On the 2nd floor my seal plates aren't showing in my back clip cross-section view.The1st is showing both bottom and top. 2nd floor neither. anyone?

If I wanted to import a picture for a accurate rendering of the add on. Is that possible?

I'll see if that's possible this afternoon. Thanks guys for the advice on the molding topic.

I have a home that has wood siding, the panels are installed on a 45 degree angle.can I somehow replicate that in chief? If not how can I import the original Siding to match the add on? I also have a question about vinyl siding. How to create the J molding around the windows and corners of the house. I just created a polyline solid 1/2" in depth and dragged it to the desired location. Is there a better way to do this?

After drawing the wall, I click the 3-D view and only the sheet rock materials are showing on each side of the stud. Does anybody know why that would be?

I'm retarded! Thanks a lot

someone please explain why the rafters are not showing in 3d view, but are visible in cross-clipped elevation view. You'll notice the seat cut out of the rafter is hanging in past the sheetrock at the plate line. Any suggestions? Bungalow House.zip

If you draw a wall & or walls, you can multi select the walls. Then click the open icon on the bottom left, there's an option to change the wall to invisible. Found it by accident. Thanks guys

In X5 I'd use Invisible walls to form the porches. That feature isn't available in X6, so any tips on drawing porches?

Hi, I am a young dad 30 years old. I have got 8+ years of field experience on building homes. From reading floor plans, popping out slabs, and cutting in roofs., I was injured in a spinal cord accident three years ago. I am wanting to use my field experience to apply it with chief architect. I am not able to get to school for Classes due to transportation issues (wheelchair accessible vehicle). I could use a mentor to help me understand the program little better. If someone is willing to help with the matter , or have any ideas feel free to chime in. Thanks
