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:

Unable to see the photo.

I can confirm this works in my situation. Apple thunderbolt 1 & 2 = mini display plug Apple thunderbolt 3= USB C plug

Have you tried importing direct from excel? I don't use excel (numbers for mac) but it works for me.

If you are making the wall definition to include glass walls it will not show up in a window schedule as that is not how they are built. You can build a standard wall with other definitions but for the glass portion to show up in a schedule you would need to place window symbols into the wall.

Just to add in. (haven't done this with sidecar as my desktop is a Mac Pro 6.1 so it's not available with that setup.) but I use a 32" samsung curved as main monitor and currently am trying out in portrait mode my LG 25" ultrawide (using it basically stacked as two smaller monitors.) I had it in regular wide format previously and I liked it but have noticed lots of people use it in portrait so am trying it. It does give alot of real estate right next to the other monitor but is a little harder to get used to where the mouse dives over to the other monitor since it is taller than the main one.

That is a nice option. My wife's monitor (Dell) has that and it came with the USB A-B cable.

Nice. What is the USB Cables for?

OP has a Mac pro desktop (professional desktop version Mac has and not a laptop. That particular model does not have HDMI ports rather 6 Thunderbolt 2 as it has dual video cards so has to bring them together to the mainboard for distribution to the monitors. I use dongles (already had them before I changed monitors for wife's old setup). But a quick search found a good review and cheap price on these cables: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5RY8D7/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01N5RY8D7&pd_rd_w=6yuNz&pf_rd_p=48d372c1-f7e1-4b8b-9d02-4bd86f5158c5&pd_rd_wg=rOC5y&pf_rd_r=KGAAYNPZ7Q62B1ANEDY2&pd_rd_r=8948c729-d3ce-4b0c-a72d-73824097f63e&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzMVdHTVFaMDZaN00mZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAyODE0ODg4NzJVQk8xMFdIQlQmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDM1MTM0NjJGUTNHTUZTM0dQMkMmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWwmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

So many ways. posts, polyline solids, slabs, walls, moldings, etc...

I use thunderbolt to display port adapters with my two from my Mac Pro. Works great. Finally retired my 27” Apple display and went with a 32” Samsung curved and a 25” ultra wide LG.

I guess we should put a disclaimer that NO DESIGN OR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS IS GIVEN OR IMPLIED...

Like this? Open below room railing with same definition, open your terrarain around the "room"
