Material region is another option.

You can control gutter ON and OFF by selecting a roof plane by its eave edge and going to the gutter tab in the spec dialog. For the other side, you'll have to give your entire gable a tiny nudge out to have Chief build a return. Play with it and see.

Is this for a framing buy list for the framing contractor?

Try this.

From two days ago, here is an autosaved file, and the wall renders OK. File attached Wall OK in this one.zip

I had it and fiddled with the wall spec and this happened. It is not the roof that is doing this. The part that is good sits atop a first floor exterior wall, and the part with the problem bears on a carry beam, no wall underneath. I'm quite sure it's not the roof cutting away the finish. File attached. Why the siding stripoff.zip

ICF builders, the pros not the DIY, recommend the molded plastic foam bucks and build openings with 1/4" clearance around windows. I want to dimension to the opening, not the window. I can pull a leader off the story pole for the window, but not my opening, which is 1/4" different.

Is there a way to trick Chief? There is a way to pull the unit, i.e. window or door top, for an elevation dimension, but with no wood frame element, I see no way to get the opening elevation.

Windows and doors are to have 1/4 inch RO clearance and Chief won't let me get that tight. Where is the minimum clearance set?

What is this? What did I do wrong? I only got to this when doing what I always do when downloading Chief content. Within the Xwhatever app, do "get additional content," then wait for the download complete message, then do the install selecting the .calib file from my downloads folder. I do the routine today, in the X18 app, selecting the catalog for X18, and if I do in answer to "what do you want to do with this," select OPEN, and what happens? Chief opens X17 and then flashes me this message. I have tried catalog after catalog, and am seeing no .calib files appearing in my downloads.

Maybe @Renerabbitt will enter the room. He's got this covered well.

Here is a camera view with both issues highlighted. The gable wall with fake window centered under peak is killing me. I am unable to generate the wall so it shows properly in 3D. Its right half is "roof cuts wall at bottom" and needs to have that spec so it doesn't protrude into the vault space below. The other is the beam atop the railing (post and beam). The corner join won't render correctly. There are OK corner joins all around the porches. Note the wall spec with the offset posts and beam. Both are offset horizontally so I can get the slab edge 3" past the wall line, so columns do not bear right at the edge. This corner has one of the walls NOT offset, and it needs to be this way.

I did this post-facto and have now to deal with dropping the foundation wall top. Where is this done? I open the foundation "wall" for spec, and see no way.

Do I just export each layout page as a separate .dwg?

Thanks @robdyckMy file (did I not sent the right one?) has that roof plane specified as structure depth 9.25. When I uncheck soffits (and why would this work checking a box in the roof layers sub-panel?) I am able to generate a 3D proper view of a 2x10, but now I have uncut rafter tails? Why can't I have both proper depth display and cut tails to match up to my 2x6 subfascia?
