Hey everyone, so I have a wall that is partially above and partially below the roof line. I have opened the wall and, in roofs, checked the setting that defines the lower section (interior) as an "Interior 6" wall type. I've then gone to materials and changed the material type of the lower wall section to drywall. Within the open wall window, it shows the lower wall section as drywall, but when I save and close, it does not save and reverts back to the exterior finish type. I'm using X15 and have attached a pic of the interior view as well as the open edit window, showing the changed finish materials. What am I missing? Thanks, Scotty

Thank you all!!!

Thanks VHampton. I was hoping to be able to do just that, but because I'm using the dormer tool, dragging the roof plane isn't an option like it would be if I had actually drawn in the roof. The only option is to make it larger, but it never seems to connect the two roof surfaces. I might have to resort to drawing in the roof planes and figuring out the dormer wall situation. I just feel like this should be a dormer option in CA.

Hello all, I'm trying to draw a dormer roof that doesn't have an eave fascia and, instead, comes to a point at the bottom of the valley. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? I've attached a pic of what I have for reference. I'm using X15 and the auto floating dormer tool. It builds the dormer just fine, with the above limitation. Thanks!!dormer eave.pdf

Good morning everyone. As a follow up and for clarification, I was sent a set of house plans to modify. yes, I have permission. They were drawn with CAD and in DWG format. From what I can tell from previous posts, it's not possible to import the DWG and convert to a .PLAN format, allowing me to work with in Chief Architect. When I say "work with", I mean able to work with the file/ drawing just as I would any other PLAN file in Chief. I'm perfectly able to re-draw the house, but it seems crazy to do so when it's just a few modifications the client wants. I am using the latest version of Chief Architect x14.
