@jtcapa1 - attached is a screen clip showing what Rene suggested...just use a custom gutter profile and adjust the horiz/vert offsets. You do have to turn on gutters for each edge.

@KnotSquare - Can you create/post a cad detail of how you want the porch ceiling to look? I'm confused because in your post you state that you don't want at "boxed" eave...but, you want the ceiling of the porch to extend to the back of the subfascia. The porch room ceiling will only extend to the wall that creates the room...it won't extend to the back of the subfascia. Also, where exactly does the load bearing main layer of your stud walls on level 1 sit on the ICF foundation wall? Does the frame wall main layer sit directly over the concrete portion of the ICF wall? Does it look like this?

@KnotSquare See notes on screen clip. - Is there supposed to be a beam over the top of the columns? Or...will they be extending to the soffit?

If you post your plan file...someone will give you the "exact" solution. Without a plan...we are all guessing. To upload a plan...close the plan and from explorer (windows) drag the file into the post. You may need to zip the file...

Does this look correct? You have most of the rooms and some foundation walls not set to use "default". I'd start there. Go to Edit>reset to defaults. Choose floor zero...and reset top/bottom of walls and floors/ceilings. This may not fix everything...as you have similar issues on the Floor 1.

I'm unable to download the plan...it says it's unavailable. So...not sure what your exact condition is. You will discover that you need a wall that extends at minimum to the end of the stair in order for the auto rail extension to work. The stair tool is just a "basic" tool...and it has needed some improvements for a long time.

@bdammeyer - I posted a fixed plan above.

Nothing big...but you didn't mention to change the default floor/ceiling platform. To me...this is something that should be done before you start drawing, but...if you forget to change and all your rooms are using "default"...all you have to do is change the floor/ceiling platform...and, you need to check the framing defaults to make sure the rim joist and joist spacing is correct.

Fixed plan attached; Partial Plan File Fixed.plan The 9/12 gable roof was not centered...also, one side was 9/12, the other was an odd pitch (see screen clip). There are also extra break nodes in the valley that prevent joining of the valleys.

@Skip_D - To correct the framing quickly...just change the defaults. Skip_D @ Chief Talk - Changing floor framing defaults - Watch Video

@Jake1976…maybe you had it set as a balcony and changed it - and auto rebuild deck was unchecked.

@HeatherMcK - What height is the 2nd floor ceiling supposed to be? You have it set to be 77.5"...which is too low. I'm assuming you meant it to be 97.5"... Also...windows typically are 80" above the floor. The 2nd floor windows are located about 67" above the floor. Can you clarify?

@Jake1976 - A deck works differently than a typical floor platform. You can use just about any wall type to create your deck rail...chief does not extend the finish materials across the floor platform. See my attached screen clip...where I use the "Siding-4" wall to create my deck. The finish material does not cover the beam or the newel posts either. The one effect the wall type does have is that it centers the railing wall on the width of whatever wall type you are using.

Kevin - I'm a bit lost on this project. Can you provide some sort of screen clip to show where the garage was originally? See my attached clip...do I understand that this area use to be a garage, and now you are putting a basement in it's place?

Questions...see screen clip. The "red" lines are the walls currently in the basement. Will you be placing a wood floor over the existing garage floor? At what elevation is the current garage floor in relation to "zero"...which is absolute elevation of the first floor.

Not sure...but, I just opened your plan and it appears you do have "stem" walls for the garage...and, the floor is dropped below the top of the stem wall. What is it you are trying to do?

Send to layout using a "Saved Plan View"... Chiefs out of the box template comes pre-defined with some SPV's.

@ChiefChrissy Here's the way I'd do it; Insert a "room divider wall"...in the newly created room check "flat ceiling Over this Room" and if needed set the desired ceiling height. This new wall will create the vertical fill between the flat ceiling and pitched ceiling plane. See attached screen clips;

Please post a plan...or sample plan. Otherwise we just guess... Thanks!

Is the walls, normal layer locked?

I'm surprised that using a custom "reference" layer display set hasn't been suggested. I don't do a lot of remodel work...but when I have I create an "as-built". Then, I copy the "as-built" plan to create a new plan called "demo plan". I either create a unique saved plan view...or just a unique layer set for displaying the walls that have to be demo'd. I use the "wall hatch" tool to fill the walls that need to be removed. This fill is on it's own layer. The walls for the as-built typically are white...and I've turned off framing of these walls. It seems to work well enough. Example Demo plan; New Wall Plan;

You can open the schedule and delete all the columns...except those you need. You can even "rename" the columns. If the material name isn't what you want...you will have to edit the material itself. You could make a copy of the material and give it a unique name...or, just rename the existing material. See the attached screen clip;
