yes i have tried auto building it and that does not quite work so I have been thinking I should do manual and have tried that on few other iterations but I just think I am not skilled enough to pull it off without either reading something or watching some more tutorials. What you sent looks right, May I ask what settings you used?

OK, this is crude but hopefully it shows what i am trying to accomplish. I have not built the foundation yet but the idea is three interlocking squares on a diagonal with a rise in between each "square level" of the house. I am certain I am out of my depth with this design but i really do not know of any other way to learn .

Yes, I want to use a shed style roof on a split level story and half structure. They never seem to intersect in the right way and I am certain it is because i do not understand the fundamental ways that Chief is constructing them. I end up with walls that do not form over roofs etc.

Hi everyone;
I am looking for some advice from the community regarding a thorough tutorial on custom roofs. I have gone through all the video tutorial on Chiefs website and I am still not getting this right. Any advice appreciated.
I am using Chief Architect X10.
Thanks

Evolution:
I think your reply will make sense for the design portion, I want to also insure my plans and drawing are correct and give good instructions for the actual construction. Although frankly as someone who has been in construction I know the hardest part will be getting people to follow them. It is one of the reasons I got out of the the field LOL

I think you answered the question very thoroughly, I suppose it is more of a design question than a Chief question. My goal is to make sure this is detailed properly for material lists , final blueprints and building instructions. So i posted it here, should I have posted it elsewhere?
Thanks Much

Hello:
I have created a glassed in "porch" area and I would like to put an interior garden in it, almost like a small zen garden. The house has a monolithic slab foundation and I am unsure how to go about this since i do not want a room filled with potted plants, I want the ability to create a miniature landscape while still having it be conditioned and inside the enclosed "porch" area. I think the answer is probably going to be incredibly obvious and I will feel like an idiot when someone else provides it but regardless, any and all suggestions welcome.
Here is what i think needs to be done:
- Ensure there is fall on the floor to strategically placed floor drains.
- Waterproof the sills
- Fill the area with gravel to ensure proper drainage to the floor drains
- Create the interior landscape/garden
As above any and all suggestions welcome.
Chief Architect Premier X10 is my current version

I was unable to load the pipeshelf but i was able to import the .skp file. I will be updating fairly soon. and at that point the other file will work. Because of the clients need (He is my husband) I have been doing a lot of custom work for example this morning I am working on a symbol for a GrainFather brewing system...... Nothing fancy just a place holder in the design.
Thank you I appreciate the help.

Thank you, Solver, I can do that. It will also provide he flexibility of changing materials if needed for the final design. Much appreciated. I hope you have great day in Arizona!

Solver, No I could not find picture of exactly what i wanted but i thought if i could get there then i could figure out how to get closer to what i wanted. I would like to do this is a couple of places in my design. In in the bathroom for instance it would be closer to what i posted.
If you would be so kind as to explain how you did the above the drawing i would appreciate it. I am a novice at much of this.....
Thanks

Both good ideas let me see what I can do. In the perfect world what i would like is tempered glass shelves that hang from four rods attached to the ceiling of the kitchen. That is probably nutty....

Split level Door issue elevation Issue?
in General Q & A
Posted
Hi everyone:
I am having an issue with a split level. I am using Chief X11.
The plan i posted does not have foundations since when i add those things get really weird and I think I need to sort out the issue with the levels first or the foundation will never build right. I have a room that is going to be garage however no matter how i define it the door from that room into the main house is above the level of the ceiling. see attached photo. I have also attached the plan. The exterior walls are a sip wall customized according to the manufactures specifications with a layer for the furred interior walls. The total thickness on those walls is 10 5/8" The interior wall is a customized interior wall that is load bearing for use in certain areas of the design.
