@stevenyhof - you are too kind. Thanks!

In my video I use a modified Kohler symbol...and I don't have this issue. I've opened and closed the plan and created new camera views...no problem. Weird.

So the problem is that the symbol is not cutting a hole in the custom countertop...or, it does, but when you open the plan at a later date the "gap" returns? I've tested this on my MAC...I've saved the file, opened and closed and created different renders and the sink is always in the correct position...no gap. I wonder if it's a video card issue? Or...am I not understanding the real problem....admittedly I'm not sure if I do.

Not really a bug...whomever created the undermount kohler sink symbol did not locate the z-axis correctly. Watch the video... Kevin Whitt - Fix for undermount Kohler Sink (not a bug really) - Watch Video

One idea...build a 2nd floor. You'll have to adjust the framing...and make the great room open below.

Is this the problem? You want the joist on the lower ceiling to sit directly on top of the wall?

You need to define your fireplace walls in a different manner...watch the video BDillard1 - Fix Interior Wall Definition - Watch Video

There isn't an "auto" solution really...busy work. I attempted to use a transom window, changed the glass material to color-white and moved the window more toward the exterior of the window. This looks ok from the exterior...but of course you'll have a transom window on the interior...which I'm sure you don't want.

Maybe a wall material region?

@dshall - two words, "pour groups". Watch the video... Scott Hall - pour groups are the problem - Watch Video

@dshall Scott - you are correct, when rebuilding the framing the plate does disappear...of course it's easy enough to manually place a plate there...but, yea, because it's a pony wall the plate actually wants to build on the top of the wall...so, my "open no material" idea works somewhat...but ultimately it's only an illusion. One thing that is important to notice....when I changed the foundation wall to an 8" conc. stem wall...the foundation fixed itself. The monoslab abutting the foundation doesn't seem to have anything to do with the weird behavior of the 6" conc. stem wall extending through the floor framing.

@dshall - Here's my two cents...definitely weird behavior; Scott Hall - Stem Wall Foundation w/Slab - Watch Video

It can be done...sort of. Not fully auto...but close enough. MADCOWSCARNIVAL - Porch roof over other roof using auto roofs - Watch Video

Chris - where do you get a 6 3/8" Sub Fascia? Why can't you just construct the roof with a 5.5" Sub Fascia...and adjust the size of the fascia board to limit the offset between the soffit and the bottom of the fasica? Seems to me this provides a similar result...and it eliminates the issue with the porch beam. Just FYI. I just opened the X13 Residential Template. And constructed your plan with auto rebuild roofs turned on. The software placed the baseline directly over the main layer of the porch wall (Interior-4) as it was supposed to with "automatic birdsmouth" checked. When I unchecked this box...the baseline moved inward...but it didn't seem to move the roof plane.

Yes - but in my video I used auto build roofs and the baseline was never placed in the wall center. The baseline is a line that extends from the exterior surface of the main layer to the top surface of the rafter…so why would Chief move the baseline inward towards the wall center? Weird behavior for sure. And - changing the room type would correct the beam elevation. Weird

@Chrisb222 - definitely weird. I think the gable end sub-fascia is the issue but this could be a tech support issue. Chrisb222 - Porch Roof and Beam Alignment Issue - Watch Video

It's really fairly simple to create a "cricket" once you know how to do it...watch the video; Quick Tip: How to create a "cricket" roof plane - Watch Video

@VKennedy - moving the roof planes is a simple fast solution. Another strategy is to use a custom "reference layer set"...you can have as many as you want...and assign ref sets to a saved plan view.

@VADA2020 - I edited your plan...review what I did. The key being "roof cuts wall at bottom".... 1446195903_WilleyProposed2 - Steve Edits.plan

You need to post the Chief plan file...close the plan, then upload it here.

See screen clips below...you need to set wall tops to "default"...and make sure you have selected "Hang Floor Platform Above On Wall".

You might try learning more about reference displays. You should create an "as-built" file...save it. Then create a new file for the new plan. In the new plan you can then reference in the "as-built". You can even reference the "as-built" elevations into the new elevations. Chief did a video showing this technique; https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/5435/using-the-reference-display.html?playlist=100

Why do you have "point markers" in Cad Details. Just use end/end dimensions. Point to point dimensions should only be used as a last resort. See attached simple detail;
