I have seen no lack of tutorials, just no what steps to follow. I can find one on beams and joists, one on building a floor, but none that show what steps in what order to build if that makes sense. is there one in specific you suggest. I could be overthinking this... I do this.

Is there a resource/tutorial/ how do I... design home from scratch. I've always used chief for things like basement floor plans and remodels, now I'm into trying to design a home from scratch... I'm unsure the proper steps to follow, and wondering what steps to design. do I begin with basement, then beams, then joists, then build a 1st floor etc, or do I build the 1st floor and worry about structure later... or is structure built from floor plan design... Any tips, pointers, tutorials that cover the proper process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all the help!! Ken

so simple... Thanks everyone!!!

It is a Home design plan file, opened and edited in chief.

The exterior wall that adjoins the open to below vaulted ceiling area... how do I change just the inside section to be open. You will see currently it shows the exterior wall inside the home. I tried doorway, but that didn't seem to work. Help is appreciated.

Can Chief architect open home designer files flawlessly? I was given a file to open, and it seems to have a lot of weirdness, items not quite matching up ect. WOndering if I can open them without errors, or do those errors exist in original plan? Is there a way to import it better, then simply opening them. I can't find the roof in chief??? how do I edit it?
