While PNG files are generally preferred for editing (they allow for a transparent background), a JPG files are smaller which can make a difference if storing a large number of files. In either case, saving as a higher resolution (300 dpi or better) is generally required for print quality.

I supply my clients with a JPG file. Also,it's important to save at at least 300dpi to be suitable for printing.

Using invisible walls, I created a room within a room with a ceiling height that is 12" lower than the main room. I then placed the vent as shown:

You can use the CAD as a pattern to trace over.

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

Make sure your video card driver is up to date.

I had a job like this recently, I drew the walls with poly-lines. It came out pretty nice but as Perry said, it's a pain.

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 was able to open both files in Autodesk TrueView 2021, this is what I got:

Place a doorway (blue) into the wall sized to the dimensions of your wall cabinet (red) and then place the cabinet into the doorway...

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?

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.

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.

I ran into this same problem on a project last year.

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

Just a few simple changes will take care of your issues The gutter is there, you just need to change the color so you can see it or view in Vector For the roof section where you don't want a Freize, open the DBX and in the "Freize 'tab, delete the molding profile For your protruding fascia boards, change the Eave fascia to 6"

Your file is blank. Be sure you close Chief before you upload it to your post.

Without seeing your plan, I'd say make sure your framing layer is turned on.

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
