Specs appear to be pretty good, but 5 years is a lot to ask for a computer to stay "current", especially a laptop.

I Changed the roof pitch of the shed dormer to 1.75/12 I believe in order to allow it to join properly.

Take a look at how I made some adjustments, Garage-21x31-forum (1).plan

I probably wouldn't use the dormer tool in that situation. Just draw the upper section like you did the lower and add a shed roof over it.

Is it possible that the mounding is coming in below the ground (obstructing it from view)?

Nice job!

I changed the floor structure in the room dbx to be a 4" conc slab.

I dont think you want to do the slab in the foundation menu. I created this with a slab for my floor system (first floor), then built a foundation underneath.

Probably should post the plan.

I have a similar Lenovo system and it performs well.

Definitely suggest taking a class, Chief has some (free?) at the International Builder Show in Vegas I believe. You could also do one-on-one with Chief. Or one of the many secondary guys that do training - in addition to the one listed above is Dan Bauman, I did a class with him when I first got Chief and it was vey helpful.

I saw this article that had some good deals . Btw I have a Lenovo and like it. https://www.pcmag.com/news/best-early-gaming-laptop-desktop-black-friday-deals-2024

@RenerabbittThats a nice looking material, thank you for making it available. BTW I subscribed to your Youtube channel and I am impressed with your content. Thanks again.

In a situation like this, I don't use the dormer tool. Just build it using the regular wall and roof tools
