I'm have trouble with getting a roof to finish and close the joints at the frieze, soffit, and gutter. See attachments. Donnelly 1.0.plan

I missed the comment about the door having a bug, but now I understand. The screen shots of the pattern settings are also very helpful. Thanks to all!

Thanks Kbird1, I am using X15 and can open your file. You are correct in pointing out my screen material is using a fabric texture. I was not able to find a screen material in any of the Chief catalogs and created my own screen using a fabric texture as directed by a one of the how to make a screened patio videos. It appears that your screen material that uses the mesh texture is scaling the same when applied to the door and the screen panels. This is not the case for the screen material that I was using. Seems like if the same material is applied to any objects in the plan, it should display the same no matter where it is used.

I am adding a screened patio with screen panel windows and a screen door and have selected the same screen material for both. As you can see on the attached image, the screen material shows differently on the door with the material image texture showing much larger. I am also attaching my CA file. Thompson 1.1.plan

See attached screenshot of the garage doors in my model and a photo of the existing garage doors and my CA file. I used the modern steel door with windows but don't see a way to mirror the door like other objects. I want the windThompson 1.1.planows to the outside on both right and left doors. Also want to modify the size of the windows. Also want to add windows to top of the center door. Thompson 1.1.plan

I can't find the door I want in any of the catalogs, but see one that is close. Is it possible to make a copy of a door and then modify and save it to my user catalog?

Thanks Renerabbitt. I'm hoping Chief can automate the process of creating arched brick details, but your video demonstration is very helpful. The other part of my question was about how to create the portico/porch structure of the house. See additional attached image. Do you or anyone else have a video or direction on how to best draw it in CA?

Please see my attached images of the existing house I am currently drawing. I am looking for tutorials on how to create the arched entry porch and brick details around the doors and windows.

Deck rim and end joists are automatically sized at 1 1/8". I am assuming whoever set the default in the app design is assuming the rim and end joists would just match the default decking. My company uses the same 2X pt lumber as the joists and then fishes the ends and rims with 1/2" PVC/Composite fascia/cladding. This seems to be the norm for the new matenance free deck materials. I previously found that Chief does not have automatic deck fascia settings. Is there a setting to size deck end and rim joists? Has Chief added deck fascia settings that I am not seeing?

I have uploaded the file with the wall issues. Also having trouble getting the roof planes to join. Any help would be appreciated. Roscher 2.1.plan

I created an as built of an existing house, and have now drawn an addition. On the exterior, a second story wall corner is not closing. In plan view, the walls are snapping together and appear to have no gap. In addition, the same wall corner that is not displaying correctly on the exterior is exposed and visible on the interior finished wall. See attached images. Please advise.

That worked. Thanks Steve.

Thanks for all responses. See attached plan as requested by Robert. I have checked the alignment and re-snapped the the ridge points, but still same result. I did tried auto roof, but could not get proper results for some of the front side roof components. If auto roof if is possible, please send links on how to make it work for this application.

After adding shadow boards to a gable roof the perspective view shows them extending past the peak and into infinity. See attached image. I have checked the roof edge and peak alignment and this is only occurring at one location. Please advise.

thanks all
