Hmm I tried changing the tilt to zero (it was already roughly zero) and significantly changing the index of refraction on the middle window and it had no effect. I am quite sure it is a problem of settings, but I don't know how (or if it is possible) to get the backdrop adjustment settings from the camera settings to apply in the ray trace. To be more clear, the spherical panorama, when imported, by default, looks tilted due to the curvature of the image, until I make manual adjustments in the "spherical panoramic backdrop" dialogue box (see attached picture). That is what I meant by tilt. For example, by adjusting the "vertical max" slider, I managed to fix the problem, but when I do the ray trace, it is like it ignores the setting and reverts to default. So the manual adjustments to the backdroom only seem to work in the Full Camera but not in the ray trace.

What can I do to keep the backdrop from moving when I do a raytrace? In the example I show, it is a spherical panorama with adjustments to the tilt made in the camera settings, however the settings are not kept when doing a raytrace which causes it to move. In the two images I have attached, the one where the backdrop is placed correctly according to the settings is the Full Camera view. The other image is the raytrace. x14

Join the two planes on one side and extend it. Then I guess adjust either the pitch or the corner wall height until they meet. Thank you, it was so simple!

Yes, that's what I'm hoping to achieve. How did you do that? I am not sure how to raise the corner wall except manually/informally dragging it (locked to Z axis), and them I'm not sure how to either get the roof to follow the wall, draw the roof planes on top, or drag the roof corner (locked to the Z axis). Or is it something that can only be done using 3d objects? (Chief Architext X14)

Hi, I am not having any luck finding a way to create a certain type of roof in Chief Architect. It is basically a square folded in half diagonally, leaning on one side with the 4th corner raised up so that it forms a straight folded line. It's raising the 4th corner that I am having a hard time with. I have illustrated what I mean with a piece of tin foil as well as an example from a house (with two such roofs). Would anyone have any leads on how to achieve that? Thank you
