  1. Here is a link that describes what you're wanting. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/390/stair-wall-options-partial-railing-wall-under-stairs-stairwell.html?playlist=89
  2. @RichardKnI downloaded the file but when I try to open in Chief it says no data.
  3. @CDaltonLike Rene said, someone might be able to help you out here but if not, I could help you out on a zoom call. Let me know. Thanks.
  4. If its a wall oven it has to be placed in a cabinet.
  5. I think you can have a 5 page layout now.
  6. Hi Alen, I sent a PM. Give me a call if you still need someone to help with you're project.
  7. In HDP you can't add layers to the floor structure, but you can make a separate slab and change the material to Insulation and set the elevation below the garage slab.
  8. Thanks Michael, I do learn a lot from the replies on here and as far as down vote it doesn't bother me because I've been married 45 years and most of my suggestions get down voted LOL. I hope everyone had a good Christmas and has a Happy New Year!!!!!
  9. Check your Plan Dimensions Defaults, Primary Format, Smallest Fraction. Changing it to 1/8" will fix your dimensions in the garage. 
  10. Thanks John, I didn't have vehicles 2 and 3 downloaded and didn't even thick to look.
  11. You have them applied to the window as curtains, apply them as blinds. The three windows I applied as blinds, the single you have as curtains.
  12. Check your ceiling structure and see if the finish is thick. I copied your condition by making the drywall 60" thick in the bathroom. 
  13. I did basically the same as Rene, except I deleted the slab and made the porch in two sections. I set the porch height 12" higher and auto built the roof, then edited the roof planes to clean it up. My wife is in bed with a stomach bug or the flu so me and the dog are bord, LOL. Happy Thanksgiving. 11-17.plan
  14. There aren't walls around the winders to close them off. Try drawing walls and adjusted the winders to match the stairs.
  15. Hi, this is Gary Bills and I'm interested in talking to you about your project. I sent a PM so give me a call. Thank you.
  16. For the front wall problem, Open second floor wall, structure, default wall top height
  17. Here is an edited copy of your plan, I reset the floor and ceilings to your defaults and rebuilt the roof, walls, floors and ceilings. Then I turned off auto rebuild roof and all the framing, lowered the floor for the upstairs then manually drew in the floor joist and rebuilt each wall framing to get the framing to look correct. I was bored so I cleaned up some of the roof that wasn't connecting properly. Someone may have an easier way of doing it but here is an option. Ivy Woods 80'-10 House 202309212043 EDITED.zip
  18. I made a copy of your plan but had to remove the electrical and furniture to get it below 14 MB. You can use it to see the settings I used on the roof and also the porch railing to define the patio area. I hope this gets you going and with some video watching and others helping out. I wasn't sure which version of Chief you're using so if you add a signature to you profile it will help. Williams_fp edit remove electrical and furniture.plan
  19. There are a lot of videos on Chiefs site that cover roofs and with some training you can get the results you want. This was all auto build roofs using the Dutch Gable and upper pitch tools.
  20. It was strange how it built the truss there!!!! I just stumbled into the little room, I was about to give up when I deleted the inside wall in the stairwell and the render changed to a rim joist instead of the floor truss.
  21. Try marking the little room that was formed between the two walls as unfinished instead of open below. Then rebuild the floor framing, it also draws in the rim joist that was missing.
