The building itself includes the foundation. The drawings provided by the supplier of the preengineered steel building are of little interest to the AHJ, just as is the engineered roof truss supplier drawings for a wood framed roof in a building. You're gonna have to pay a pro with a NY seal.

Who did the construction docs? Do the docs include the foundation, its plan view, sections, notes, details, specs? Sounds like what he is asking for is a set of plans that bear the seal of a NY PE. If you are not that PE or a NY architect, you're gonna have to find one. Your inspector is the AHJ. He sits on a throne. Does the jurisdiction allow unsealed ("unstamped") plan sets for buildings less than some size, like 1000 sf or less? The NY jurisdictions I know permit that exception. If you can find it in writing in the town code, you might be able to wiggle out of this.

Use the right railing. Cable railing is a panel type.

Blocking CAD objects creates a new object, let's call it the "block," and the block can have its layer different from the layer or layers of those elements which were blocked. Think of those layers as now subverted or made moot. You now control visibility of the entire grouped blocked thing, the block, by its layer. You gotta explode it to regain viz control of the elements, which when unblocked, now retain their original layer assignments.

As Eric did, think it through, take your time, maybe use Chief's excellent CAD tools to do a cross section study to determine the mix of pitches and wall (room) heights, then draw the walls and specify their roof-spring details. Then click build all roofs. That image of the front elevation can be used with CAD. Paste it in, scale it, and get to work. Looks to me like that upper center roof mass is a cross-gable, both ridges same height, looks like a cruciform from the drone's eye.

To model a fridge panel, I used a partition, made it my preferred size, it shows nicely in 3D and in plan, but I cannot get it to report to the cabinet schedule. My term fridge panel is for the full height 26.5" depth x 1.5" width panel adjacent a fridge. Pic attached. The base fillers, wall fillers, full height fillers, all will report, but not the partition. I dropped one elsewhere in the plan to see if a newly placed one would report, but no.

Only if you show us the rest of the house

The attic wall end needed a patch done with a solid, but she's good now. Thanks, Eric. Thanks, Mick. Off to the neighborhood picnic in the lovely mountain glen. Third generation families property owners here going back over 110 years.

OK, rebuilt the foundation and it fixed the ballooning stoop edge footing wall. The foundation plan I can CAD edit to make it look right, and it has a couple problems in 3D when I look under it, but all is good now for the con docs. Look at the attic portion of the stoop roof support wall, how its end finish ain't there. I had to fix the wall below using a room divider wall for the outboard end of the wall to butt to, so maybe this same hack will fix the attic part. If not, a solid will patch it.

The attic thing seems to take away the ballooning footing wall, but there's no footing under the right edge of the porch foundation slab.

Guess I'll try that, Eric. More than just a few clicks, though.

That normal wall needs to be there and I had it all successfully modeled when I took this shot. And this rear elevation.

I think I can share this using Google Drive. Let's see if this works. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IukXwD7wdG0D7Jv8qhv98ET-XZ6qL1FH/view?usp=drive_link

I had this OK before but not now. See the pics. The building has a slab foundation I have drawn with foundation wall footings to create the thickened edges. As can be seen, one of the walls, specified just like the others, builds atop the slab and runs up to the roof. How can I fix this? The footing wall opposite it, where the post is bearing, has the same spec definition but is not rising up off the slab. Both it and the front footing wall are behaving as I want. All three bounding walls are room definition walls and they define the porch. All three are under a roof. There is no ceiling, as the roof soffit is the ceiling.

A roof for sure, lower the sun intensity to something like 8,000 for starters, and add more interior lights.

Methinks the OP wants it auto-labeled. It's like Americans have names for things, hoods and trunks of cars come to mind, and the Brits call those bonnets and boots. Perhaps a feature request is needed, some kind of global terms replacement. Like, even in the specs and dialog tabs. Substitute "column" for "post," swap out "lookout" for "outrigger." How about other languages? Should there be a Japanese version of Chief?

Headers are framing in Chief-speak, while lintels are trim. Are you wanting what Chief terms headers, called out in labels as "lintels" instead?

What is a garage entrance wall? I'm familiar with the term apron for the slab outside the garage door, and I draw one with the slab tool.

@kbaxterIn your original post, the front elevation shown has that garage roof hipped with only one gable, the small one, showing if you take a right side elevation. But you gabled it. Do you want to match the roof arrangement shown in the pic you attached, or do you want it gabled, as you modeled it?

I place a callout, spec it to have a section line with arrow, and how can I reverse the arrow? I placed the callout beneath a wall, section line going vertical UP, and the arrow is pointing left. I want right.

I just added a second subfloor layer to my floor 2 floor structure. Formerly it was 9.5 inch joist with 3/4 subfloor total 10-1/4. The elevation now shows 11 inches between and there is no pair of lines there 3/4 apart. Why would you add a subfloor atop a subfloor?

Siding always covers floor framing for whatever floor or floors you view in an elevation. If you are getting some double line at your ceiling / floor junctures, you are doing something wrong. I opened a new plan, did walls for a two floor box house with board and batten siding, clicked to get auto storypole, and look what I got.

That's good one, Reenee. Pardon my nick for my favorite teacher. Too bad we can't copy distribute on path those light sources. Or can we? Maybe not vertical. One thing I really like about your toots, is the caption pic vid of you, as you speak and watch and glance at the keyboard or whatever space age device (joystick?) you are using. The effect is like being in a classroom. The remarks about light bleed are gold.

What a dummy I am! Zero thickness is allowed. I shoulda just looked at the OOB room divider wall,
