I gave it a try. I chose an "integrated pull" from the core catalog. Seems to work fine. Screen shot below. Maybe it has to do with how the pull is defined? "Integrated" might imply some sort of built in offset as part of the definition as opposed to flush? I dunno - I'm not super familiar with cabinets and maybe someone else can chime in here...

It's basically a workaround -- a combination of two barn doors and a door opening. I hope Chief considers adding this feature to barn doors. Seems like they already have the programming done for other door options like sliders or pretty close at least.

Thanks Gary. - Jim

Thanks Shane. I'll post this as a suggestion to Chief on the forum. Funny, there was a post back in August about this which I made a similar suggestion to yours. Totally forgot - I must be losing my mind! Jim

Hi, Does Chief allow a stacking barn door option like in the picture below? Thanks,

Joe, take a look at the material definition. It might be rotated. Jim

SC, Download worked for me... However, you uploaded the whole Project (.CAPROJ) file. This is essentially a file that contains all project assets. This explains the very large file size and why you could not upload to the forum using usual methods. (I don't think forum members would want to upload a whole project file either, but a single .PLAN model file is okay). What you want to do is just upload only the .PLAN file (zipped). The .PLAN file is the building model without all the other stuff. Here I zipped your .PLAN file, which comes in under 4 MB. I attached the .zip file for your reference. 16x30 Balogh (2).zip

Pretty good Chief video tutorial here. (about minute 11 is your case). https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1521/manually-drawing-dormers.html?playlist=95

Rob, Here's my technique. I learned it off the forum or perhaps a Chief tutorial, so can't take credit. The diagonal segment is a separate exterior wall segment with "Roof Cuts Wall at Bottom" turned on: Then, I copy/ define it as a new wall type, say "Siding 4 - Dashed Above." Purpose of this is that the new wall type's plan display will be changed to show dashed line above in plan view. I set all layer fills to none and the linetype of the interior layer (drywall) to a dashed line: You can see the plan view result below with those diagonal wall segments dashed. They just about line up with the dashed ceiling break line running left/right in plan. Probably could be adjusted to line up exactly. - Jim

In the past I'd call the print shop and discuss with them. They'll tell you what format and minimum resolution they prefer. Jim

I just had this very same thing happen to me. I find electrical outlets sometimes flip sides if a wall is modified. I'd also be interested in a fix or at maybe some tips on technique. Jim

No worries - we all start from somewhere. To post a .PLAN file, first make sure that the file is not open in Chief. This is an easy mistake -- otherwise, the file will show as a 0 KB (no content) file size. Then, you can create a separate .ZIP compressed file of that file (right click the file in Windows to get that option). A compressed Zip file will usually get the file small enough to post. You can drag and drop the file to your post. For images, you can drag and drop the file directly to your post. Or, you can CTRL-C (copy). Jim

Reach out to tech support. That's what they are there for and they are usually pretty helpful. - Jim

You might be able to do this as a vertically stacked mulled window. Top window double hung / bottom window with solid panel (change glazing material to opaque). At least that's the approach I'd take. Jim
