Your Welcome , it's not finished and I didn't really know what kinds of Walls you use or want there so Everything is mostly 4 1/2" Brick with Plaster or 9" Brick with Plaster and some Walls are 9" Brick with a Stone Face with a plaster interior. I wasn't sure if Siding was really being used or you just used it since it was the Default Wall being a CA Newbie? but any wall can be changed easily and new Definitions made if necessary.

 

The 2nd floor Roof was okay , it just needed to reach past the walls so the roof would let the Attic level walls build properly , the issue was actually the same on the 3rd level. , I'll see if I can make a short Video.

yep, All the walls which are thicker mean 9'' brick and thinner are 4'' brick 1/4'' Plaster in & out. Stacked stone is used for the front elevation beautification and also used inside living area just to pop up the ventilator from inside.

Used the siding just because it was a default property otherwise exterior walls will just get Plaster. I know I can set my own default but siding does not bother me either. Advance thanks for the video demo.

I have also requested some samples of front elevation if you deem it good, would be a great opportunity in learning new ideas. I do have a couple of ideas which I want to share but looking for a dynamic one.

Did you just Open the plan in X10 or did you Try copy and pasting into a X10 Plan?  copy and paste could be an issue yes.

 

M.

Don't remember what did I do but now I have opened your Rev1 plan in x10, it's too smooth and neat. Thank you. May I have a video demonstration on how did you fill all the roof gaps, especially of the top floor, between shed roof and walls?

As you will see I changed many of the Walls to how you normally build there , as well as playing around with a few other things to make it work better, if the Building is between two other Buildings it maybe better to ROUGHLY model them too so you can pull the Roof Plans right to the other Buildings. I think I remember working in another plan of yours and the Issue there was also that you had use Interior Walls for Exterior walls and light was bleeding into the house....

 

There shouldn't be any reason you can't move the plan into X10 or even X11 if you have upgraded this week.

Ok, I will give special attention to the exterior and interior wall next time. I tried to shift the plan to x10 but some of the imported symbols and CAD blocks which I created for false ceilings became problematic.

Ok got it Aamir..... did the Room have any light Fittings in it before you strip it ? CA will add a ceiling light to the Room if there isn't one placed by you as CA needs "light" for the 3D views.

 

Are you still using X9? is your Signature correct? I will need to use the same Version as you....

 

- Always a good idea to build a foundation , even if you don't need one for the Project , as CA expects one and so Lighting works better..

    same for a Roof , add one or a floor above

 

- I am not sure what the Large Brown "Boxes" are ? see red arrows, are they Correct ? just decorative?

 

- You can see the Roof needs to come up perhaps another 2-3", using Main Layer only for your Walls means you can't see that the Roof is "in" the Wall.

 

- The Gap is in the room on the 3rd Floor Correct? not the 2nd floor where the "light issue" was?  ( I don't see the light problem now either ) 

I think it maybe because like on the lower roof (2nd flr) the Roof plane does not extend fully over the walls, except at the front.

*Walls in CA NEED a Roof / Ceiling to Build upto. *** I think that was the issue

 

- You are also Using Interior Walls, as Exterior Walls in the Plan which may or may not help with the "light issues" you are experiencing. I'll make a Wall Type and see.

 

It isn't Perfect , but here is your Plan back to have a look , done in X9 .........................Aamir77_gutted_MHD_Rev1.plan

I think I have removed all the light fixtures yet again to err is human. Yep, I am using x9 for this plan as it was initiated long ago before I got to the X10, I do have X10 also. I did not bother going into the foundation phase for this plan because at that time I did not hire a contractor. Depending on the expertise of the contractors i thought, better leave it up to them just because of their practicality so I left it at the beginning. I love to learn proper framing and foundation but for the time being, I am a noob at it. yep, the brown boxes are just decorative. I would be obliged if anyone of you leads me to a better front elevation of the said plan. Problem faced was in the room on the 1st floor whose shed roof is passing halfway over the ceiling (pic#1). The shed roof of this room got disturbed after my indeterminate tries to fix the leaking light issue. The gap between walls and the shed roof was just like the gap on the 3rd floor before. The gap on the third floor is my second concern but that gap is not leaking any light though it needs a serious correction from outside I would thank you if learn how to correct it too. Yep, the roof plans are restricted from both left (2nd floor) and right (1st floor) just because of the presence of tall buildings both sides (Overhang should remain inside my own building). I know, I have made mistakes somewhere using interior walls as exterior but that can be corrected anytime, I might be wrong. I am going to have your reply plan downloaded, let's see. By the way, I would like to thank you one more time for your patience and time with my substandard plan, I am a hobbyist and this plan would be my first constructional experiment. I am in the building foundation phase of the said plan in real at the moment.

