When manually editing the roof it is often helpful to work in both 3d and 2d. You can clearly get intersection points in a plan view. Click on the roof planes with the "3" hot key. That will make breaks in the roof planes. Then if you click on an edge of the roof plane and hit "3" it will give you your options on which plane to then join. You will need to break ("3") the adjoining planes so they can join up. After you do it a few times it becomes clear how to get roofs to join.

Uploading your plan will probably get you a better answer as this could be a number of things. Likely problem is that one of the roof planes is misaligned and that is why the rake board is not building.

How slow do you want to learn? When I first started using Chief Architect I paid for some one on one training. I used 4 hours of training over about 3 weeks. I think those 4 hours paid me back in 100 hours of time. Prioritize the right training and only a one on one tutor will be able to get you just what you need for your projects and workflow. It should quickly show as a cost savings to your business.

If it is CADD lines from AutoCad, you can import through the file menu. File-> Import-> DWG/DXF. Then position and scale your cadd lines on page 0 of the layout.

That sounds like a Sketchup project.

3d or 2d text?

Also, do you see it crash or does it end prematurely due to power saving issues on your computer settings? When I run a PBRRT walk through I generally have to disable power saving settings.

I am guessing but it could be memory resource issue. I would try rebooting to clear any memory from your current session and running the animation.

I am careful not to send something to my clients that is not fleshed out to the point that I really like the design direction. It is very dangerous to send something too early without putting enough attention to detail and have the client love it.

I have the Slim Lenovo. It is good but not great with PBR, NVIDIA RTX 4060

Definitely odd behavior. I would try closing the browser and reopening. I have not see that happen before.

A picture would really help with this question. But, the wild guess based on what you wrote is that there is a foundation wall not aligned with the wall above.

I know there are people with the time, skill and budget to create very photo real images. My preference for most presentations is using the PBR with line overlays. I generally have the line thickness set to .25 for a very subtle punch out of edges but it still keeps it on the sketch render end of the rendering spectrum. I rarely use a 3d tree for that reason since that would be a graphic mess.

If your opening looks how you want it to look and you want a railing in the opening that is some sort of scroll/ironwork Juliet Balcony type thing- it might be easiest to grab the balcony railing section you want, export it as symbol (make it Millwork) and then just place it in the opening.

Thanks, that works like a charm.

For that other project, I built a full model of the adjacent house since they were the neighbor requesting the solar study.

This presentation was a circular fly around with some titles added. You can do searches for copywrite free music. This music for this was in the public domain. Be careful about adding music that is not in the public domain if this is for business. I use Adobe Premiere for editing. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2nepbw0esiodaveyhqwvs/Santa-Fe-3-SW-a_14.mp4?rlkey=93va1uz8zl54l2rdpvjghrapc&dl=0

I use the walkthrough tool as a "view from a single curve" tool. If you are putting the CA camera on such a path it is a losing battle. this is a recipe for nausea and not a good way to tell the story of the space. If you want to effectively show that many spaces I would make simple camera moves along a curve and then use a video editor to fade in and out of the segments. Limit your number of keyframes, I almost never have more than a start and end keyframe. Don't cross between rooms for your curve if you can help it. Make sure you have the camera set for as many lights on as you have on the floor or you will get those light turning on or off as you cross rooms. You can also use light sets to manage this.

Do we need to do a welfare check on Ed? What other forms of self harm are you engaging in?

I think this will become my next suggestion. We should be able to have lintel control similar to rafter tails. I tried to fake it with a bevel casing and the wrap but the result is not what I would expect.
