Check your wall definition settings under wall properties tab.

Is this roof set for the framing to auto refresh?.... I have run into similar situations before but framing refresh had been turned off. Stretching the hip out and back in again usually fixed it. post your plan if you can so folks can have a look. ALSO, make sure your roof objects are set to "Trim Framing to Soffits" on the structure panel.

That's a great question. AND yes, we don't want to lose all of your work. looking at this again..... Open your foundation view, click on that far right foundation wall, Open Specification dbx, Structure Panel, Check the box at the top that says "Default Wall height".... looks like somehow the top of that one foundation wall object got changed. I should have checked that to begin with.

The space on the right under the room designation structure panel doesn't have monolithic slab selected and the other side does. You could check that box, delete your foundation and rebuild and that fixes it. You could probably just rebuild foundation without deleting. I usually just leave the space/room settings as is and build the foundation how I want when I get to that point. in my case, its conventional (monolithic slab NOT selected in room settings) and when I build slab I choose block up or slab on grade and sometimes conventional.

To break things up like you are wanting you will probably need to use polygons with another schedule to report their areas. You could maybe even use it in conjunction to what you are using now.

looks great! Well done.

Use two doorways beside one another set the opening/half wall the height and distance off the floor that you need and use the mull tool to mull them.

This is good to know. Thanks.

No magic. Just grit ..... A combination of wall and roof intersections. First you have to identify why you are getting the behavior you are getting. Chief is just responding to its objects directives. Sometimes I delete things to see what specifically is causing the behavior. After finding the offending object and undeleting it I adjust it to get the outcome I am looking for. When you work with roofs and walls intersecting the directives are pretty basic, but sometimes like in your case there are multiple walls and scenarios creating a complex situation requiring a multifaceted solution. In your case it wasn't one thing. It was multiple things that I needed addressing.

Attach Garage 6-2.plan.zipi was able to get it looking a bit better.

I am trying to export jpg images straight from chief floor plan. Anybody got any suggestions to make the image sharp? No matter what resolution I export to the image is grainy.... I am able to get a sharper image by exporting to PDF first and then using preview to export to jpg. Seems like there should be a more direct way. Thanks

No problem bro. Happy to help.... I have been where you are.

Yes... I saw that before. More than anything I wanted to make sure I understood your request. Regarding the pieces of wall poking through, that will be a bit tricky. There is combination of moves here that will yield the desired results. Figuring that out will take some finagling. I will take another look at when I have a minute.

Is the what yo are trying to accomplish?Attach Garage.plan.zip

I will say 42" feels safer to me, but only on second story and above.
