Sorry about saying it has a dormer. My original plan did have a dormer on the front but I changed it to a reverse roof. This is for a new house so we can revise things if necessary. Thanks for the help with ceiling planes and I will look at the training videos regarding truss bases. One other questions. How do you get the overhang over the door into the mudroom to extend out to match the overhang of the house roof? I know how to do it manually but is there a way to do it without turning auto roofs off?

Attached is my file. How do I remove the vaulted in the dormer? The scissor trusses will span from the back of the house to front and the dormer will be built on top of the scissor trusses so I don't want to be able to see up into the dormer from the inside. Wallenhorst House new.plan

I created a 2' out x 4' wide area in my exterior wall for a fireplace insert. When I insert the fireplace it shows up the wall above the insert is still open to the ceiling Is there a way to get the sheetrock wall to cover up the area between the top of the insert and the ceiling?

That worked. Thank you.

How do I get casing around the bay window opening? I have attached a picture of my chief architect bay window and a picture of a bay window with the casing that I am looking to add. Thanks.

How do I draw angled support beams for a porch roof? I need to create a beam where the red lines are to support the roof.

I have tried adding a wall but it doesn't work. I selected the room and in the room specifications under structure I changed the floor height to 48". If I change this back to 0" the wall gets closed but the owner does not want the wall to extend to grade. They want to frame in a landing for the stairs so there will be about 48" of room below the landing on the exterior.

How do I get the bottom of the stair landing to close? I changed the floor height of the room to 48" but then it leaves an open section into the house.

Perfect, thank you.

I have inserted windows in the gable end as the house has vaulted ceilings. There is not a 2nd floor. I have inserted some windows in the higher portion of the gable but they show up on the 1st floor plan. I need to put a door on the 1st floor plan where the windows are but the windows are in the way. I tried to put the windows on a separate layer and then turn that layer off but then it leaves a cut in the wall. Any ideas?

I have sent my floor plan to my layout sheet 2 but when I send my framing plan to my layout it changes the floor plan to have the framing layer set displayed. I have tried sending my framing plan to a separate sheet but it still changes the floor plan. How do I get my floor plan to show with the floor plan dimension layer set and the framing plan to show with the framing layer set?

When I layout my basement columns I like to put a dimension from the center of one column to the next and so on. Is there a way to get the dimension to show like the attached picture without having to pick a column and then the next column and then having to drag the dimension up to align it with the previous dimension?

thank you

solver, thank you very much. I will be sure to watch the videos. How do you get a view like that? Is that using the full perspective view? I get the attached view when I select full perspective view.

If I want the top of all of my walls (house and garage) to be at the same height and then have all of my trusses start at this point do I control that by locking the baseline height at the same elevation for all of my roof planes or is this done some other way?

That worked for one of the areas but I can't get it to work for the rest. Attached is my file. There are probably a hanful of issues as I am pretty new to chief architect and learning as I go. Thanks for the help. Kasprzak_House_Option_B.plan

I am having trouble getting the fascia/eave to line up where the shed style roof ties into the main house roof. How do I do this?

Awesome. Thanks.

I can get my corner boards to match the color of the siding but they also take on the siding material look (horizontal lines spaced about 4" apart) but I can't figure out how to get the color to match but for the corner boards not have a texture to them. I have tried selecting a different color with no texture but it does not match the siding color exactly. Thanks for the help.

Perfect. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help. I got the gable end wall to work but I can't get the circle part to close by dragging the attic wall. When I drag the attic wall it gives me the look as shown in the attached image. I need the wall to be trimmed above the roof and below the porch roof.

Please see the attached picture. How do I get the gable end of the porch to have the siding extend down to the green line? There is a little triangle section at the peak of it but I want it to extend down to the green line. Also, how do I get the siding to close in the area where the green circle is?

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like I will just need to manually adjust it for each door.

solver, yes exactly that. How do I do that?

That helped some but you can see in the attached picture that the end of the truss still slopes down. I need it where the bottom chord of the truss extends out horizontally.
