Give that a try the basic shape is in place just needs a little cleaning up also its a good idea to use the join roof plains tool

My iphone 6 plus wont stay signed in to this it work great on ipad does anyone have any idea why this or how to fix this

Roof trims like gable flashing valley gutters and where roof meats wall flashing

X5 has no DAE export or import abilitys it first came in with X6

I have never herd of anyone getting version 8 to work on windows 8.1 i think you might be a first on that

Thanks guys, will try the second floor fix and see how it comes out. I will still have to deal with the sloped ceiling that is partially over the two little rooms, however.

Mark - that's so obvious a solution I can't believe I didn't figure that out myself. D'oh!

I don't understand sloped ceiling over 2 little rooms I thought that was the look you wanted can you explain sorry if I am missing the obvious

With vanity walls break the invisible wall where the walls butt it 

You could slide the door bottom up to the top of the base board then you will get a base board under the door not fiscally correct but easy fix for base board

I think I remember x6 had a bug that did just that when it was first released or in beta stage and it was fixed, this May be a new example of it

I got it working but you need to check i have not messed your model up as was moving things all over the place trying to get it working

Hi

thinking of switching from AutoCADLT to Chief Architect and interested to touch base with local users on the pros and cons.

 

cheers

Peter (Box Hill Nth)

I would be happy talk about chief on the phone if you like 

Mobile 0402411843

Trying to use Chief X1 on windows 8.1 but render views are not to good, has any one had any luck getting it to work

Any ideas as to why  I cant login to this forum using chrome but it works with mozilla fire fox

 

Also I must say I am sick of having to login in all the time, I miss the way the old forum worked if I was on my ipad it auto login, if i was on my desktop it was auto login now i am forced to re login every time i change device and i change devices a lot

This scheen grab should explain

I also have no problems recommending it for Australia use , i f you find your self struggling to learn it I some times help with screen sharing to help with the learning curve witch I would guess is easier than other software program's

Gable

In the roof tools there is a roof gable line tool if you only want a part of a wall to be a gable it should be explained in the help read the help on stairs if you can't access the videos

You could use street view to check if the property does have a slope I think it would only work if the property is sloping up from the front

 

Sorry you are using apple maps i missed that

I do realize that and I am not trying to play games just having a hard time with capturing what I want to send and uploading it, one of those days that can't end fast enough, and I guess I am not understanding what exactly you want me to send, i just printed a pdf tile from my quicken file and opened it up and it printed to one of my printers with no problem that is whats the confusing part, I will try to work on it over the weekend or see if I can get one of my tech guys to look at it. 

Thanks for trying

Your doing good but they just need a screen shot of the dialog box from after you tell it to print it has a lot of setting and you may have a setting wrong

You should be able to grab the top of the wall and pull it down in a 3d view 

nope, that was 3DA ver 5 done by a totally different vendor

nothing to do with CA (ART back then)

can you save it as a .DXF or .DWG ?

 

 

I will have a go if you can't find what you need

my email if needed house3d@gmail.com

Using chrome i have to sign in every visit or am i doing some thing wrong ?

Look in the defaults settings it is in there 

You can tell chief to generate framing for selected walls and roofs it a new feature of x6 just select the wall and in its tool bar you will see generate framing and only the selected object will be framed
