  1. I might be on the wrong track here but if you have spray painted a new material on a object and change it defaults it won’t change until you tell it to use it’s default material
  2. I had a go at your freeze problem and got it working in x 10 but was a bit tricky I would give your wall asbuilt layer like bricks and render so yo can see if they are facing the right way as they are mixed up because the were not drawn clock wise , also those complicate walls on the lower story are giving chief a hard time to start with I would delete some of them and replace with soffits so the walls are smooth from lower to first floor also I think it helps if you give the roof a bit more over hang like 14 “ i have all my previse versions of chief but are missing my key code to x6 so can’t send a file with it working you may be better getting that bit working with molding lines and just push on with rest of your roof as it is tricky to trouble shoot
  3. what version of chief are you using its good to put that into chief talk signature so people can fix problem and send the file back to you and you, will be able to open it if there version is correct
  4. give this a try i think its what you want Britton.Roney.plan
  5. You could make the parking lot floor terrain in a seperate file just that area export it out as a symbol and import in to your file or you could maybe use roof plains as the floor
  6. A different version i changed the parking area to a room it removes the troubles the retaining wall cause, it needs a bit of cleaning up to suit your needs Help_Plan_3.plan
  7. give this a try i cleaned the terrain up so that you do not have elevation data fighting i have changed a few things to make it easy for me to clean up the terrain it should either give you some ideas or get you moving in the right direction i hope terrains are tricky thing to do Help_Plan_(1).plan
  8. this should get you started i would need more photos and info to get better, but it should give you the idea, i did it part auto roof and part manual roof Back Elevation Design v2.4 Help Mark.plan
  9. Home designer has a limit of one layout sheet I think so this would make it useless for drawing plans correct me if I am wrong about this as it may have changed
  10. I had a go at it i really need your plans if you have them but it will give the idea Feb_5_Update.plan
  11. i might be able to make you a good texture if you can show me example image
  12. I am wondering if a good normal map and good texture would get you by with this i have not tried it but see what others think
  13. I would be really good if you chief people could share us a example file with multiple formulas place in the material list so we can see what can be done so we don’t have to spend a year learning ruby just some to get us started, I am sure it would get more people using the new material list section could be good for the beta period
  14. a few more fixes i noticed that i missed ,also there is a small gap at the front door porch right hand side shift the room divider wall that buts in near the gap Permit_Plans_Rus_Res_HEIGHTS.plan
  15. Try that i maid some fixes there is a note in the plan Also if you can put your chief version in your signature as i have guessed you are using X 9 but if i am wrong you wont be able to open the file one other thing you had a symbol like the eave bracket out in space that stuff can mess with you just delete it if you don't use my file Permit_Plans_Rus_Res_HEIGHTS.plan
  16. read there names they should give you clue let your mouse hover to see there names
  17. it depends on the height setting when you set it up
  18. Make room molding poly line that is the tool name 2nd last tool
  19. Is that not what you are after
  20. Select just out side the building to select exterior room then make room molding poly line add your molding
  21. post a screen shot for best suggestion maybe a poly line solid depending on your situation
  22. a screen grab showing the wall would help
  23. The wall on the second floor that continues past the little short wall is is set to attic wall untick no room definition the gap will close because chief thinks there is no room it wont build floor structure this is for the file with auto save in its name i think that will fix all problems
