs someone else may have a better reply

    If I'm following this correctly, you want to have 2 roof sections perfectly align by having:

    1. same plate height
    2. same fascia height
    3. same overhang distance
    4. but different pitches? (your posted plan has 12/12 pitch at existing and 4/12 pitch at new connection)

    If that is correct, that isn't possible.  All of those would have to be equal for them to be equal.

     

    You can however make adjustments to get the fascia heights to match. Such as:

    1. different overhang distances than each other (extend the 4/12 overhang to get it to the desired height, but will result in a larger overhang...can increase pitch to minimize the overhang distance)
    2. different plate heights (lower new room height in this case due to the lower pitch...you could raise that pitch to minimize how much to lower plate height)
    3. or just accept that the fascia heights will not align if you have to have the plate heights the same and the overhangs the same
    4. etc. 

    I agree unless there is missing information

  5. Sorry i missed that this is the way chief handles those roof situations I don't know why this happens, but it does happen it has been talked about on this forum but I don't know there is way to get auto roofs to handle it.

    What i do is start with auto roof and then do a manual edit at the end
