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

read there names they should give you clue let your mouse hover to see there names

it depends on the height setting when you set it up

Make room molding poly line that is the tool name 2nd last tool

Is that not what you are after

Select just out side the building to select exterior room then make room molding poly line add your molding

i had to ask so i would say yes as i did beta on X9

post a screen shot for best suggestion maybe a poly line solid depending on your situation

a screen grab showing the wall would help

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

Sorry I though I posted a reply last night to say the problem was fixed but I must have forgot to click submit it was because of that material bump plus the user had toggle texture of and he was trying to explain it over the phone so it got a bit mixed up but we got it in the end so thanks for all the kind help

i checked that there is no bump or normal file loaded in materials but thanks though

Any thoughts on why the textures are looking so bad in render view second image first image is from x7 showing all is good it not just on old files it is all files with a new X9 install windows 10 machine radeon video card R9 200

those are small images render out at bigger size

A possible way of doing it Mountain Starx8 Mark try .plan

I see you using X9

Sorry that file is in x9 i will upload a x7 version

try this file it might help its looking clean Mountain Star.plan

just be patient there are lot smarter users than me they will have a better idea

Brick ledge is for monolithic slab so the outside brick skin goes below the floor suface like one or two bricks or more if needed it take the bricks down to ground level

White bleed thru I fixed it by changing the brick ledge step down in wall type define dialog from 48 to 0 not sure if that is a problem in other area but it fixed it

the L shaped deck has ceiling turned on that maybe the gap you are talking about turn it off that gets rid of that gap

There is still a white material blead thru not sure about that yet

To start with your top story walls don't line up with lower story walls turn on reference layer and you will see , you can align them manualy or use align with lower wall tool in the selected wall toolbar

Thanks Glenn
