looks like that worked. Thanks

Good day everyone. Anyone have this happen while zooming in? Is this a natural occurrence? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

@ChiefTom396 - made you a "how to" video. I've not done many of these so I may not have everything exact...but, you should at least get an understanding of how you would put something like this together.  

 

ChiefTom396 - How to Basement Stairs to replace Bilco Door - Watch Video

Awesome! Thank you.  I've been a mechanical CAD designer for 20 years using inventor,  solidworks and Creo. It's a new learning curve for me and enjoy the challenges of learning Chief.  I've also followed the previous video posted above.  The more you work at is the only way you learn.  Thank you

You draw the three walls, set the desired ceiling height, designate it "Open Below" to allow access to the basement door. You mark the outer wall Gable by opening that wall's dialog box-Roof Tab - Gable over this wall.

Thanks, I'll give it a try in my next session.  I believe my initial approach was similar. Just wasn't getting the results I was expecting.  I designated 4 walls to resemble existing wall, then I drew the 3 walls for the new enclosure.  

New user and learning Chief architect.  Navigating around, watching videos,  however I can't seem to find learning video of similar situation and what I'm trying to accomplish in my design.  Basically,  I'm removing a Steel bilco basement door and framing it out with 2x6's , entry door and gable roof. I'm looking to design and create detail drawings including the trusses. Existing walls are 10 foot and entry will be at smaller elevation. I've attached images for reference.  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking to treat my layouts and design as an addition.
