(3D) Molding Lines should work , although quite a bit of work I imagine..... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00934/creating-hvac-and-plumbing-runs.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02840/generating-3d-ductwork.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02882/using-3d-molding-polylines.html

The posts above are correct and I am not sure if they allow an upgrade to X12 now that X13 is released and of course X14 in the next 6 months I assume. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/products/sysreq.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/blog/computer-for-design-and-gaming/

You must have your Terrain Perimeter (TP) way too big to generate out there , and because your Elevation Data does not extend to the edge of the TP Chief WILL generate it's own data to "fill" in the blanks.... Try using just the Purple Line ( your PL ) as the TP , ( pull TP lines in and snap to purple lines) and regenerate with these settings making sure the elevation date is OVER the TP Lines.

The Library has it's own Webpage https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php the KB (FAQ) section is here https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/database.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php Mick.

what happens if you turn you daytime intensity down to say 500 or 1000? *and check you don't have Gray Glass instead of STD Glass spec'd in the windows.... M.

set the floor joist size on level 1 to 14" , and the 4x3 material in Defaults>Framing>Trusses Then draw your truss ( click and drag) wall to wall. Seen this one? https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/339/framing-with-floor-and-ceiling-trusses.html M.

@ACADuser Alan might be worth talking too if he has Time.... M.

Set the Main House as the Default for Level 1 in Defaults And Open the Garage Room and set the Floor Structure to 4" if needed ( set it as a garage normally does this )

Use the normal exterior Wall and the Roof Tab to set Lower Wall if split by butting Roof....

Might be a similar behavior that Graham ( KitchenAbode) posted about a couple of years ago ? at least his thread came to mind.... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/21163-provide-a-top-plate-lock-in-the-roof-plane-dbx/ M.

Of course not...... I just took the top and bottom lines* in Robert's DWG and converted them to Elevation lines and input the Heights , Chief did the rest Auto. * you need a minimum of 2 Elev. Data points/lines to force the Terrain to move.....

Since you use HDP 2021 , try asking over on the HomeTalk Forum as well , they are more familiar with your Software than here on ChiefTalk https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/ M.

You need to convert the major Contour lines ( Red) in Chief to Elevation Data ( Lines ) and set the Heights on each one.... The DWG doesn't do that automatically , at least not in this case..... * do NOT let Elevation DATA touch or cross each other or weird and wonderful things will happen eg spikes and holes.... Yellow data is not needed, Chief will generate the secondary contours automatically. Mick.

A long known Issue , some are having luck with Nvidia Latest Drivers......

It seems to be a Card that Chief has always had issues with...... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/search/?q= 5700 XT&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and M.

True oops....I was thinking Toolbars , not Scrollbars......, with both Windows and MacOS , you can change the size, and whether they show all the time, and I know on a MAC , on some systems they come with have Scrollbars OFF by default, so Chief can't use them even if on in Chief. Windows 10 will also hide them if this setting is on.....

Since you haven't done your Signature , I am only guessing as I don't know if it the OS or Chief is causing it....... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/18908-signature-here-at-chief-talk/?tab=comments#comment-155662 1 thought in Chief might be the button size

If you are looking at a Website Selling it, be VERY Dubious about it's authenticity. M.

This should put you on the right path.......

You can't buy SSA for X12 , current version only , for X12 you would need to upgrade to X13 ...but that includes SSA and is currently $625 on Sale.

Oh...sorry the "cheap trick" is to just assign the same texture as above ( copy and paste down ) , and then play with the values.... M.

Chief Walls always try to join on the centerline , but in some situations Chief can't decide where each material should stop and needs a bit of help, which is where the Wall Layers Edit Tool comes in.... click on the Wall , then the Tool on the Edit toolbar and you will see more diamonds appear to pull the wall layers, like the Drywall and Framing with.
