TeaTime

Try breaking the wall and setting just the portion where the door is as a full Glass Shower, so the lower wall stops at/before the door.

I think that mostly checks the Wall Type the wall its using -- it's not accidentally using a Glass Shower wall type is it?

I've had this happen before specifically when two overhangs are overtop one another - it's like the program isn't sure which roof plane needs lookouts/outlookers/whateveryouwannacall'ems and only builds them on one. I wonder if you pulled the smaller roof plane above back so that they didn't overlap, if they'd build. If that works you might be able to expose the lower roof planes and use Build Framing for Selected Object to build each plane individually, pull the upper ones back out and do the same.

Only "Foundation", it's special.

Reduce Rafter depth or increase Fascia. This is a really common issue for roofs over outside rooms. It's expecting a normal room with normal walls and roof rafters that reduce in size after their birdsmouth Alternatively on the Room spec, Structure panel is an option to Use Soffit Surface for Ceiling. This forces a reduced rafter throughout that room.

I wouldn't think that would be possible to have them facing different ways, even if the plan view was rotated. Are your kitchen cabinets are on a separate schedule from the rest? I'd probably check the schedule's Label panel and check the text angle, see if it's set to some automatic behavior or if it can be set to a specific angle.

I don't think there's a setting, if I were to guess it's the casing you used. You'll notice that the ones in the Casings folders are thicker on top but the ones in other folders, like the Base moldings, are all thick on bottom Very bottom of the General panel -- Interior doors don't have an "interior" vs "exterior" side, they're only interior since both sides open to rooms, so the Exterior section is greyed out and the interior is used for both. Checking Separate Trim and Materials on Each Side allows the "exterior" casing to be specified so each side can be different if needed.

Dictionaries bend to the will of popular usage

Add to Library and you can avoid needing to retroactively add it to existing walls - but if its too late for that then no, not really. You can use the All Layers OFF layer set to make group selecting specific walls easier, though!

I think we should be asking "Why does building roof not bring in outriggers?" What's the roof situation? Rafters? Trusses? If Trusses, did you Build Framing after? Is Lookouts checked on the Build Roof dialog?

Just a guess but I'm assuming it just doesn't know what else to do -- if you use General Framing in a Wall Detail, they come in as Studs / ID = Framing. But when you just draw freely into a plan view it could be Floor, Ceiling, or Roof, so they just decided Floor makes the most sense, I guess. Ultimately it's on us to tell generic things what to be. What's always bugged me though is that the layer and components don't change when a different Role is selected - it really feels like that should be tied together.

Thanks and ditto -- it just goes to show there are various ways to accomplish something, it just all depends on how much time you want to devote, or how much detail is needed.

YEAH, yeah, I figured you'd come along.

Well! That was a fun challenge! "within the cabinet DBX"? Yes "within A cabinet DBX"? no. (at least I don't think so) Here's what I did: Cabinet #1: / Make it narrower by 1.5", Framed, no top/bottom (Right, Left, and Back = None) Only Front face configure however = Ditch those stiles! Then take that and nest it into cabinet #2

Ah I think this is more about wall definition -- open that wall's definition and check it's layers and what groups they're in. You'll only get snaps at the exterior surface, interior surface, and then the lines that separate construction groups: the lines between Exterior and Main Layers, and between Main and Interior Layers Take this Brick-6 wall for example: The only exception is Main Layer Center, but it won't snap to the Housewrap layer for example, or the outside of the OSB. I'd have to move the OSB into the Main Layers group to do that, and that can cause some issues elsewhere. So in your example, if the Drywall, Service Cavity, and OSB were all in the Interior Layers then you should be able to locate it.

In my experience Frieze moldings are the pickiest things, I often resort to just manually drawing the darn things in using 3D Molding Polylines. For instance, the one over the front entry isn't generating because there's a lower room that's specified to have Roof Over This Room - even though you're not auto generating roofs, it still affects it. Unchecking Roof Over This Rom (and as a result, Flat Ceiling as well) corrects this. But removes your ceiling. The ones under the curved roof--well, it's a curved roof, I'm not sure there's a good fix there. These walls are all Attic Walls so "No Room Definition" is checked by default - typical walls will have all options unchecked.

By "behind the drywall layer" I assume you mean the Framing layer -- that layer's not displayed. Try turning on the Walls, Layers layer.

Yeah, you must have accidentally dropped it onto that cabinet - it's showing on the Preview because it belongs to it. See on the Accessories panel at the bottom there?

You sure about that?

It depends on what you mean when you say "Render." Using CPU Ray Trace you can queue up different processes by setting time limit before. Check out https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1975/ray-tracing-cpu-camera-settings.html

Looks like you're missing a lot more than just that! Clicking the Gear icon gets the same menu as right-clicking the blank space Also for what it's worth, those panels are really easy to close accidentally since the X for the panel is right below the X for the whole side window Lock Panels will remove the X to avoid that from happening.

What about Reset Side Windows in Pref> Reset Options - should revert all side windows to their original positions.

I'd say it's rather probable that it is. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00106/troubleshooting-3d-camera-view-display-problems-in-chief-architect.html

Classic mistake: You checked Framing on the B&B layer: Be sure you select the Framing layer and set it to generate framing Once checked, make sure spacing/width are set right, or default Did the same thing on the Brick-4 wall type.

Just guessing but you'll probably want to adjust those too
