Often you only need the major contours from the cad plan 

Delete roof baseline polylines go to edit menu delete objects. then select roof baseline polylines. 

Start with auto roof then with tricky bits adjust manual edit roof plane.

Its not like a cheap price has been paid to use the software over the years has been paid it was fare money and then to be told it is now worth nothing  thats what it looks like when big business has it way and says stuff you to its existing 

A screen shot would help as i cannot see problem, plus update you signature to x14 it will help save time for those trying to help you 

There is framing blead through if it is that turn roof framing layer

Aye matey, there's the rub. Xfrog.com has thousands

but they tend to have high surface counts. They also 

have some free samples so you might want to give

some a try and see how they perform for you. Here

is a quick PBRT comparison between a Chief 3D tree

and a Xfrog tree. These were both Ash trees and seem

to be striking eerily similar poses. 

 

thanks for the example

Has anyone found 3d plants and trees to buy that are not to high surfaces and suitable for chief i have chiefs bonus items but would like more

Here is file with fixes if it helps

This is what I am getting, I don't know your software, but you may need to turn off auto roofs if you can in your software 

Have a look at this file and see if its works for you

419 old sherman mod 2.plan

If you are ever struggling with 3d model side of things just send me a private message, I can zoom or other to help

When exporting use a higher resolution like 2048 you will get smaller grout line

Here is a quick go at it to help you 

pool room.plan

what version of chief are you using

I had a go at it but i don't think it is quite right but the idea is there i would start again with a single stair unit and landing you have 2 stair sections and i am not sure why  

Pergola.plan

can you show all 4 elevations

See if that is getting you on the right path

Pergola.plan

Select all the walls that control the roof over those 2 rooms and set roof settings that should fix the problem is you have multiple pitches 3 in 12 and 4 in 12 also you have some walls set to extended down slope the just need to be set to hip and 3 in 12 possible

solver has some good videos on dormers

See if this is what you want its done with auto roof

planjune9.plan

I opened your file in x14 rtrt and x13pbr and don't see wall color problem

Post your plan if you can not figure it out

I built your terrain see if you can make use of it , it is my best guess as to what your are trying to achieve

Step 30-Plex V1.zip

I had a look at the file

Your short cut of not building the terrain correctly is haunting you the negative value in terrain feature does not work build the terrain correctly and your problem should be fixed

To trouble shoot I change the color and line weight of the elevation data so it stands out  then look to see if you have overlapping elevation data or even turn all layers off and just show elevation data and study it my guess is you will have elevation data set wrong to cause the problem
