Not sure if you have ssa paid but if you do watch some videos on roof building you might even find some on youtube

i cant see a way to scale it with this method correct me if i am wrong

Good idea thanks Micheal I have been struggling with problem also

Sorry scott that was wrong but it does work in win10 firefox

the arrow top left of view i think that is what you want

improved takeoff capabilitys where did you here that

Mick is right I did build a new floor level it is just in the roof space also I changed your landing to a floor platform and as for the open below bit just define it that way with walls all will be good

Give that a try i had to build new floor level Ames Barn.plan

If you send me a photo example I will try and make it with genetica

Yes it does but don't forget it is a plugin to something like sketch up ,c4d or 3dmax so you would need one of those it does not plugin to chief

Can you give a bit more info as chief can do 2d site plans quiet well there are good training videos about this topic or do you mean a 3D model of terrain ? Also what version of chief are using

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

also opens good in cinema 4d

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

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

give this a try i think its what you want Britton.Roney.plan

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

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

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

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

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

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

i might be able to make you a good texture if you can show me example image

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

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
