How to draw roof intersected by a curved wall.
solver replied to HStone's topic in Tips & Techniques
Please post questions in General Q&A. Tips & Techniques is where you share your tips and techniques. Please delete this thread via Moderator Actions near the top of the page. -
Have you worked through the Tutorial linked via the Help menu? Yes you can. Chief uses Template plans. When you start a new plan, you are opening a saved template that contains many things, including wall definitions. You can also save walls in the library.

Seeking Services is where you post asking for paid help. Not sure who you are asking, but there is lots of articles and videos on the Chief site and videos on the Chief YouTube channel. Plenty of info to answer your wall question. And a FYI. You have found the forum for the Chief Architect branded products. Home Designer users have their own forum, HomeTalk, where you will find suggestions based on your software. https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/ You may, if you wish, delete this thread via Moderator Actions near the top of the page.

help with converting a polyline solid to an architectural block
solver replied to binkpear's topic in General Q & A
You have (probably) a standard polyline in with the other items. -
Have you looked at the Auto Dimension defaults?
-
It's not clear if these are thing you want, or do not want, and if you cannot find the defaults, or cannot find the specific settings in defaults to make a change. I'll encourage you to look again in Help. Search for dimension defaults and read. Open various dialogs and look at the settings. Change settings and test them to learn what they do, Your answers are there. Part of learning the software is learning how to answer your own questions. You will, if you pay attention, learn other things during your search that you will need to know at some time. You generally want to say what type of dimension you are using as well. Temporary, Automatic, Manual etc.

Lots of help via the Chief website and YouTube channel, and the built in Help system.

External walls with different materials meeting at corners

External walls with different materials meeting at corners
solver replied to Jackstacey's topic in General Q & A
Your "pebble dash" walls seem to be brick walls that you have painted with a pebble dash material. Is pebble dash the same thickness as brick? If you define your walls correctly -- the pebble dash wall having a thin layer of pebble dash, I imagine you can make the walls do what you want. -

External walls with different materials meeting at corners
solver replied to Jackstacey's topic in General Q & A
Please check your messages. How are they supposed to meet in the corner. Maybe a picture of an actual brick/pebble dash corner would help. Here in the USA, we don't use pebble dash, so you might need to educate us. -
Look at the Boxed Eave settings.

What is the corner supposed to look like? -
I imagine it's an extension of the overhang from the roof on the right side of the garage.
