Hi Gene, I believe that it is due to it being an attic wall. Open wall dbx and Uncheck attic wall, then it frames.

odd behavior for sure, not sure what is causing it. maybe someone else will chime in.

I see that I didn't have the framing layer selected in the screen grab. Hence framing not checked. As DB Cooper said make sure it is checked when the line is selected.

Are you using the show walls below grade in elevation view as dashed? Not at my computer currently. I would also check foundation wall alignment. Maybe off a little bit, look for the align with above wall sub tool bar when wall selected. If it's not greyed out it's out of alignment.

Look at your wall type specification, make sure you have framing in the main layer

Can you share some pictures of your problems, better yet a copy the plan and layout. Also what version used x17, x16, ?

Use plot line, when sending elevation to layout.

Look at build, framing menu. Wall section build one time.

Try making the space (room type) open below, then make a room on foundation level. Use foundation wall type. Place door on foundation level. Make stairs from basement to terrain. Hope that helps.

Hi Jim, I was looking at this and found if you specify the label and add the text "LeftArch" and "RightArch" it seperates it correctly in the window schedule

Hi John, The setting is under the wall type def, see attached. I rebuilt foundation and placed a section camera to verify alignment. Foundation problem.zip

I am afraid vector view is the only camera, you could make arrows with 3d solids if needed. Save them to your library for reuse. The image is hand drawn lines camera.

I just saw this sneak peek post.

I don't see any defaults, I guess we have to make it as needed. Then copy

ok, well I have found curved roofs don't tend to play well in chief. no matter the version. Hope you get it sorted.

Have you rebuilt the roof framing after adding the profile?

Hi Shane, I had a look at the trim issue and I think its caused by the curved roof section. I'm not sure if you intended it to be curved. I took the liberty to change it to straight sections and it is doing a better job of joining the trim. attached a sample to look at. hope that helps, Michael Hidden Oaks 34-rooftest-1.zip

Happy New Year! Question-thoughts: Is your roof framing 2x6? Seat cut correct? Did you auto frame or manual ceiling framing?

Paul, My first guess is that the roof baseline is not over the wall main layer. Second is the wall default top height has been changed. Best to post a stripped-down copy of the plan for best answers. Also what version of Chief are you using?

I went down the path to attempt this look, style using wood and standing seam roof. Created in x16.

Try materials, Siding and Paneling, Fiber Cement, panels See if that material will work. Resize material to mfg spec. as required using the rainbow tool icon.

Excellent, glad it worked!

In your foundation wall defaults image, middle of picture. "Elevation of lower wall top" try setting this to -8" - then check the alignment with main layer inside. Also you may have to extend (in your wall dbx) your brick ledge depth to floor thickness + 8"

I can't figure it out quick, so I turned on the option to use the secondary dimension option showing decimal feet.
