Here is your file after I made the changes Cozy Cabin Plan File For Zipping.zip

I don’t think you needed to make that wall a balloon wall to get it up to the roof sheathing. It looks like the issue was tied to the “Auto Rebuild Attic Walls” setting. Once that’s turned off, you should be able to draw those walls in manually and have better control without needing to use a balloon wall.

I was able to fix most of it. I wasn’t sure what was causing the issue with the railing walls on the porch, so I went ahead and rebuilt them from scratch. Would you like me to send the file back with my updates? Also, it looks like you were running into the same issue I recently learned about. I had to turn off “Auto Rebuild Attic Walls” in the defaults—this setting can really cause problems on custom builds.

That’s too bad, I hope CA didn’t block him. It sounds like he may have just been having a rough day. Hopefully he comes back. I’m also impressed seeing everyone step up and offer help. That’s really cool to see.

I changed the wall to a baloon wall and then drug the handles up where I wanted the log to stop. Took me about 20 seconds.

Hey guys, On this same project, I’m running into a situation where I’d like to build a room over an existing room that has a low ceiling. I understand how to physically build it, but I’m not sure what the best way is to make it work properly within Chief Architect. Any input or direction would be much appreciated. Just to clarify what I’m working on, I’m converting the garage into an ADU and adding a second story over the garage and part of the existing living room and dining room. Plan is still attached New Plan.zip

Good idea, Thank You

Getting rid of those attic walls is what fixed it. Not sure why it generated the attic walls.

Not sure why this post wont move out to the corner. Any help would be appreciated New Plan.zip

I have X17 and until you just now said this I realized that evertime my system shuts down on me its when Im working in CA. So I guess it may not be my computer thats the problem, could be related to CA

You can hold the control key and select each window that you want to include but I dont think you can include the mulled units.

I’m sorry to interrupt but I just want to make a comment/compliment; I want to say how impressed I am by your intellect and memory. I appreciate your help whenever I need it. I'm a more out of the box user, dependent on the writers of the program and my work isn't on the same design level as yours. My more complicated builds I subcontract. Anyway, the point was to tell you how much I appreciate you guys and learning from reading these post even though I don’t understand some of it.

Anyone know where I can find a double sink similar to this one?

Thank you,

Hey Guy’s, Is there a way to apply board foot cost to a specific species of lumber so that it will automatically total the cost without having to put cost into the materials list individually by size of lumber? Appreciate any guidance if this is even possible

This is a nice one, I love it. Thank you

Thank you thats great. I showed it to my customer and she loved it. Home depot has several styles to pick from

I have one of these in my family room. I love it! But mine has doors in the front so you dont have to open the top to get inside. Its great when I want a table to do personal study time or sometime I eat at it. Very handy. Also a great place for a blanket and pillow when Im in the dog house Just kidding, I dont have that problem with my wife.

Up for a challange I would pay for someone to create this for me. Unless it already exist somewhere. Wood Coffee Table with Lift Top and Hidden Storage Compartment. This would be perfect for these ADU's im designing becasue most of them are tight spaces.

I did the fixed door and placed the dotted line where I wanted it. It was the easiest solution for now. This is rare that I would need this type of door in a drawing.

Thank you!

I dont care if I cant see the dashed line. Good idea, I will try other types of doors so I can get rid of the dashed line.

Hey Guy's, Does anyone know where I can find a single-panel, tilt-up garage door? It should look like this as the symbol or not have the dashed line at all. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you, Rene, I'm not always good at articulating what I’m trying to say.

I’m not always required to have a surveyor because the boundaries are pretty clear on most lots but sometimes on larger projects or lots were the boundaries aren’t clear. Thanks for your input!
