If the exterior layers are the same and aligned, the material should blend seamlessly. Have you carefully checked the alignment and materials?

I can take a look quickly if you post your plan file or a download link to the plan file. Remember, the file must be closed when sending the file.

The only difference is that 1 wall has drywall on the interior layer, and the other doesn't. I realize that they are 2 different wall types, but all the materials are the same except the interior drywall. Is there a way to force them to blend?

Is there a way to remove the wall separation lines on the elevations where 2 walls with different interior attributes are connecting? The program is seeing this as 2 different wall types, but the entire wall is the same except 1 has drywall and 1 doesn't. I would make them the same wall, but then the sections don't show correctly.

Initially, I simply checked "Roof Tab - Auto Roof Return - Full" on the long wall and then manually added the roof returns on the bay window walls. Doing it that was lessons the chances of bad manual roof connections. Doing it all manual as you have seen, often makes simple tasks too complicated. I agree with Eric in that Auto Roofs for this house would have been easier to do. To learn more about auto Roof settings go to the Build Roof dialog - Roof Styles Tab for more data.

 

I almost always start a roof system automatically and then just manually edit what it got wrong. The product is the thing, not how it was created.

Thanks DJP. I appreciate the help. 

I've been using Chief for a couple of years. I know enough to get by, but still have lots to learn and tinker with.

Auto build roofs are quick and easy.

 

 

Thanks. The person that I learned from didn't like using the auto roofs, so I never took the time to learn them. I will look into it.

I deleted all of your molding polylines and used a combination of "Auto Roof Full Return" along with manual roofs over just the bay...

Can you show me the settings you used? I tried to recreate it, but can't seem to get it right.

I didn't have these issues before X14. There must be some settings withing the walls/roofs that were updated. Maybe something added in?

On inspection I SEE NO missing trim, it looks great to me but obviously, there is something missing for you. Can you be a little more specific, please?

 

DJP

DJP I've drawn in the trim using polylines. Remove the polyline trim and see if it's there.

Don't bother reinstalling.

 

Have you forced a roof rebuild?

Are the roof planes joined together properly?  If there's a slight misalignment, you'll see odd behavior.

I didn't look at your file but is the camera cut too close to the bay?

Yes I've tried rebuilding. I've checked all the alignments. It's happened for months. Originally I thought it was a glitch with the software. If nobody else has this issue though, then it's got to be the install or my settings.

I downloaded your "file" and it would not open in X14 because you attached it while the plan file was actively open in Chief= Zero Kb=no good, try again but close Chief FIRST before attaching the plan file here a CT.

Thanks, I've re-uploaded the file.

Ever since I upgraded to X14 I've had an issue where the trim doesn't populate on some of my roofs / roof belts. Has anyone else had this issue? Maybe I should try reinstalling X14? These roofs were copied from the adjacent roof that has the trim and has the same properties. It just makes no sense. I sent a request to support, and they couldn't recreate it at the time.

OMG I was doing everything right. I just didn't have a hole in the roof. Thanks for the help!

Hi all. I'm fairly new to the software and have only been using it since October. I have a client who wants a wood framed chimney extruding from the middle of the roof up from the gas fireplace. I've tried a bunch of different options to make this work but can't figure it out. Can someone please tell me how to draw walls on top of the roof?

Thank you!
