I just started using Chief and I would LOVE to know how to auto label items. Can someone help me out and point me in the right direction?

I used the room settings to add a monolithic slab foundation throughout the house.

The problem is I don't have a level 0 to do my foundation plan. Is the only way to add level 0 is to use the build foundation option in the build menu?

I did try this once and it worked except it added a monolithic slab under my patio and wouldn't allow me to change it.

I appreciate any help with this. I'm fairly new to Chief Architect and self taught.

Alright, I got that figured out. 

Is it possible to add siding to the railing?

Have a look at this file it should get you moving in the right direction

That's exactly what I was trying to accomplish.

Can you explain or record the steps you took to do this?

As-Built.plan

I've attached my model if it would be easier to help me accomplish this.

I'm having a bit of trouble creating this carport. 

First off, how do I create the partial wall on the right?

Secondly, how do I create a gable roof like this? 

Thank you @robdyck. I will give that a try later.

Hello everyone, this is my first post here!

I recently made the switch from AutoCAD Architectural to Chief Architect and I'm still learning the ropes. So far I'm loving the software and wish I would have made the change sooner!

I do have a question that I cant figure out and haven't found anything though searching.

I have a two story house and I've successfully added the stairwell opening, however, I do not want the opening to occupy the entire outline of the stairs. I only want the opening to be big enough to meet the required head clearance. Can I adjust the automatic opening to achieve this or do I have to create the opening by other means?

Thanks!
