Thanks for looking at this, much appreciated, it is good to get help from the forum.

Here is what i think is correct, i raised the roof a bunch and ca raised the walls and because i had roof trusses it made them high heels It just wasnt working with my current plan, i must have screwed something up? CA is looking at it.

thanks Mick, i want the room height to stay the same just raise roof, in a sample plan it was raising walls and building them as attic walls, but my plan would not do this? i have auto build attic walls checked still didnt work.

i am sending my plan in to ca to look at, i managed to get walls to rebuild automatically with a sample plan now...not sure whats going on.

I dont want to edit all roof planes, just my upper roof. I am not quite sure I understand how this roof is supposed to work but i remember ca used to rebuild walls when roof planes were raised? I just wanted to move upper roof up so lower roof would slide under without having to manually pull up walls, easy enough to pull up walls but then i find too many times all this manual manipulation causes all kind of issues.

I used the transform/replicate to move roof up but walls dont come with roof. Where is the roof planes dialogue vs roof plane?

i built this roof with trusses checked but there still is no option to raise roof here?

Hi Eric, so the only way to raise roof is to do this before you build it? Because this option is not available after roof has been built? What if i had a very complex roof that was manually drawn, i have to redo roofs to raise them?

plan shows 2600 the zip file shows 0

I am not sure what i am doing wrong? roof plan example.zip

see if this works roof plan.zip

Here is a sample plan where i raised roof off plates 10" and the walls fail to raise to meet the soffit? How would one make a roof with a high heel if the walls dont raise? Am i missing something? roof plan.plan roof plan.zip

I have raised roof but walls do not raise after? I have auto attic wall rebuild turned on. The structure tab in the wall shows they are at standard height. I thought ca used to raise walls automatically, should i just be manually just pulling up walls?

HI everyone, i am trying to place some pot lights in a flat roof soffit, as you can see the pot lights take the slope of the roof no matter what i do. Any suggestions?

I am working on a project right now with stucco joints and a composite wood grain panels, i used the material regions for the panels and stucco joints, i used polyline solids for the posts..

Yes the extra lines...annoying, my perspective on this is it is a artistic rendering and it is meant to convey a design. I keep the extensions on and keep the lines squiggle on..here is the settings i use. So in the end it is quick and artistic so i put up with the lines as there could be construction lines visible in a water colour. I guess i would tell customer if asked that this is to convey the design intent.

If a raytrace is done well...it looks great..i see so many that dont..this water colour rendering took me secs to do..

HI everyone, there is always a lot of discussion about ray traces and how to make them look good. In my opinion total waste of time when you can get a rendering using the water colour after setting up the scene with your max 8 lights that conveys the design very well... Here is an interior and exterior..comments?

I have an interior 4" wall flush with the inside face of a 6" exterior wall, the 6" walls are not closing properly, i have checked to make sure all walls are standard top and bottom heights. I have never seen this before. The two exterior walls are different types but the same thickness and main layers and dimension layers. Any ideas?

But should I be painting walls with painter tool , doesn’t this cause problems

Knowing that only 8 lights can display at one time, is there a way to group lights and turn on and off these groups?

I am using material regions for battens and wanted to be able to show customer different wall colours by opening wall and Changing material, but then I need to also change material region. i wanted to link material region with a wall material.

I have used my logo and made it a wall surface and set it high on wall and made it faint and it runs around entire room. another way is to put a picture on wall with a promotion of your business . View in Chief Architect’s 360° Panorama Viewer.
