@Benny_G - you should post a plan or sample plan. Otherwise...all you will get are educated "guesses". Thanks!

I did a video on this topic...check it out;

@Renerabbitt - I have posted my wants a few years ago in “suggestions”…crickets.

For the love of God, give us improvements to the stair tool. Real improvements…not new flashy unnecessary add-ons. All the other new features are appreciated…

Maybe you have incorrectly described your floor. Concrete needs to be the top most layer. or….post a plan.

Brick Sills and Soldiers...(I'm not holding my breath...)

Make sure the "floor Surfaces" layer is turned on in the camera view layerset.

Ceiling planes are polylines...you could use cad polylines to act as break areas for a single ceiling plane. Might be worth a try. In this image...I've highlighted a ceiling plane. If you click the blue cad polyline you can use the "subtraction" tool to break the ceiling plane along the wall edges.

I sent you a message...with a link to a video.

Does this look correct? You need to do this roof manually...you could do some using auto but you'd have to make a lot of edits. Hardly worth the effort.

This video I made a while back might help you get started;

I made this video for a similar condition a while back...should help you get started;

Weird roof plane...I just recreated a new roof and it worked as expected.

Post a plan...otherwise we are just guessing. Have you tried to create this in another simple test plan...and get different results?

Somtimes the simplest fix is to move the grip handle via the "resize about" control in General Wall Defaults to the inner surface.

Save yourself a lot of time/trouble...and just place a solid in the space and paint it. The wall method suggested above is a perfectly good method...if you don't mind spending a lot of time and probably not getting paid to do it...nor, will anyone ever know how you did it...nor, will they care. Just my two cents.

@tsoftwerks - if you post a plan someone will tell you exactly how to do this. It's quite simple actually. So...post a plan.

Please post a plan...

First...open defaults, go to FLOORS AND ROOMS>FLOOR LEVELS>FLOOR 0. Make sure you set "Floor to SWT" to "0" For the patio, First Floor level, you need to set the "Stem Wall Top" to -1.5" so that it matches the floor. If you make this change on the foundation level...you need to place -1.5" for the "ceiling"

@Chrisb222 - FYI...you are able to move the frieze in/out, up or down...I just spaced this. So...if you select the roof planes that need adjusting you can use the roof dialogue "frieze" tab and make minor adjustments to get the frieze board to rest on the face of the railing wall beam.

I don't have this problem...unless I'm not doing what you want? I'm using X15... Step 1...mull the two rectangular top windows Step 2...Select mulled unit and apply a broken arch top Step 3...Mull the two lower window units Step 4...Mull the two mulled units together. ---Done

@Chrisb222 - I like your method...but, the frieze will only build back to the face of the wall. In the examples below I offset the railing 1.5" to move it back to stack on the foundation...then the frieze will not touch the beam in the railing wall. If the beam is 3" wider than the wall it works.

Made you a quick video; TheDeckGuy71 - Exposed Rafters over a deck - Watch Video

I did this automatically. No frustration required The trick is to create a specific wall type for your porches...and then on the "wall properties" tab, specify an offset on the foundation. In this example I specified 1.5". Now...I'm not saying all is perfect when it comes to Chief a Porches and railing walls. I made the beam wide in order for the "frieze" to meet the beam. If you offset the wall...well, the frieze only extends to the face of the wall. But..the foundation part is fairly simple. No need for an invisible layer either.

Open the wall, on the structure tab select “ballon through ceiling”.
