Could you look at my plan from earlier when you were helping me last weekend and tell me if I setup my roof accurately to provide a truss view? I thought I was supposed to go to the CAD Detail Management screen and it would provide views of the trusses so I could try and teach myself the truss layout plan views but I'm having a hard time understanding how people can get detailed roof truss views for a plan layout. This was the link I've been trying to follow. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00465/general-framing-guidelines.html Thanks Tami

Thanks for the response. I wasn't looking for a slab or anything to the side of the garage more a general question if the rear porch was accurate for structure post height. I couldn't find any sizing on the tutorial as to if a person wanted the basement in the ground what height would I set my structure posts at? Also like I mentioned I couldn't understand the chimney tutorial so I decided to try and draw cement walls and add brick around them. I will try your suggestion on manually adjusting the roof edge. And I just forgot to add a door to the basement under porch storage room. Thanks for the reminder I will go back and add that. My concern for the basement dimensions and lining up accurately with the main floor is I was reading a post that was commenting that people need to be aware that the basement needs to dimension to match the main floor exterior. Maybe I have my dimensions setup wrong to dimension the basement most of it appears to match except just was questioning if I had something inaccurate. Also was wondering if someone could advise me if I added a basement bearing wall correctly? And for the size of the basement if adding that structural column in the center of that or would you suggest something else? I know I added two posts/columns but just want to try and get a good basic understanding of an overview of Chief. Much appreciated of your time to respond. Thanks Tami

Thanks for the offers to provide help. I'm really trying to just to put something together that may have an example of something that could be used towards any style of home so this plan may really not even make sense. Any suggestions, feedback or help is greatly appreciated. I placed or worked mostly on default plan set. I know this is probably wrong and I should work on individual layer sets. If someone could just tell me is my basement lined up with my upstairs or how many times do I need to try and rebuild it? I don't know if my dimensions are accurate, roof plane I used the auto roof tool and I really tried to guess on creating porches and the chimney. I hope someone can look at this plan and provide an honest and helpful opinion or help tutor me to understand my mistakes. Thanks again for the offers to help. Tami Plan_1.plan

Hi friends, I'm just completing my first plan and would like to ask if someone could help me review my plan. I'm really trying to understand and make sure I have the plan complete and accurate since I'm trying to teach myself. Mainly if someone could review my roof on the chief plan and layout plan and also confirm that I dimensioned my plan correctly (I feel that even though I chose to auto add the build foundation that it may be off compared to my upstairs main floor)? For know I was only trying to learn how to exterior views, dimension plan, roof plan (this is why if someone as knowledge that my roof plane and trusses are correct I would appreciate the help) and if someone would be willing to offer any suggestions to the plan I would surely appreciate the help. Willing to pay for any offered help list your prices below. This is not a job for me just a stay at home mom wanting to pick up some design skills. Maybe I could look into some tutoring services someone to review my plan to make sure I am on the correct path?...

I would like to purchase Home Desigb Pro and design a custom home for my family. Can anyone tell me is it possible to design and print blueprints that will work for the state of Idaho or do I need to invest in an X7 architectural license to get the job done? Thanks in advance for any help.
