Hi @Steve_Nyhof! First of all huge thanks for this incredible thread. I learned so much and everything you've provided encouraged me to take the plunge and start working on my own renderings directly in CA. Please see the attached screenshot. The rendering is not complete but that doesn't change the outcome. I'm getting those light stripes and the dark horizontal band on the background image. I tried changing the sun position, the image position and the image orientation to no avail. It doesn't happen with the spherical backdrop. Applying the backdrop has no effect on the stripes. I'd greatly appreciate any pointers any of you could provide please. Best, Onur

Indeed @Kbird1. Thanks. I could have sworn when I first tried that with X12, I couldn't get it to work for some reason but nevertheless, I am now able to freely resize following Joe's method both in X12 and X13. Thanks again and apologies for the false alarm.

I have a similar challenge to Richard's original post except that I am trying to do two single doors that are 9' wide each. Is there an easy way for me to accomplish that working with the existing Wayne Dalton library items?

@Kbird1 Thank you so much for your time and help here. For some unexplainable reason, I had always mentally associated that setting with only slabs. Works beautifully in this case.

Thanks @joey_martin but when I do that for some reason I lose the sill plates altogether on that stem wall. Basically I end up with a gap between the top of concrete and the rim joist.

Hi All, I have what should be a very straightforward case: I have a rectangular existing house with a full basement and an addition with crawl space at a lower elevation, 7" in my case. Chief automatically lowers the stem wall of the main house for the stem wall segment between the addition and the main house while also creating a jog with the rim joists. I have not been able to figure out how to control this behavior. If I manually edit the stem wall in a section view then for some reason the sill plates disappear from that wall altogether...

Thanks for the video Eric. Very helpful. So basically what you and Mick are saying is that I am not missing anything here. There's nothing wrong with my roof or wall definitions but rather that these are actually software bugs. Obviously that's rather disappointing for a tool like this. Should I be reporting this to someone or is this already a well known issue? And thanks to you both for the quick response here. Much appreciated.

Hi All, I can't seem to get the frieze molding to generate/render correctly on these extended rakes. The overall roof is effectively like one big Nantucket dormer. This should be simple but apparently not. Problem exists both on the front and the back of the house despite the slightly different exterior walls though the front looks to be a bit worse. I am using X12 Premier on top of the line MacBook Pro. Plan file also attached. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. Beach House.plan
