I am having some trouble getting these simple dormers to look right from the interior. The dormers have a lower ceiling height than the main spaces which I think may be part of the issue. Also I don't believe the roof hole is done correctly and seems to have a mind of its own. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I perused various videos and help topics but did not come across the specific condition when the dormer has a lower ceiling height. Thank you, Mike Dolce, Architect 1708-Chief-X9-Files.zip

I am having trouble trying to create a standard hollow metal door and frame for a small commercial project I am working on. See attached details that show the conditions I was going for. My basic conditions are an existing frame centered in a CMU wall and the same frame where I will later add some wall furring. I thought I could just make a solid door and size the frame to a 2" x 5.5" rectangle and omit any interior or exterior casings but that doesn't seem to work. I could add the door stops on later if necessary but I couldn't even get the frames to come in by themselves. This seems like it should be simple to achieve. I have experimented in the attached Chief file. Any advice is greatly appreciated. PS. again commercial project related .....my next question is going to be how to create a dropped grid ceiling that I can exactly adjust the grid size and location in each individual room. 1615EX - Copy.plan MaxAdvantage-PREL-DoorJambs.pdf

Thanks for the help. Just figured it out....its always something simple. I had auto build terrain turned off. Once I rebuilt the terrain all of the terrain items showed up. Thanks again. Mike Dolce

Thanks for the response. That was the first thing I checked. I have those layers turned on in the Camera View Set but still not showing.

Looking for some help with this. For some reason when I put a driveway and other terrain features in this model they are not showing up on the rendered view. Any help is greatly appreciated. Model file is attached. 1510PLAN.zip Thanks, Mike Dolce, Architect

Trying to figure out way to do custom window grille for a 1/4 round window, as shown in attached files. Also attached Chief X7 file for reference. Also having other minor issue with this model with walls poking thru a window, also noted on attached file. Any help is greatly appreciated. Michael Dolce, Architect

Let me try sending attached file again...which I had thought was attached to begin with? MPD-Architect-McComas-Res.zip

I am having some trouble with a seemingly simple issue. Not getting frieze boards to show up consistently..mostly on gable ends. I am sure it is a simple fix but have not been able to pin it down. Any help is greatly appreciated. See attached plan file done in X6/64bit. Thanks, Michael Dolce AIA Architect
