This may help...

You can also make that exterior stairwell a room and check Hide Terrain Intersected by Building. i. The program will place an automatic terrain hole in your terrain using the walls on the same floor that your terrain perimeter is on. ii. Generally, you want to place the terrain on Floor 0 so that cantilevered building areas like boxed windows do not cut a hole in the terrain. Only your foundation walls influence the terrain cut out.

Hard to help without a plan file, but here are some notes: The red check mark indicates the default value is selected in the adjacent box. The ceiling elevation defaults are in Room Specification> Structure tab. The floor and ceiling elevations of a room are affected by those of the room(s) directly below and above. Common solutions are to delete the foundation and/or align the walls of the room with those directly above and below. This is an area of CA where I think users should seek a little training; along with roofs, foundations, and default sets. It helped me back in the day.

Howdy Jason, Select a roof plane drawn over the entire area to be covered. Edit> Copy and paste in place. Move the edge of each where you want them to be different. Change the roof layers as you would like. Best, Charles

Maybe, your insulation layer is marked as framing in that checkbox. Highlight the insulation layer and look.

Nice! I highly recommend ChiefTutor! Full disclosure: I consider Dave a personal friend and a business associate.

Why don't you link that post here for others to benefit?

All good input. I did not see a comment about the MBr having direct and visible access to the Great Rm.

This is what I do, and make the interior wall have no room definition.

Howdy All! I am available to help with your designs and/or training needs. Also, I can assist your customers that you would like to refer to me for a 10% referral fee. Just email me or give me a call at 210 744-7489. Here is some information about me and how I work: I am a creative designer and proficient using Chief Architect 3D Design software. I have acquired unique experiences and perspectives from my collection of work as a designer and builder. I have degrees in structural engineering (BS Rice University) and architectural engineering (MS University of Texas at Austin) and have planned, designed, developed and built various, diverse projects over my 30+-year career. I utilize the latest technology and software like Zoom Meeting, Fathom Notes, OBS Studio and Snagit to work with customers live online and to record "how-to" videos for builders, designers and DIYers. I offer design assistance as well as training for beginners to intermediate Chief Architect users and all Home Designer products. I have worked with homeowners, builders, designers and architects from all over the U.S., Canada, New Zealand and England. I offer money-saving design assistance as well as training in using Chief Architect software. I am available to design your home from concept to working drawings, assist you in learning Chief Architect and/or improve your existing home design. Whether you need a home designer or just a few hours of training, I can accommodate you. Thank you in advance, Charles

Look here:

It looks like you moved the wall AND the roof plane edge. If the roof plane covers the wall, you will not have that problem. This fix may not be how you prefer to fix it. It is just one way. Best, Charles

Or (Option 2), cover that wall with this roof plane...

Similar here. Currently on a desktop PC with and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. I have a new desktop PC in the box waiting for me with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070.

For Residential Design: Use Arch D if at all possible. Use match lines before using a larger sheet size when practical. Always keep 1/4" scale for floor plans. (Elevation can be 3/16" scale as necessary.) Give plumbers dimensions from edge of foundation to plumbing wall main layer on plumbing side (from 2 foundation edges that are 90° to each other).

That was all I was saying with: "3. For a 12" heel height, you would make that number 12", not raise the roof 12"." Best, Charles

That's what I typically do.

No one can answer that accurately. It can mean different things and needs to be defined for each use. That term should be clearly defined in your written agreement. It could mean anything that you want it to. But when it is not defined clearly, you are asking for an argument that is not necessary. Read your contract carefully. It should always be defined there. If it is a poorly written contract, fix it.

1. The bottom of the bottom cord IS the rough ceiling (just like a ceiling joist) and it is always on the top plate. 2. Gene's image below shows the minimum heel height. 3. For a 12" heel height, you would make that number 12", not raise the roof 12". 4. The easiest way to do this regularly, like most things, is to set up your defaults correctly before you build your roof planes (including ceiling heights and roof structures).

What do y'all think is the best AI for now to do CA 3d renderings without too much fuss? What is the starting point and what kind of prompts? I am just starting to play with AI and it is very exciting. Best, Charles

I show a measurement from the outside edge of the slab to the near main layer of plumbing wall, in two directions. So a plumber can easily locate the drain from there. This prevents a plumber from having to add several measurements on the jobsite, misreading where those measurements start and end, etc. Also, if the plumbing wall is drywall and gets changed to backerboard, thinset, tile, etc., your dimensions are still good. Symbols cannot be trusted to represent the actual product. Also, tubs and showers are placed up against the main (framing) layer of a wall. So the center of the exposed part is different than the symbol's center.

Engineers are licensed by each state. What state is the project in?

Try Googling T1-11 siding.

Most of my jobs are 100% LED. With the adjustable color and competitive cost, it is a no-brainer. Some geographical areas will probably have a rebate program due to the lower power consumption.

Suggestions: Share your plan. Make sure your layers are not locked. Share your plan. Charles