A rough copy of the plan I have posted above but strangely the problem of the beam of light is not showing as soon as I withdraw the symbols from this plan.

I can't tell from the Pic what the White "gap" area is .. stripping the plan is still be best idea if you want some help. One thought is that perhaps you have two roof planes there drawn one on top of the other by accident? ie one roof plane hidden inside the other?

 

The Roof does not continue over the wall at the top of the Building , not sure if that is where the Light "leak" was , see my image below , the roof plane should be like the Blue lines I marked.

 

the yellow arrow is where the exterior wall layers look messed up , where the Gap or 2nd roof plane is...

 

that wall looks really think but it maybe correct?

I will share the plan here, I have made many mistakes in the plan, I know but for the sake of demonstration to the contractor, I just need good rendering. Feels like this defect would drive me crazy as I was about to share the plan of just the structure removing all the symbols and stuff and suddenly the shade of the light vanished so I thought  not to post but later when I opened the main plan removed all the stuff in the room to see whether it was good or not, the light shade came back again.

On a side note, as you keenly noticed the picture, higher side the roof is not continuing along the line,  I would like it to be the same I mean do not go beyond the side wall.

About white gap between the rafter and the wall is an attic wall which does not touch the roof, don't know why.

An update on the issue is as soon as I was removing the symbols and fixtures of the room to make structure clear and to share with you guys the (.plan) file. The light spot vanished itself. What I felt that some material was problematic which I am still not been able to recognise. Anyway if it happens again I would be back to you on that matter. For the time being, I do have another question which is how to finish the gap encircled in Red in the picture attached.

Have you built a foundation yet?

 

Regarding your large plan file, have you ever used Dropbox to share your plans with others?

 

Also, if you have some symbols that are causing your plan size to be so large, you could try "gutting" the plan and just create a new file with just the structure and not all the other stuff.  Then compress and zip that plan file (*.plan) and post it here.  I agree, hard to troubleshoot problems without looking at your plan.

Yes, I did not build the foundation as I felt it not necessary to me for the work I am doing. I remember just once I tried the Dropbox option to share a file long ago. Pardon me I do not get what ''gutting'' is!  About compressing into a zipped file, I can try again if I am able to understand how to handle symbols I have imported into the program and all the stuff I have created like CAD blocks and other stuff.

Automatic walls only usually appear on the Attic level (A) and you shouldn't be drawing walls and making rooms on the Attic (A) level if that is the case?

I did not try to create a wall or a room at the Attic level. Just a simple shed roof but yes the shed roof contains half of the room. Is that possible what I am doing?

I know my wall definition might be wrong but I want it to be 4.5'' thick no matter what material it possesses. In fact, I am in a part of the world where we use this definition for all wall types. The whole plan is just for demonstration to the contractor.

This wall definition is wrong , your main layer is 3.5 inches of drywall....

 

Please expand the dialog and let me see it all like this......

A step further into the investigation I found this unwanted wall created by Chief itself. If I try to delete it, a pop-up window appears saying this

The walls look very thin , are they exterior walls ? what does the Wall definition look like?

 

it very difficult diagnosing something like this from Images alone...

Side walls are 4.5 inches thick.

apparently, no beam of any light feels leaking under the ceiling from within the room but that white spot all along the wall on the floor looks weird

another illustration could be with cross-section elevation

Yes, the shed roof doesn't cover the whole room a bathroom wall underpasses it. I do have a BC cross-section of the shed roof which is attached herewith.

I think he (solver) means the computer file (.pln) not a floor plan view. Looks like you have a baseline way off from a wall, that might be where the light is coming from

 

(.plan) file is over 200 Mbs, cant upload.

Plan?

Hi,
I am stuck with a problem while creating a shed roof. I am unable to clue this light source on the floor, looks like some gap in the roof. Help (CA x9)

thanks let me check.

Hi,
Any lead on how to increase "Absolute Elevations'' and ''Relative Heights'' in a double story house???
I want to increase the ceiling height on the ground floor.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

How to make this kind of enclosure where a wall goes to the top of the ceiling but the understair place remains open. Urgent help will be highly appreciated,
