That definitely helped me understand what I'm doing a lot more clearly but It doesn't want to join the two planes correctly, I'm currently doing the barrel portion with a single plane and have tried inserting a line break where my ceiling meets the drywall as well as where it meets the framing and it doesn't seem to fix it regardless of which ceiling plane I drag and/or how far I drag and join them. Do you have any additional information that could help me solve this? Thank you for this video so far as well. Another detail that might be causing my issues is that the bottom of both ceiling slopes meet the wall at a different height, the barrel ceiling is about 4" higher where the wall meets.

I tried it initially with one plane but I couldn't figure how to tell the program to set the low point to the two long walls instead of starting low on the window wall and sloping up towards the rest of the room so I followed a similar chief tutorial that said to draw half the slope then copy it onto the other side, is there a way around that? My new problem trying it that way by setting the pitch to zero is that it locks the bottom and top heights of my slope to be the same, is the option I'm meant to change on a different page? Edit: I figured it out, I haven't solved the main issue but your comment made more sense while watching the video and I got it to work with one plane.

Hello! I'm looking for help connecting a barrel ceiling and angled ceiling where they meet and I'm struggling to find a solution. I drew my room and changed the ceiling heights to match the house then added 3 custom ceiling planes, 1 long rectangle for the angled wall and two shorter runs meeting in the center above the toilet for my barrel ceiling, the problem I'm having is joining the two together where they meet. I also couldn't figure out how to cap off the side of my angled ceiling when I had it drawn short but that's not the primary issue ( hoping it would extend the wall drywall onto the side but it was just an open view into the attic) Becker Working Plan.plan

Hello, I've used the NKBA auto dimension tool in the past and really enjoyed the time savings but on this drawing I'm working on it doesn't seem to be available, I pulled up a chief tutorial video and it directed me to the auto dimension tool and to the default settings to edit the NKBA settings but it's not present, can you please help me find what I'm missing.

I'm trying to put together a shower and like the custom backsplash tool to show depth of tile on walls but am running into a problem with the straight glass pony wall intersection. I started by drawing a half glass pony wall across then inserting a glass shower door on the end so that it hinges on the wall. My problem is that the portion of the wall that would be knee wall if there was no door won't accept the custom backsplash so I'm left with an odd rectangle of drywall, I can paint it the tile color but then it still appears as a depression. All help is appreciated

Thank you, the problem was that I had applied a colonial casing from a cabinet catalog and it was oriented upside down as far as doors are concerned, once I grab CA 03 from the chief catalog it all worked how I hoped and the tip about casings being thicker on the top and base on the bottom will help me avoid this confusion in the future. The Ignore casing when resizing is going to be helpful as well so that I don't need to just leave the casing oof, I'm trying to limit how many things I jerry rig together as I learn the software.

I have a two part door problem if anyone could help with either it would be appreciated. 1) I've done a few projects with flat eased casing so I never noticed until just now when I selected a colonial casing for my doors, Chief is putting the casing on backwards (thick end on the jamb and thin butting into the base) what should I do to fix this? It's on a new drawing so I don't believe I've mistakenly selected an odd option to cause it. 2) The same door I'm drawing is one that's already existing and it's casing is shaved down on one side in the smaller room so that it can be forced further into the corner and provide a 24 1/2" space needed for the vanity run, In the screenshot it's the 22.5" measured portion. If I could hide the casing on the small room side (exterior) I could work around that but that selection is greyed out and it only has the option for me to disable casing on the bathroom side (Interior) which I will need to have in my render. Any help is appreciated and I'm happy to provide more context if it would help, Thank you in advance.

You were correct and thank you for the advice, it's working just how I hoped it would now. I imported it to a far corner of my drawing this time but will try it to a CAD layout as well to try and avoid gumming up my files with extra PDFs

I'm working on a layout and want to insert a line break so that I can drag and adjust to hide the bottom right area of my fan tear sheet (glass and shipping) but line break icon doesn't show up like normal and clicking 3 doesn't prompt a break. I'd be happy to hear a good resource or thread to learn from as well as I've still got a lot to learn.
