Mark3D

Have you had any luck getting this file to work  did you submit it to chief support I would be interested in the outcome I got it to work better but the one thing I could not fix is the peace of wall coming out at the corner of hand rail 

I had a go at it but could not see what was causing it that section of wall that seems like a post  seems to have a mind of its own plus that strange beam I got the ceiling working but it still has wall problems

Great suggestions Mark3D - that was a very helpful graphic! I've been wondering how to get driveways to do it correctly. How do you get flat regions? Just two parallel elevation lines?

A bit more info

Made some improvements to your file i change the color of your terrain data layer to make it stand out it can really help to trouble shoot what is going on when having problems and did a bit more general clean up

see if that file is helpful  its a guess so could be wrong and it needs more work

have a look at this file i fixed a few issues with curved walls auto built roof except front porch it is a manual roof also alter roof overhang and curve wall segment roof to 14 deg as Glen spotted and i think it looks a lot cleaner

Try doing a auto roof there some strange things happening in this model the top story builds the roof to a point and stops all the way around it might give you clue 

I would ask tech support on this one as I thing the program has hit a situation it can not handle

Thanks for all your helpful input it seems to me that did not go all the way with the coding of the software on the metric side of things 

Trying to get cabinets to how they are made in Australia  its what i think is known as euro style around the world or frameless

Toe kick shown in picture below

Also would like cabinet box to be different like in below picture its is set to frameless but chief is still adding a frame to the front of the cabinet or have i got a setting wrong

If you use a room molding set to the height rafter gap and a negative offset to its thickness it will fill the rafter space on the exterior walls also paint it with wall material for the interior not a perfect way but bay be usefull

I had a try at setting foundation heights first i set the foundation defaults to suit the new work then made sure they were set to defaults in the rooms then i manualy set the existing to the different heights it always good to get the defaults correct for the main part of your building

with the fire place those walls are set to railings untick railing and use shelf ceiling as david point to in video also x12 can now select doorway with no casings that is one of x12 new features

Could you cheat and put a poly line solid over the top so you elevation looks correct

open the exterior wall it sits on, under roof tab un tick upper pitch you must have selected it and forgot

Here is a file it maybe what you are trying to achieve it is in X7

Pool House v4.plan

What version of chief are you running I played with the file but it seems like it is very old version

Here is a link to the file

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-2PrXmIBT6R9GQVJBMSIJpYegCPcdjZa

you will see i just put elevation region set to zero to flatten the terrain under the  building

is this what you want

Could you put the file on drop box or google drive and share a link

Try deleting the plants and trees  then see if the file is smaller you will have made a mistake with terrain elevation data

also you could try changing the layer colour for elevation data in floor plan view to some thing that stands out to help with trouble shooting

try posting your plan,  your base line might be off angle not  in line with wall

Also i forgot under rail style you can select follow terrain

try fence and set to balusters

Try this file it might be what you want if you want the roof fixed you need to show what is required you may have some plans or photo to help explain
