I recently used the Reverse Plan feature in Chief and got a strange anomaly with the roof. On one of the ridges (that runs front to back of the house, the roof lines appear to extend past the ridge. I almost appear as though the ridge cap is upside down. I can't seem to find a way to fix this. Hoping someone can take a look. I need to create renderings for an MLS listing.
Thanks!

Not sure. I just manually placed them, which is fine as well.

Thank you. Hmmm, I see how the joist direction indicator works - but it's not updating the direction of the actual 3D framing...

Another newbie question here. I am working on the framing for a project. Using Auto Framing, Chief put the floor joists on my main floor in the wrong direction. Is there a way to auto rotate the joist set?
Thanks!

Hello,
I am having trouble with one room on the attached design. It is BR. 2 at the front of the house. The floor bumps down into the basement space below. I can't seem to find the setting that allows me to control the floor height for that one particular room. The perspective camera that's in the scene should illustrate the situation.

Thank you. That was super helpful!

Hey folks,
I could use a hand. I've been working on this single story ranch design and have been producing renderings for pre-sale MLS listings. Just learned that we have the opportunity for a walk-out basement in addition to some changes to the floor plan.
The problem I am having is that all though (I believe) I have a an enclosed room for the Family Room off the Kitchen, I can't seem to get Chief to recognize it as a Room now. It has a vaulted ceiling. I had to adjust the roof at the back wall (where the slider is located). Proud that I was able to get the roof built, but I can't get the Gable (at the slider) Wall to fill up to the Roof. I've drawn it in the attic with (what I think are the appropriate characteristics checked. But it's not filling.
Thank you for helping me through this learning curve. Any help would be appreciated! Attached is the file.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
This is part of a development project of 200 homes in PA. I do have 8 years experience in remodeling homes using Softplan, but just got tossed into the Chief mix for new construction. I can now focus on some MLS renderings for Monday and then get back to the architecture details. You all saved my skin as I just picked up the software a couple days ago.
So much appreciated and am very pleased that there is a talented community behind the forum. No doubt I'll be running into other dilemmas as I come up to speed.

Thank you. I posted the plan and the elevations view. Let me add them here again. I am in a situation where I am less concerned about the detail, but need to get renderings to a client.
I simply can't seem to get the back wall to behave, in addition to the proper pitches.
I would be happy to compensate someone to help me solve the problem. (I hope that doesn't break forum etiquette).

Hey folks,
I am a new Chief X9 Premier user and have begun so under a very tight deadline. I am required to produce some renderings of a new home by early next week. It is a rather simple and straight forward ranch style, single story. For the life of me, I cannot get the roof build to cooperate. I am sure the problem in inexperience with the software as I just picked it up.
Would any seasoned veterans be interested in taking a look at my plan? I can provide an elevations drawing that outlines the specifications of the roof.
Attached is my first floor and foundation and an image of the elevations.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice. It's somewhat lost on me as I am not sure that is the problem. I attempted that, but it appears to be local to the roof planes - as far as I can tell.
