I did see that one, but still couldn't quite get the little bump out to quite line up. Still need to do some practicing! Thank you for the offer! I hope your family member feels better soon.

Awesome, thanks guys!! I'll have to check these out a little closer to see where I went wrong. I did the extra roof plane on the left side because when I was drawing the main front half of the roof it kept going into the bump out wall. But I couldn't get it to quite line up even though it looked very close so obviously the software wasn't fooled. I'll mess with it again and try to replicate what you did. Thanks again for the tips! Brian

I have a mostly gable side to side roof, but the front of the house has a small bump out on one side that has a hip roof extension (not sure if that's exactly what it's called, but what it looks like to me). This is my first plan so I'm just getting to learning all the features. I have the roof drawn as I want, but the far left side isn't matching up to the other pieces as there's a slight gap. Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated! Plans and pic attached. Thanks! Brian 3106Glebe06142014 fixed.plan

Gotcha... good to know! These are just as builts so they don't need to be exact on the type of material I don't think. Most of that wall will be coming down for a new front porch (I think). Thanks again Brian

Awesome, thank you!! I'll check out the videos. Was it just wall definitions that fixed it?

Room definitions are not turned on yet. Although I did just fix the issue by the rear solarium. I drew a dividing line there and it added a floor/ceiling so it no longer thinks its outside space. I have not done the framing yet. I'm still working through some issues with the roof. I can get it to create the gable roof I want, but the front bump out on the left is giving me an issue doing a little hip roof there. I thought I should build the roof and then do all the framing at once? Or does it not matter? I did try to - reset to defaults - all floors - floor/ceiling heights - earlier and that didn't seem to do anything for me. Thanks, Brian

Oops, didn't attach it the first time. Here it is. Thanks! Brian 3106Glebe06142014.plan

Thanks. Here's my plan which is pretty small right now.

New user here. When checking out the 3D of the as builts I'm creating for my ranch house I see a gap between the foundation/basement floor and the first floor. I searched and found a KB that addresses this so I thought it would be a quick fix. The KB - http://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00038/ - says to check the box on the outside layer to "build platform to selected line". Problem is all of my exterior walls already had that box checked. The only wall that is extending to the foundation correctly is the partial stone wall in the front. As far as I know I didn't build that one any different than the other ones. The exterior is a strange mix of pony wall brick, full brick, stone, and vertical siding. I'm using X6 to create the plans. Any ideas as to what else can cause that gap? I have not yet built my framing so I thought maybe it would fix itself once the joists were in there. Other than that I haven't been able to find anything in the manual or in searching. Thanks! Brian
