Glass house view? cross section? 3d as Erick mentions?

If this comes up you can duplicate the page before it and delete any cad work or layout boxes referenced for that sheet. Would have to fix any page naming you have if using macros to auto fill that info like I do, but pretty quick.

Yuppers. I have my layout file setup not only taking into account a large three story home but with all possibilities such as for roof framing if not trusses, m.e.p for all floors, landscaping, grading, etc. if it’s a smaller home or simpler plans then just delete the unwanted pages and it’s quicker to flip through and it autocorrects the sheet index and order.

Yes exactly. You would just replace the a-1# with a-12.1

Part of my goals. I just have it setup in my template with A-0# (9th page) going to A-10 then A-1#

Haha thanks Rene

If you set it up on each page with the # sign it will auto populate based on used oages for example my typical set is G-01 G-02 G-03 A-01 A-02 A-03 S-01 S-02 S-03 etc... put in whatever you want it to preface with I.E. G-0# will auto populate the sheet number .

Still looks like that wall is stopping about 3.5” below the roof which the program sees as a ceiling plane as well. Could be even if you have that ceiling definition clicked off you need to delete it. But again it’s impossible to say without seeing the plan file for sure. If you don’t want to upload that then I would send it to tech department to see if it’s a glitch.

I agree with What Mick is saying above. One thought though is that 1.) may not be a glitch rather you may have a ceiling surface for that "room" defined in which case it shares the same space? Just a thought, hard to tell without the plan file.

Looking for something like this? (warning super rough but just for example). Foundation room with terrain on 1st floor set at heights, front wall drawn as same wall as below with an 18" height railing setting (play with height for actual terrain as this needs to be somewhat of a retaining wall.) Set elevations and breaks around it.

So this must be a glitch with that template. Here is what happens when I tried it this AM with my personal template. Kind of annoying since I used the client's existing template to clean it up to her requested standards and settings and she doesn't do anything with wall schedules as any remodel work, addition work, or permit necessary construction documents I do for her. I guess I should have insisted and started from scratch maybe... Anyone know if the errant line from above is caused by a certain action or is it just a bad template?

Have you tried playing with your terrain level? Maybe have the floor you want on 0 and your terrain on 1? Or vice versa?

Most likely your Original issue with the errant attic walls was because your foundation walls were not lined up with your other walls and it was auto generating the necessary attic walls. Most likely you caught it and fixed it then you were able to delete those walls but may not have realized that is why.

When placing a wall schedule into a cad detail and trying to show a longer sample of the wall 2d symbol (as well as match up size of other schedules that will be on the same sheet, an errant spacer line shows up and will not go away until that column is smaller than it. Anyone else seen this? Am I doing something incorrect?

Of course that would be for both sides of the wall with the siding layer as well. Curious and haven't messed around with this but doesn't roofing work the same way too? (effectively the same type of deal as the wall.)

You may try: actual foundation level below the subfloor of “basement” level aka floor 1, your upper floor would be floor 2 including your garage. on your level 1 you would have the walls that are buried as the same wall definition as the foundation. The floors not over a suspended floor (aka crawl space area.) you would set as concrete floor and foundation and the crawl space would be the opposite.

Like this? You really should designate rooms before you get to the roof building portion though.... Just a friendly tip. As far as getting the roof to autobuild, It is just a matter of telling the program you want a lowered ceiling in that lowered area. Try reading up on shelf ceilings. One click and fixed.

It sounds like you have Home Designer Pro vs Chief Architect Premier ( or Interiors ) so it maybe better to ask on the HomeTalk Forum instead of the Chief Talk forum. https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/5-qa/ Many aspects ( basics of CA ) are the same in Pro to Premier but there are many more things that are not available to do in HDP. I would reccomend searching there. Some of our power users such as @solver & @DavidJPotter frequent that forum and hopefully will be able to be more helpful.

Response of the year right there!

If you don’t make a room like Eric is talking about, which will allow Chief to auto build the roof, then you will have to manually draw the roof and set the heights. The way you are drawing it is manual instead of telling Chief what you want and allowing it to build the project. Chief allows manual work to be done but it’s best if you use the manual roofs and posts beams in connection with the auto features. Build a room with invisible railings or room dividers and then try to auto build the roofs.

If I am not incorrect you can Daisy chain those usb C cables together.

No chance you have two cabinets there right?

Check your foundation level to see if you have a foundation wall there? Glass house also helps check weird items like this.

Very nice and glad it worked for you. Just wanted to add one thing to this post for anyone finding it that someone else mentioned regarding this behavior the other day in a post: When you are building your model once the roof goes on, Chief will automatically add in the attic walls to fill the gaps between the ceiling and the roof planes. They are OOB set to automatically build and as long as you have them turned on it will do it's own thing. However if you change them by changing the individual setting, "painting" a new surface, or try to delete them they lose their auto behavior. Now if you change your exterior layout or roof as you almost always do at this point then the attic wall will not move or rebuild properly. If you then try to delete the "errant" attic wall it will automatically add in an invisible wall in it's place as the system thinks you don't want it to show there so it is filling in the gap with an invisible wall to still close the proverbial ceiling roof box... You have to delete the invisible wall as well or you will get a weird remnant (like you saw in this case.) on the outside of the new attic wall. If you delete the invisible wall after deleting the attic wall and there is no need for the attic wall with the current setup then it will not rebuild. Hope that description is helpful. Great looking model btw!

Still what I am seeing:
