Specifically what "adjustments" are causing you difficulty? Just a note; my template plan that I started with in the video already had a 2nd floor. If you don't have a 2nd floor...you should build a blank 2nd floor before you start. This isn't absolutely necessary...but, if you are trying to follow along in the video and do exactly what I do in the video...then you should have a 2nd floor in your plan before you start.

The balcony is a "room". If you click in the balcony...then, open it using the door icon on the bottom edit toolbar...in this dialogue, open the structure tab. This is where you can set the elevation for the room. You could also go to "EDIT>RESET TO DEFAULT...select "all floors"....and select "floor heights". You may need to select "ceiling heights" also. This will reset your rooms to the "default" heights...which are specified in "DEFAULTS" (the wrench icon on the top toolbar)...then go to "FLOORS AND ROOMS>FLOOR LEVELS. This is where your default floor/ceiling heights are stored.

Made you a quick video...there are a number of issues; Ed Orum - Roof at Default Wall Top - Watch Video

Open the foundation walls and on the structure tab, check the box "Default Wall Bottom Height". At some point you dragged this wall up or down... You can also achieve the same thing by going to "Edit>Reset to Defaults>Wall Bottom (choose the foundation level)

I think you just have to turn on some layers in the section camera. This is a back clipped section...I turned on these layers; floor joists, rim joists and floor trusses.

I offer 1-1 training.

Join two lines tool…which will appear in the bottom edit toolbar when you click on the polyline.

@HarrisReno - I think what you were originally attempting is possible (somewhat) but definitely not with the auto roof tool. Here's my attempt...

You will have to use a 3D molding poly line drawn using a back clipped section camera. Of course...depending on what style molding you want to use...such as a crown molding...will not join in the corners properly because of the intersection angle. Time consuming...and somewhat difficult task.

I agree with Mick...there is some issue with the door you placed. So...just change the door to the standard glass panel door...and change the material to screen. Also...you should edit the "pattern" in the material so it looks correct in Vector view. I've attached a couple screen clips.

It will...just make your default stair railing wall a "solid" wall before you build the opening. Not sure that is worth the effort...you can just group select the walls, open them for specification and change the railing wall type to "solid". Same result.

Rob - quick video on importing saved plan views; Rob - Import Saved Plan Views - Watch Video

This video may help a bit...

Import your saved plan views from your template into this plan...

You cannot place walls on top of each other. You should create an "AS-Built"....then, make a copy of that and name it "New Plan". Then, using the reference display, reference the "As-Built" Plan into the new plan....or, vice-versa. You may want to create a unique layer set in the As-Built to reference in.

On the foundation level (Level 0) select the three foundation walls at the Garage. Change the wall type to a 10" (or larger if you want) conc. stem wall. Just make a copy of the current stem wall...change the name and the width.

A wall material region would also work...and probably faster also.

When you built the 2nd floor a dialogue popped up...where you can specify what you want. If you just clicked through and accepted the defaults...Chief just copied your "floor platform" defaults. - Open defaults and go to "Floors and Rooms>Floor Levels>2nd Floor...change the floor structure. Don't make structure changes in your plan in the individual rooms on the 2nd floor. Once you do this it defeats using "defaults".

@BuilderP Open the room just to the north of the lower deck...the room with the kitchen. In this room...change the "slab pour" number back to #1. That'll fix it.

In your template plan...just open your interior walls and on the structure tab, uncheck "Insert Floor Framing Below". Save your template. Then, when you draw new plans...Chief won't automatically place joists under your interior walls by default. You can then open a specific interior wall and check the box if you do want a double joist under it.

Click on the dormer...and then "explode" the dormer. There is a tool presented along the bottom edit toolbar when you click the auto dormer. You may still need to go back to the 2nd floor plan and make a few edits...but the dormer will remain generally as drawn.

Don't move your floors...move your terrain. Keep floor 1 at ZERO.
