The closest I could ever get to "accurate" was by adjusting the frame, the sash, and the mullion depth to achieve a look as close as possible. The problem is...is that the mullion and the "extension jamb" material cannot be separated. So if you have wood trim...you see a wood mull strip. Chief's windows are fine for rough representation...but are terrible if you want to be remotely accurate to how a window looks, and is actually built.

Are you using 3D symbols for all your 3D cladding surfaces? If not, maybe it's a setting thing, because mine look like this:

It's all about setting your terrain elevation data correctly. It should build the driveway sloped with the terrain with just the regular driveway tool, but you can use the polygon driveway tool as well. The only problem is that it doesn't cut your curb like the regular one does. Either way, Chief's terrain tools are ok at best, but you should still be able to get kind of close. You might have weird artifacts pop up, though.

Oh, I thought you were adding them to your "Fixed Door" somehow.

Boy...sure seems like they need to work on their stair tool, 'eh?...

Are they custom arrow heads or something?

I'd be curious to see this in 3D and see what you use to get the door seals, etc...

I know this has already been answered, but unfortunately my go-to in "weird things" is to just use solids. Maybe that stems from older versions where you always used to get odd behavior when you tried to do it the way it would actually be built...so I would just create everything manually. Good to see that there are better ways to do these types of things now.

Looks like your roof plane structure is set too thick. If it's supposed to be that thick, then you need to adjust your fascia to cover -or- adjust your walls to fill the gap -or- fudge it with 3D Solids. But it's hard to tell without looking at the plan. If you post the plan, we can better diagnose for you.

You could also try AI to see if it will create one for you.

Depends...if it's 10' ceiling garage all the way to the back wall, then your higher fascia needs to run all the way around to where the ceiling drops again. So what you're showing is incorrect. If there is a room on the back side of the garage where the ceiling height drops, then what you're showing is correct.

15 seconds in AI got this. I set the texture to 48x48, and had Chief generate the pattern for me. I set the threshold to something like 180 so it cleared out all the noise and just left the horizontal lines. Looks pretty close...other than I don't know what your reveal is. But this should scale appropriately.

There are a pile of tutorials on Chief's website, along with some on YouTube. There's an entire section just on Roof's: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/#playlist-95 Do you have a vision for this roof, or a plan that you're copying? It appears that you're overcomplicating it... You can also attach the plan file to your post, and someone might help you take a crack at it.

So instead of creating plans within the project file, you're creating "new" projects and the plan and layout name stays the same.
