I'm sorry about that! NDS Plan.zip

I've rebuilt the foundation several times trying to fix this issue. NDS Plan.layout

How do I go about editing this garage stem wall width so it's as wide as the sill plate? I have the sill plate width set in the foundation defaults.

Thanks @Renerabbitt!

I'm trying to manually change this switch to a 3 way but the symbol is not updating. Is there a way to connect electrical components from one floor to another? For instance I have a light switch at both the top and bottom of the stairs.

I forgot to turn notifications on for my post. Thank everyone for info on how to accomplish this.

I'm trying to get accustom to using automatic roofs instead of doing them manually every time. I need a shed roof over the front porch and adjust the pitch so it lands a little over midway as shown below. How do I accomplish this? Thanks! New Construction.plan

Is it possible to enable or disable "include in schedule" with a button? How about enable or disable "suppress label" I've done some searching but so far I haven't found anything.

Newer versions of AutoCAD have this built in.

Uncheck the display option in the layers panel or layer display options.

Now that you've asked, I am a little interested in trying. I'm not in front of my PC with CA, but I'm sure you can export to dwg which will create an AutoCAD file with nothing but 3d solids. From there I would remove any areas that you wont be able to see, unneeded, etc. At this point you could scale your model down to fit your print bed or do it when you slice it (I think it'd be easier to do in AutoCAD). Next use the command "3D PRINT" to make the stl file. Import the stl into your slicing program and check for problem areas.

I've been pulling my hair out for a while trying to figure it out. Thank you!

I've encounted an issue and I can't figure out how to fix it. I added a covered deck to this small building. When I automatically built the roof, it added this bump out for some reason. I can fix the roof line itself no problem, but I cannot figure out how to adjust the wall so it doesnt do this. This happens on both sides of the porch. Also I need to add pier and beam foundation under the building. Does anyone know of a tutorial for this? Thanks, Jonathan 5951 N Commerce St Existing.plan

It wont allow me to set it anything below zero. I've attached a copy of the plan. Welsh - Addition.zip

How do I turn off stem walls for a carport?

I did try that several times and it didnt work, but wouldnt you believe as soon as I posted my question I was able to get it fixed.

I could of sworn I've seen this question asked, but I cannot find the post anywhere. Anyway's, I have a gap between the walls at the second floor that I cant seem to get rid of. Existing Plan.plan

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you all so much!

In autocad, there is a tool to space your dimensions a set distance apart, I like to space them 3/8" in paper space. Is there a way to do this in Chief Architect? Currently I'm drawing lines to space my dimenions a set distance. Is there a quicker way to do this?

Also, how do you reset it to use the default floor finish and structure?

Thank you, I've been banging my head trying to figure out how to fix that! I'm still learning, but what weird things were going on? I dont think I gave the addition a room definition and I left the original proch area as it was.

I've attached the plan. Addition.plan

Have you checked your automatic archives to see if any of them work?

I'm working on a project where my client is closing in a porch, but they want to keep the existing post. As you can see below the flooring is missing along the rail wall. How do I add flooring here?

Does this require a particular device to function?
