I use Trello, I only use the basic options for it, but you can get pretty sophisticated with it if need be.
-
Just curious, what are the 5 programs you hear are being used?
-
It is not a live view, you will need to update the view if you change the model.
-
I am sure there are others that may have a better solution, but I changed the wall definition slightly for the thicker stucco wall, that seems to help.
-
Theres one on Sketchups 3d warehouse, no idea how accurate it is m3.plan
-
The frieze board on the front was raised up 12" for some reason. Might check that.
-
Looks like the lower roof needs to be drug up slightly so that it touches the upper wall.
-
Theres a couple of ways to do it, but typically I put my schedule on a CAD detail, then send it to Layout from there. Hope that helps.
-
h I believe it has to be on the same level as the roof plane as well

Thanks @SNestor , always nice to see different ways to accomplish these things.

Heres a good article from Chiefs website https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01144/creating-a-custom-molding-profile-for-an-exterior-door-s-casing.html

It might help to post the plan so others can see what you have done so far. Steve Nestor has posted some really good videos, you might try this one:

Plat Book 66, Page 38? Not sure what your question is, but the North Arrow shows you...North.

There are some premade ones in the library, search for "corbel". Or you could make your own out of polyline solids.

I'd probably look for a laptop that is designated as a gaming laptop, they tend to have better graphics cards and more memory. I have a Sager, but I also remember I was considering an MSI laptop. Alienware is also known as having good laptops.
-
Will the laptop be your primary Chief Architect computer? Or is it for taking out to client presentations etc? or both? I purchased a Sager, with a fairly high end graphics card that has works well, its a little heavy, but thats part of the price you pay.
-
Pretty sure that would not fly in our area.
-
Its hard to tell from your picture, but heres an article that may help https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00930/creating-custom-muntins.html

A technique that you see done on a lot of Florida homes (which tend to have a lot of offsets and angles) is to incorporate covered porches and verandas to square off the plan and make the roof lines potentially simpler.
-
Why are you considering switching?
-
You may have to uncheck "draw rails"
-
I believe you can also check the box for furred wall, to keep from having a room definition.
