Sounds like you want the house roof to tee into the garage roof, with both having same ridge height. If pitch can vary, just decide whether you want the common ridge elevation to be that which the house has, or the garage. Then for the roof that you'll change, open it for spec, lock fascia height, and change its ridge to match the other ridge in height. It's easy and takes just seconds. Show us your result.

Describe "go into."

I cap my PBR samples at 150 and like the results. Have you tried something low like this? My card's a 3070.

The pic shows what I get. My system specs are in my sig. The driver is version 32.0.15.7260

Arrows are within dimensions.

Try that, Mike. I did. I got three lineals in this sequence, for 1x6. 16', 20', 9P (104.625"). All my cripples and all the jacks are getting cut from the precuts. And the 19 foot walls are getting their plates cut from the 20 footers. Not what I want. We simply need to be able to specify that in wall framing, vertical members less than stud length, and opening framing parts, plus items like ladder framing, are all cut from what we wish, and the wish is what we specify. I want it from sixteens. Likewise wall plates. We need to be able to say, "cut from length X." Not longest length, but the one we want. In my case, sixteens. You've framed. I've framed. On the deck, you want simple rules, and a minimum number of stock lengths. I'm only addressing wall framing in this suggestion. We could use something like this in floorframe work, for rim stock. If I frame with rimboard it's not an issue because I set one length for that item and whatever it is that is what gets used. But for sawn lumber floorframes, one might want all the rim to be from 16 footers without exception.

No, and Chief needs to program for it. If I have a 9/0 nominal ceiling height on main and 8/0 on second, plus a feature wall balloon framed needing some studs from 18 foot stock, I'll set up the buy list to have precut 8, precut 9, 16 and 18 lengths. I want the plates and headers, cripples and trimmers, and sills, to cut ONLY from the 16s. But that is not what Chief does in counting.

How can we help you without knowing something about your setup? Learn to do a signature line so we know your software details (see mine?), and learn to post a plan file. as an attachment. Look at other posts here in other threads. See the plan files attached? You gotta close a file before you can post it.

Watch the video and practice. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1969/framing-an-overbuild-using-rafters.html?playlist=146

Try making a door from solids, slabs, countertop, whatever, saving as a door symbol. Use the TruStile visualizer for inspiration. Those little reveals are probably 1/8" x 1/8", and surely NOT on the sides.

There's only one floor 0 in which to model the foundation. So no.

You left out Chief version. Find out how to do a signature script in your profile like almost all of us here have done. You can get much better help when your info is up for all to see. Are you aware of the tutorial videos Chief has available on SPV? This feature totally revolutionized construction docs prep with Chief. Here is a link for you. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/#playlist-100 That takes you to those that Chief produced. Search YouTube for even more on SPVs uploaded by Chief users.

Beaded panel doors are possible. Model one yourself using countertop tools, save it as a door, with appropriate stile and rail widths and stretch planes. Beaded faceframe surrounds are above my pay grade. See what one of the cab gurus has to say. I'm sure one will be along soon.

Try making a symbol of the railing molding you want, doing a 2D molding polyline, select, make symbol, and then see if you can rotate the symbol the way you want in the symbol's spec dialog for 3D. I threw on onto a barn wall as shown.

Please go to your user profile and write a signature script like all of us here have done to show our software, system, add ons, etc. We can help only if we know more about you and your setup. Then watch this video and come back with some more detail to your question. It is always best to have tried and failed, and include as an attachment your Chief plan file with the problem described clearly. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/10249/dormers-floating-structural-roof-style-options.html

And there's the $85K add-on for the 2-bay garage extension to house her Bentley and his 911 GT3-RS.

Don't forget the special ventilation. Here is a good source for information. https://spireranges.com/how-to-build-an-indoor-shooting-range-backstop/#:~:text=A backstop comprises an earth,boundaries of the shooting selection. And this video might make your client think twice about putting one inside. $400K is a big tab. The really easy way is an outdoor range with a berm backstop of one made of a bunch of railroad ties, but you need a huge country lot on which to do that.

Looks like it's all done. Are you doing this in order to learn how to use Chief?

Are the plans yours? How about you do screencaps of the elevation views from the plans, and post here. Dormers are usually a challenge for new users.

Came through for me using X16. It is a symbol and @Renerabbitt is being coy by shipping it that way. He should give you an X15 .plan file so you can open it, since you are not on X16. I can view and use the symbol, but as a symbol it's essentially a locked-up 3D object and we cannot see how he built it. Further, I don't believe symbols will report materials.

Can any of you ultra-creative Chiefers think of a way to do trusses that are piggybacked? And have it all be invisible with no roof plane seams when viewing in 3D overview or elevations?

OK @Alaskan_Son, things are not going the way I want. In my job with all walls nominally 9/0 tall, studs all the precuts at 8'-8 5/8", there are a lot of door and window openings with trimmer in 8'-1" lengths, and the material list buy list is wanting to cut every one of these from a 16' piece. Per your observation and comment, I've sequenced the member reporting with two lengths only, 15' first, then 8'-8 5/8". Pieces 8'-1" go first to the 16, get cut, leave 7'-11 minus the kerf, and I get stuck with a whole bunch of off falls at this length. What can be done to ensure the trimmers instead get cut from the 8'-8 5/8" lengths? Shouldn't a part first go for the nearest buy length that first exceeds the cut length?

@Steve_Nyhofplease describe your procedure in creating the garage door symbols. Show us with screencaps if you have the time. An example of a garage door I did is this 6' w x 8' h overhead door with lites in the third panel up from bottom. See the two screencaps of my Sketchup model. I do file>import 3D symbol and find the .skp file in my files, click to import it, then choose that it will be a door, do advanced, then under options, choose garage door from the dropdowns. That's it. Once in, the 3D symbol is opened for placement of stretch planes so the door can behave parametrically. What was your process?
