Attached is my plan. Why are my porch walls creating a break in the house walls? Some corners are not broken but some are. Thanks for the help. plan.zip

Most of the house constructed in my area are built with trusses for the house and rafters for the porch. A 12" energy heel is used on the trusses. When I create my plans it gives a 12" heel for the porches also which make my elevations not quite right. Is there a way to keep auto roof on and use trusses for the house and rafters for the porches?

Attached is my plan. I am having some issue with siding/drywall/etc on some walls so I am thinking I may not have set this house up the right way. 11' tall walls on 1st floor. 8' tall walls on 2nd floor for the middle section on two sides using space under rafters so 0' wall height at exterior wall and increasing in height as you moved toward the center Thanks for the help. house.zip

Attached is my plan. I am using the lower wall type if split by butting roof but my wall either shows all siding or all drywall. How do I get the exposed upper part to be siding and the lower part of the wall to be drywall? Thanks for the help. house.zip

Is it possible to use roof trusses for a house and rafters for the porch and keep auto roofs on? Or do I have to manually edit the porch roofs and turn auto roof off?
-
thank you so much

I manually edited the roofs. If you rebuild the roof you should see the issue.

That worked but now it is creating a small roof where there shouldn't be one. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

Is there a way to get a porch slab to overhang the frost wall by a couple inches?

Change interior foundation wall to strip footing
Jambruins replied to newkeller11's topic in General Q & A
I am not sure how to get it to change to a strip footing so I just uncheck the option to create wall/footing below and draw two lines and chang them to dashed so they match the footing lines. Not quite what you are looking for but it will work. I am interested to see if there is a way to have chief do this automatically. -
I have selected same height eaves and for some reason one gable end has a 24" overhang and the other end is 12" like the hip walls.

I have auto roofs on. Why are some of my roofs showing with a 2' overhang and why are some of the fascia's not aligning? Thank you for the help. house plan.zip
