I'm SO MUCH CLOSER!! Trying figure out how to get some auto dormers on the front but the first-floor walls auto generating on the second floor is what's confusing me. Why do they do that? Is that because my roof is generated from the first floor?

Does this look correct?
You need to do this roof manually...you could do some using auto but you'd have to make a lot of edits. Hardly worth the effort.
Yes that looks great! This is more what I am going for.

If you are replicating the plan you show in images, did you spec all your perimeter wall roof directives per the roof plan you in the photo? If not, why not?
I'd have started there and auto-roofed the plan.
And there is this, from Mick, a Chiefer here, posted on another thread about modeling roofs:
Remember that the KnowledgeBase (KB) has many good Short Tutorials ( with downloadable PDFs) and there are also Free Videos etc to help with all the basics.

I initially put all the roof info in the walls and used auto build but it wasn't giving me what i was going for so switched to manual. I am so new to Chief and the whole process of how this works so these first few plans of mine have been more of a crash course than anything. I really appreciate all the feedback and help! I think at some point i need some 1 on 1 training to get some more inside tips and tricks beyond what I've been doing on my own.

After some more work this is where I am at. I've been drawing the 4 pitch shed roof parts manually but wondering how i connect them to the top of the plate and seamlessly mold to the other pieces? Trying to figure out how to coverup all the holes as well
-
10 pitch is the ideal goal. I was messing around with 12 just trying to get everything covered up. Been having trouble using automatic roof build when there's a second floor, and manually correcting.

What is the best way to go about locking all the layers I have and mirror them just as they are for left and rights of the same plan?
