Thank you! I reviewed what you did and that helped me edit my plan. Now I’m no architect or architectural designer, I’m an interior designer and I was definitely questioning this roof plan. It really doesn’t seem practical for drainage? Is that your concern too?

Thank you, this is helpful. Roofs are definitely not my strong point and always intimidating to me. I agree the roof plan is a little crazy but it is in fact what was drawn on the architects roof plan and they have section views of each elevation of the home confirming ridge and base heights as well as pitch. I’ve gone back and found one issue with the plan as attached and have fixed that and will go through and follow your advice on how to clean this up and join roof planes. I’ve been able to fix a good amount of vaulted ceiling issues so far but still having trouble in the area above the dining area where the vault I believe continues all the way to the entry. On the interior it is just not showing up correctly. appreciate your guidance! Krissy

Hi there!! I personally use canvas to scan clients houses and upload and convert to chief files. This has saved me so much time on modeling/as builts and I highly recommend as an interior designer. I have had great accuracy as long as I provide them with a thorough scan. The pricing is pretty reasonable in my opinion as well.

I have plans from the architect on my design project that has varying ceiling heights and vaulted ceilings and we are having issues with the ceiling showing up properly and I'm just not sure if we are going about things the correct way. We first went through and built all custom roof planes per the architects specs and then are going back inside to edit the ceilings which the vaulted areas have a different pitch than the ceiling but it's messing up heights of the rooms and making walls disappear and it just feels like a complete mess and we don't know where to start fixing things. Any help would be appreciated. Photos attached for reference and plan uploaded. Chief x16 premier Welch Proposed- Kitchen, Wet bar options.plan.bz2

I'm trying to figure out how to accomplish rendering a "tipping rail" or "gallery rail" on the shelving for my kitchen design for a client that specifically wants this look. Please see the attached link to the product we are buying:https://www.etsy.com/listing/1411610590/brass-shelf-rail-tipping-railgallery?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_-home_and_living&utm_custom1=_k_Cj0KCQiAo7KqBhDhARIsAKhZ4ugpEEjFLXoYCKjWysrE6LdI46Vh8ufoWynZsn1LBzif_6-o8W3JYZgaAk2hEALw_wcB_k_&utm_content=go_12665398257_121762925993_511610210343_pla-303628061699_c__1411610590_12768591&utm_custom2=12665398257&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo7KqBhDhARIsAKhZ4ugpEEjFLXoYCKjWysrE6LdI46Vh8ufoWynZsn1LBzif_6-o8W3JYZgaAk2hEALw_wcB I'm trying to apply this to shelving in chief.

I'm having issues with my tray ceiling showing the ceiling between floors as open versus finishing the sides. Not sure how to fix this, thoughts?

This did the trick! Thank you!

I tried that and it still is not replacing the layer sets he created or overwriting them.

I have a chief file I received from an architectural drafter and he has customized all of his own layer sets which does not work well for how I do my interior design sets. I've been trying to figure out how to get the settings to go back to default settings and clear out his custom settings but so far have had no success. Any suggestions? My main hang-up is my elevations- his settings turn off all finish details and cabinets and pull in different dimension defaults and I just want to use the standard kitchen and bath defaults for my elevations. Thanks, Krissy

Never mind I got that to work! Thank you!

Not sure if I did this right but it isn't working.

I have a half wall that will have a counter on it for bar seating. It is wanting to auto snap the half wall to meet with the room divider I created as the family room is a step down. How do I make this not auto snap to the room divider as I don't want the wall extending into the step/walkway. See attached photo.

This is so extremely helpful! Thank you for explaining how to do this. I've worked on this for hours trying to figure it out.

Here's a bird's eye view of the house. Unfortunately my clients haven't closed on the house yet and original owners were outside so I did not want to walk up to their property without permission and take photos.

I drove past the house today and the roof is a combination of the Gull Wing and Mansard because the side walls do not come to a peak like a gable. Trying to figure out how to do this. When I follow the steps for the mansard roof it comes up to a point (I attached a screenshot) and I don't know how to make it flat on the top.
