If you let Chief Auto re-generate the framing I think it will redo the Piers too , try the retain option on the deck tab of the deck room once mods are finished M.

It appears to be a bug associated with the Eave Plumb / Straight Fascia Option , turn auto roof framing back on and switch the option with Edit All Roof planes and they go away. M.

Not unless I missed it too? M.

Yes a short section of Room Divider may work , it just stops the two walls actually joining by placing it perpendicular to the railing wall BUT it may break the Room Definition too. M.

Yes that is the one , I added a picture up above now to clarify. Unfortunately like you I have found it doesn't always work as expected, but the documentation is not really deep enough to know why. M.

You made a good point so I thought I better make it easier for future readers

even with the picture ?

Do you still have all the Textures Files from those old ChiefSymbols Libraries? M.

Chief always (has) joins Walls along their Centerline , the only way of not doing that is the new Option that came in X11 , is to make a new Walltype with the Partition Wall Option Set at the very bottom of the Wall Definition - this is supposed to allow two walls to touch surface to surface only and still remain joined to get Room definition. ***Not sure if it will work in this particular case though.... *** Edit.......... M.

Might be worth playing with the Half Post settings in cases like this..... M.

But if you need too occasionally just uncheck the Behavior Indicators checkbox in Preferences > Edit >Behaviors at the bottom any of these could be attached to your Icon - so it might be worth a look to as why it's there before you turn off the Indicators 1st.

You need a second floor as noted otherwise Chief won't allow roos on the 2nd story. Build your Roof in the Gambrel Style with the IGNORE 2nd floor check box on in the Build Roof DBX Then cut holes in the Roof planes and add your Shed Dormer(s) manually. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00915/creating-a-dormer-in-a-roof-with-multiple-pitches.html Mick.

If you do a of of manually reframing for a deck it maybe an Idea to also set the Retain Framing if Room is Deleted Checkbox too , incase you accidently detach a railing or something.

You should start the Plan in the Metric Template if you know beforehand you need cm or mm etc. M.

Yes try the Balcony Room , this will stop the insistent " deck over living space Error message" you can change the Balcony flooring to look like Decking. M.

In X12 it is now possible to frame individual rooms but you may be able to add Joist direction and Bearing lines in X11 and get what you need. M.

(3) x 32" identical Benq's here and no issues , my ALDO and Library live on the outer screens. Are all screens on DP cables ? or are you using HDMI? mine are all DisplayPort , but have seen some weird things with people trying to use HDMI to say a big Screen TV. M.

Mark's method is how a lot of Roof work must be done in the Lessor Home Designer Titles as there is no manual Roof Tools , Only Home Designer Pro has them. M.

I don't think so in that particular case ...... Break the right or left Roof plane's edge and drag it over and through the other side.... lapping it over the other one, ensure they are co-planar then use the Union Tool to join the two roof planes into one. M.

This is a common problem and is suspected to be due to different screen resolutions - many posts/threads on it here on the Forum over the last 2-3 years. The easiest fix is to select your text tool , marquee select ALL the text in the Plan , Open the DBX and Close it again without doing anything. Mick.

You're right of course , I was thinking about the current state of the Software and how difficult it would be to place "Symbols" to do it and the fact you'd need to know the plumbing Code to place stuff correctly. M.

I look forward to the complete Library with 90's,Tees, Wyes, and couplings I do however hope we are never required to do a 3D Plumbing "Plan" ...... M.

Thanks that could be a handy symbol and much easier than a 3D molding polyline at least for a straight Vent Line...

These are two pics of example I have, I have saved over the years from here on the Forum in case I ever had to do one....

You're joking right ? go around ??? hahahahaha , thankfully they banned Plumbers from using Chainsaws, not that a good Sawzall and fresh Blade can't create havoc for your local friendly Framer M.
