I worked with a draftsmen to get the plans drawn up but it was a very painful and unpleasant process. He had great reviews but the more I look back at it all of the designs he did were very basic rectangular and square houses, nothing with more than 2-4 roof plans. I will work on blocking out all of my personal information on the plans and upload them. but I worked with another draftsmen to get the plans fixed and that’s when he started building them on Chief Architect and let me know that the roof layout plan was incorrect and it wasn’t right I know how to build a cricket in real life but not in this application, but after looking at your picture where you have one near the end of the gable soffit i will learn.

Thank you very much Mark!! this is a great help

Hi Gene I spent 2 straight days making sure the layout is as planned. I’m 99% sure it is matching the original plans

Hi Gene, Thanks for your opinion, I think there are many ways to fix the issues of water and I am the one building the house so I am going to be handling the waterproofing which is my #1 priority in this house. I understand there are better ways to do it but it’s the look that turns me off. Architecture is 50/50 looks and functionality. I hate how every house looks the same nowadays and want something that’s different and stands out. I will continue to try to build the house in chief architect the way it was designed. Thank you

Hi yes this is exactly what I’m trying to do. I have had issues trying to build this. We have tried going through a few local places to build our house in chief architect but the prices have been extremely high, 4-8.7k have been the quotes I have received so far for the build + framing elevations and floor framing plans. I understand people saying a hip roof is the way to go but my wife is set on the look of the roof. And if it’s possible to safely and cleanly do it, why wouldn’t I.

Im unable to accomplish what I want to do with the software. It’s a user error, I just don’t know how to do it. the issue is connecting the roof line that goes from front to back on the side of the house to the gable wall of the garage and the gable wall of the center of the house. I have attached a picture with the highlighted section of roof I’m having a problem creating correctly.

Im very very new to Chief Architect, just started using the application this week and I am struggling when it comes to building the roof. I have built and rebuilt the roof close to 20 times now. I have watched youtube videos, read through the documentation, and read many topics here but still can not figure out how to fix my roof. I have a gable wall that is perpendicular to my roof line, and im trying to build a connection between the gable wall and the roof next to it. But i can not figure out how to build it. I have included plans and pictures of what i am trying to accomplish below. The plans have the incorrect roof pitches and layout and the draftsmen who created them can not fix them. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Hunter Sargent_auto_save.plan
