    Extra roof overhang causing wall to go up.

    in General Q & A

    I have a small inset wall between two walls further out.  The auto roof was trying to keep the same overhang and inserting valleys, etc.  I changed that wall so that the roof overhang would push it out to match up with the other walls.  Yeah, roof builds like I want.  However when looking at a cross section, it's now building up that wall higher.

     

    I don't need it to extend that wall higher.  The trusses will rest on the original wall height, just stick further out.

     

    Is there a setting I'm missing to do what I want?

    Scott -

    Break the railing pony wall at the where it intersects with the wall with the door @ the first floor.  Make this section of wall "roof cuts wall at bottom".  Place a ceiling plane...which should trim the wall. You will probably have to clean up things with a solid here and there.

    Any way to set newel length?

    Maybe...you don't use a railing wall. Just use a Stucco wall, then insert doorways, no jamb, no casing. You should make adjustments to the doorway rough opening settings...no need to have a framing added 1" or so when you concrete block with stucco.

    Pony Wall Doesn't Display

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    @KristjanM - am I missing something? Seems to work for me. I created a pony. Lower section is 10" concrete wall with a 2x6 wall on the interior. Upper wall is 2x6 and contains a window. I the attached screen clip...I opened the wall, in the "wall types" section I selected from "display in plan view"...lower wall.  The window is showing.  

     

    This display is independent of using "saved plan views"...

    My Chief Skills - Screened Porch Library X14

    in Offering Services

    Posted

    I have a new video that shows how my "Screened Porch Library" for Chief Architect Premier works with X14...and it works great. 

     

    It's the easiest and fastest way to create custom looking Screened Porches...and if you are using X14 you can now see through the screen into to room. Fantastic new improvement the engineers at Chief have brought us. 

     

    Have a look...
