The new doorway worked but how about the first picture ?

try changing the floor hieght of the open below area to match the hall at the top of the stairs that seems to fix i think on the 4th floor

i put a new door opening  and it worked 

it was there for me just looking at it now

just a thought with out reading this whole thread check to see you don't have your snaps turned off that can play a role in base lines getting messed up 

Sorry no help it sounds like a good feature suggestion as  brick just don’t float on there own 

It’s not set wrong in preferences architectural to select room before wall 

i had a play with your file it might be enough to get you going if you need other change i can do it as i have chief x6 install on old laptop as that should be compatible with version 2015 designer

Posabiltys walls not connect at intersection one or all walls checked as no room definition in wall dialog 

Probly need more info like picture of or sample of tile 

those planes popping up are because you dont have the roof edge on the gable  at -135 deg they are something like like -135.311666° select the roof plane edge look at selected line tab

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

Apply the Satellite shot as your Watermark.  Image transparency is unfortunately hidden away in only that part of the program.

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

Here's my personal approach.

1. Send to the back drawing group.
2. Draw a Polyline or CAD box over the top, set the fill style to solid>background color, and give it a transparency
3. Send the Polyline to the back drawing group and then Move Forward In Group

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

I understand CA is going to be improving their takeoff capabilities in the next release.

 

In the meantime you might want to check out some online estimate programs. Ie.

 

https://www.rsmeans.com/free-trial.aspx

 

You can use some of the info from the X10 material list to help you build estimates quickly using assemblies.  RS Means uses your project location to generate costs in your area.

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

Chief is good for 3D concept art and for interior renders, but for creating site maps it's terrible. What's a good software to use that isn't super expensive?

 

Thanks!!

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
