ALL... Thanks for the feedback. Thanks @Steve_Nyhof for the fireplace download. I will have a look at all of these thoughts and suggestions.

What catalog does everyone for great fireplace symbols? Thanks

I did have to finagle things a bit. 1. pulled back sidewalk AND pulled drive through to curb. 2. Intersected sidewalk on each side of the drive. In camera view I did have to pull the walk over the curb a bit to force it to merge with the drive cut-out. THEN went bak to the plan to square things up. Once I got the first side, I mirrored the walk to the other side and repeated the process. Hope this helps.

Here is the .plan file.1549850586_forCACHIEFTALK.plan

is this the look you want?

Might want to make sure the structural part of your roof is at least 9 1/4" to make sure it's beefy. you set this on the roof options under "Structure" on the left, "Roof Layers" >> "Structure". You also have the other roof options on that same tab under "Roof Size" that you will need to adjust as well to get that look.

I had no idea about this tool. Thanks for sharing.

Im going to give this a shot. Shane

I didn't know there would be so many ways to pull this off. Thanks all to the great insight!

That's a good idea. I will try that. Was hoping for a more technical answer.

Catz Lake House Preliminary 3-6-2025.pdf Look at the street front elevation of the breezeway to the left of garage.

I have some columns and beams that were created with individual 3D Solids, Is there a way to have Chief show a line where the objects intersect in elevation view? It looks unnatural now. Thanks

Thanks for your responses. I think I am looking for a more casual floor plan look like the attached. The perspective straight down look in Chief is nice, but it's hard to see the details of the floor plan.

What view in Chief does everyone use for marketing their floor plans? I am getting my business Facebook page setup and want to highlight the designs I am working on. Thanks

I wish that you could do this with auto roofs. BUT because having a gable there to match the front will create a dead valley when it intersects the opposing roof plane you will need to do it manually. Once you get the hang of it, it's simple. Rene's video on this was super helpful.
