I am using x15 and have drawn a soffit that covers the entire kitchen ceiling. I wanted to add a ventilation register on the soffit, but was not able to place it when I tried. The register placed on a regular wall, but not on the soffit. Is it possible to place items to soffits? I also attempted using the 3D Solid Tools feature, but I ran into the same problem, I was not able to place the vent. Attached are two images, one of my design, and the other is the inspiration.

In short, I am using x15 and I am trying to create a staircase that starts with a two winder landing, then up the stairs to another two winder landing. I am able to create the winders, but don't know how to make them connect and reach the next level.

I am using x15 and successful created a rooftop terrace using the following video. However, I want to add a skylight that would provide a light from an inner room through the roof. Technically, I don't have a roof. Is there another way to get a window through the floor. If that makes sense.

I am using version 15 of Chief Architect and making a building that requires a flat roof. On top of that roof, I want to do a rooftop deck. However my priority is the flat roof. Any advice on how to construct it?

I am using Chief Architect Premier x12 interiors and need suggestions on how to create a double winder staircase. I am drawing a 5 story townhouse. The stairs I want to align across floors. I have been struggling with how to do this. However, one thing I cannot figure out how to do is the double winder staircase. Need advice. Thanks!

I am trying to install a fireplace, but I am confused by how to install what I need. I am using Chief Architect x12. I have attached files. I figured I have to slide the insert in, but I don't know what I am doing wrong.

I am using CHIEF ARCHITECT X12. I have been trying to design a Scandinavian Frame House. I have been partially successful, however when I get to the roof settings, I can't seem to get the roof lines how they are for a Scandinavian Frame House. I have provided examples of what I am trying to do, what I have done, and the issue I am having. MODERN ROOF.plan

Awesome! Thanks!

Hello. Thank You, however, I am still having issues. Would you be able to make a screen recorder of what you did? This will help me a lot.

I am trying to design a contemporary a-frame cabin similar to the one in the images. However, I am not able to figure out the roof type I should use or even where to begin. Any suggestions? I am using X12 Chief Architect. The A-Frame I am attempting to draw is two stories. As you can see in the image, instead of a full gable roof, it's "half". Previously, I have constructed an upper floor as a Cape Cod and "ignored the second floor", but I cannot figure out how to configure the second floor and roof to match how it looks in the image. Because I am still learning the software, It's hard for me to explain what I am attempting to do. Please see the annotated image. More specifics: 20 x 40 Building. 9 Foot Ceilings Lower Floor/9 Foot Ceilings Upper Level (Sloped?)

Thanks! That worked, now I am having trouble with building the roof. Trying to figure this out.

Chief Architect X12

I am in the process of creating a plan for my A-Frame Chalet home for Chief Architect x12. The front of my home is "pointed" and I am having some difficulty creating the roof for it. I was able to create the roof, but the "pointed" edge is not aligning correctly. Please see the images. Any advice?
