Not sure what your ultimate goal is for sure, but if my guess is correct, try this...

As Eric illustrated but didn't very clearly state... You have to set the height manually. Notice that he had to uncheck Auto Heights.

Here are 3 different ones. Just copy and paste... ⌀øØ

Hmm. Did you manually position a light source as I suggested...obviously not at that same ceiling intersection. I’m away from my computer right now but before I posted earlier, I placed a simple 4 inch recessed light on the flat ceiling and it fixed the problem right away.

This thread might help shed a little light on the situation since I think it's basically the same sort of issue...

That seems to be caused by the automatic light source being added to the ceiling right where the pitch changes. Place a light source manually.

This isn't entirely true. Instead of simply choosing from the dropdown, click Define. Then you can use the filter. Also, don't forget that depending on the circumstances you can also use the Layer Painter tool, The Layer Eyedropper, the Match Properties tool, or the Object Eyedropper to change an object's layer as well.

Here’s a video I made a while back that has a similar sort of chimney situation. Maybe something in here will help you...

Archicad can as well.

Not so much. Either: Edit them as I showed Remove them as I showed Manually position a new dimension and format it more to your liking Simply fill it in with CAD/text

I offer custom tutorial videos as a service, but this one is on the house...

Post that plan here soon and I'll show you a few things real quick.

Yes. If you use 2 of them and simply apply 2 different angled strip materials to each, you should be golden in all view types. You can also accomplish the same thing by placing a break in your wall if you want to go that route. Start with something like the Cedar Tongue & Groove from the Core Library, and make 2 copies of that material....in rotated to 45 degrees and the other rotated to -45 degrees. Apply one material to one side and the other to the other.

By the way, another little trick that can be employed is Ignore Top Floor in the Build Roof dialog.

You bet. Not sure which video you're referring to, but I would really recommend you watch any videos with a few very important pieces of information in mind.... The video may or may not be relevant or accurate in light of the most current version. Tools are added (and sometimes removed), functionalities are changed, bugs are fixed, etc. Sometimes what's shown in the video no longer applies. Unfortunately, its not feasible to remake every video for every new release though so this is just something you have to be aware of. The video may or may not apply to your particular plan. It's super common that the example being shown has some crucial difference from the plan you might be using and so the process or application thereof may be totally different. The video may completely skip over the thing you're most hoping to learn from it. Videos can be great for teaching some of the basic principles and for addressing some very specific issues, but for general learning, I think it's pretty common that they introduce just as many questions as they do answers.

Just FYI, there should be no reason you have to reduce the ceiling height in those 2 attic areas. That's actually the source of your unusual wall issues.

Although this is a very creative way to deal with numbering prefixes, it wouldn't solve the issue with the Layout Page table. Plus, I would argue that it would take longer and be more complicated than simply using the Layout Label field.

I agree. That's what I was referring to with...

Okay okay, now you're contradicting yourself. You can't have different line weights in your roof plan layer set and...

The ability to have the names different in different layer sets went away several versions back, so this one should be a non issue. For the rest though, I think the quickest way would be to resort and modify one column at a time. Start by switching to the layer set you want everything to match, check Modify All Layer Sets, and then... Click on the Color heading which should sort your layers by color. Group select all of the top color, click to change the color and simply click Okay. Do the same thing for the next group of items with the same color, and so on. Click on the Weight heading which should sort your layers by line weight. Group select all of the top line weight, click to change the line weight, and simply enter the same line weight followed by the tab key. Do the same thing for the next group of items with the same line weights, and so on. Click on the Line Style heading which should sort your layers by line style. Group select all of the top line styles that match each other, click to change the line style, and simply re-select the same line style from the list. Do the same thing for the next group of items with the same line styles, and so on. It will be a little slow, by I can't think of any method that would cover all your bases any quicker.

You are using the Page Number macro and manually positioning a universal prefix. What you're doing is pretty unusual and isn't something I think Chief was really designed to handle. My advice would be to drop the manual prefix from page zero and just use the %page% macro along with the Number column, OR take advantage of the Layout Page Specification Fields and their associated macros. Yes you have to enter them manually on each page, but they're also far more useful. As it is now, it seems like you're using a prefix for no real reason.

What is the macro you are using on page 0 then, because there is no built in "drawing number" macro.

Do you perhaps mean PAGE number? If so, add the Number column to your schedule.
