  1. Align your walls with the wall below and uncheck 'Attic Wall' in your DBX for the wall ('General' tab) and also uncheck 'No Room Definition'. Which roof planes are you having trouble with? They all seem to be connecting.
  2. My first thought is that you may have an attic wall that is interfering. Hard to tell without seeing your plan, can you post it?
  3. On the toolbar at the bottom of the Library Browser, click on 'Tile Mode' (3rd button from the left), that will give you thumbnails. Also, Rene Rabbit has a YouTube tutorial on the new library browser:
  4. The pull would have to be a separate material from the rest of the door, where did you get the symbol from?
  5. An update of a past project illustrates the improvement in Chief Architect rendering... The original X7 Ray Trace: X15 PBR RT...
  6. The procedure I would use would be to open the DBX for the deck and then specify the material in 'Planks, Joists' (at the very bottom of the 'Structure' tab). What have you tried already? It would help if you post the plan.
  7. Open the DBX for "Adjust Sunlight' and change the color ('Lighting Data' tab) to an appropriate shade of blue.
  8. What's happening with your video, have you idownloaded the most recent video driver?
  9. Are you running the most current video card driver?
  10. Which is which? It looks like a difference in monitor settings. BTW - Your signature didn't update, did you save your changes?
  11. Without seeing your system, the only things I can think of would be to adjust the settings on your monitor and also make sure your video card is running the most recent driver. It would be helpful for anyone trying to give you advice if you were to complete your signature with your system specs (Signature edit is in the panel on the left side of your account settings page)
  12. Sounds like you need to adjust the brightness on your new monitor. As for the difference in clarity between the laptop and the monitor, the first thing that comes to mind is the resolution of the image you're working with. You didn't state what type of file you are working with (jpg, pdf, plan...) but if the original is low resoution, it may look OK on a laptop sceen (15" - 17"??) as opposed to a larger monitor (24" - 31"???). A little more information would be helpful.
  13. Open the Dialog Box for your pendant and in the 'Options' tab, make sure 'Flush Mounted' is unchecked.
  14. I've been working with Chief for many years & I'm in the Eastern Time Zone. I specialize in renderings and floor plans, I'd be happy to help with your projects. PM sent.
  15. Chief will align walls with their outer edges by default. This article covers the topic in detail: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00332/aligning-walls-between-floors-in-chief-architect.html
  16. I misunderstood the OP's intent, Mark's solution is a good one.
  17. You an just place you can lights on your plan view and they should automatically place themselves in the sloped ceiling as long as you un-check 'Flat Ceiling Over This Room' in the structure tab of your room DBX.
  18. Make it from a polyline solid then break the surface and drag it to match your ceiling.
  19. This video from the Knowledge Base may help you out: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/305/subtracting-polylines-that-overlap.html
  20. Sounds like you're new to this, take a look at this article from the Knowledge Base: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00117/locating-and-importing-3d-symbols.html
  21. Since you are sending it straight to Chief, it doesn't really matter which version you choose, I always download the newest one.The only time it matters which version you choose is if you plan to open it in your own version of SU.
