1.) Most likely you hit an unknown hotkey and changed your saved plan view. 2.) Go to the Saved plan view you were on and try a.) F6 to zoom to all extents. If that doesn't show it try b.) making sure you are on the correct floor as well. c.) Check your ALDO (Active Layer Display Options) to make sure you are on the correct layer set. If those don't work then Do a save as and upload the plan for someone to check.

Glad it worked for you. Looks like a nice flip house or remodel.

Try the "Roof Truss" tool.

You may have already done so but you can always call Chief Tech support (part of what the SSA covers) to rule out other issues at hand. Sometimes with PCs and Windows in particular it is conflicting drivers or other issues.

I don't use the beams and posts on my decks and use auto framing to start then reframe my decks manually and set my posts manually (they will set to proper heights if you do it that way.)

Lookup returns in the roof help files.

The foundation wall is not lined up with the wall above.

It works from layout as long as you are using plot lines which is the recommended format as well as what may be causing the issue here.

Help us help you by posting some pictures (use screen grab and drag the file onto the forum box so it posts directly.) Also let us know what software you are using in your signature.

Problem right here. Make sure that your rooms are setup to the proper heights and that your walls are set to default top and bottom heights (wall dbx, structure panel, top two buttons should be selected). If your ceiling plane is manually placed and crosses the wall it will cut it off as that is what it is supposed to do.

Usually better to start your own thread. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00344/modeling-a-subdivision-or-lot-with-multiple-structures.html This article should help you.

I would recommend the M1Max for future proofing as much as possible. I would recommend the 16" as I have found that is the sweet spot of small enough for portability but large enough for working on in the field. They are a great machine and I would strongly recommend upgrading ram and video as well as HDD to best possible. If you are using this professionally invest for the future. If a $500 upgrade now seems daunting imagine if in 2 years that makes the difference from upgrading to the latest version because it is outdated...

In your defaults you can group select all similar door types and change your casings at the same time. That with windows uou can do the same. For base chair rail and crown you can change it by room type or by floor.

Use the correct door. If you want it to look like the railing you will need to build a door symbol.

Did you do an image google search?

With all due respect isn't that someone eles's watermark on that rendering?

Draw it with a railing wall instead set to follow stairs.

@Renerabbittis in that area and is great and does a phenomenal job doing as-builts for me. He has a professional lidar scanning setup.

So just to point out that your AHJ will require an engineer in your area to actually design the foundation system. Most of my experience in San Antonio has required blasting or chipping away the bedrock as there was expansive soils under the bedrock causing the foundation to heave up to 8" throughout the year.

Lock the layer and get used to working with your project browser open and being used to open views.

Pictures and plan file.

You need to set your 0 level walls to use a pony wall with the foundation height set to the -44.25” point and the wall above what we framed wall you want to show there.

Search the forums. The only thing not possible with Mac is the real time ray trace which is only available for certain high end gpus. All of the other features are still available and well worth the upgrade. If you do as asked and put the specs of your machines in hour signature it may help to see if there is a reason why you are having any issues if you are.

Two or more windows. Model it like it’s built.

X12 and x13 have some amazing upgrades that make it worth it if you never use it for renderings. Just for production construction documents alone both upgrades are worth it in my opinion.
