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.

Is there a way to have the door label text be positioned like in the attached picture without having to manually drag it there for every door?

I want my truss to have a 6' overhang to provide a roof for the front door and small porch. I know how to change the overhang to 6' but how do I get the bottom chord of the truss to extend horizontally out 6' instead of sloping down with a 5:12 pitch? I want the headroom on the porch to be as the same height as the wall.

How do I notch the roof? I'm assuming I need to insert snap points to the roof plane but I can't figure out how to insert them.

Why are my walls getting cut out from the porch roof? See attached picture. Thanks.

Thank you

How do I draw a deck between a house and a garage? There will be a railing on the rear side and on the front side but on the two sides of the deck it will be the exterior wall of the house and garage. When I draw my front and rear straight deck railings they show up fine but there is no floor.
