Need advice on how to do this the easiest way possible

I had a similar situation with some townhouse units awhile back. As I recall, it involved a lot of cut and paste. Take a look at this article from the Knowledge Base (scroll down to 'To copy and reflect a structure') https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00284/using-the-reflect-about-object-tool.html -

This is what I get when I import the file into Chief: I think what you need is the ability to export as a PDF which my DWG viewer won't do. Perhaps someone with a full version of AutoCAD can accomplish this.

I've found that it takes some experimentation with the direction and tilt angle along with intensity of the moon. Have you toggled off the sun? -
Trying to generate an exterior ray-trace view at night
ericepv replied to ADallas's topic in General Q & A
Have you tried working with the 'Generated Sky' controls in the 'Background' tab of the camera DBX? You can control the moonlight intensity, direction and stars. -
Trying to generate an exterior ray-trace view at night
ericepv replied to ADallas's topic in General Q & A
If you want to create a nighttime scene, you should start by changing the color of the sunlight (as I did with the early evening scene below) . Your background makes a difference as well. It would help to post your plan. -

One more option for the unwanted Freize section is to unlock the 'Roofs, Trim' layer and then individually select and delete that one section.

When I got my new system, I used Zinstall, everything came over without issue Transfer Programs and Files to New Computer, to Windows 11, Windows 10 - Zinstall As a manual install did not work for you (from a thumb drive??), perhaps you should contact tech support. -
Sounds simple enough, have you sent a test file to your client to open?

Regarding your first question, I'd use a polyline converted to a molding. Wrapping the roof around the house is just a matter of drawing some roof planes As you are new to Chief, have you watched this video on drawing roof planes? https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/25/drawing-roofs-manually.html?playlist=95

Archived backup file won't open. What do these messages mean?
ericepv replied to GeneDavis's topic in General Q & A
If the latest file you can open is from a few days ago, you may have to rebuild it from that point. Do you have an external backup (cloud or external had drive)? -

ericepv replied to GeneDavis's topic in General Q & A
It sounds like the file is corrupted, do you have any other backups in your acrhive?
