What would cause this interior condition? Rear_elevation_showing_connetor_roof_1.9.20.plan

So then if that is the case, I might just need another HDMI and have a daisy chain type set up?

I am running Chief 11 Primier on a laptop and additional larger monitor. I would like to run another monitor for having another large display. Is there an HDMI adapter that I might need in order to do this? Best buy is the nearest tech store unless I order something online. Does anyone have this type of set up? Laptop and two 32" monitors? The question is what type of splitter/adapter do I need and is it possible?

Thank you, and Happy New Year! One thing I have noticed is that sometimes a room has no room definition and it's hard to determine what element is missing to provide that definition....thank you

Hello, I created a new plan from an existing foundation and then made lots of little changes along the way. I deleted some auto generated attic walls and tried to build the roofs and I have a really unusual shape to the roof. Can anyone explain how that program would have generated something so unusual?

Thank you all and especially kbird, as those types of little explanations help with understanding.

I'm trying to steal some room in a garage. I'm having trouble getting the floor to place at the right height. The selection boxes have little open box wrench icons in them and I'm searching for what these mean and how to change this? I'm posting this screen shot while searching for the info. Thank you if anyone can point me where to look for the right info. Dormer study 12.27.19 10 am.zip

Thank you!

May I reach Jintu somehow?

Hello, I'm trying to learn how the program works to make things more precise in my drawings. I am struggling with an exterior wall that I select and make 26' long, I go back after awhile and select on the wall to pull up the dialogue box and it tells me it's now 310 5/8" why does this happen? What is overriding my direct input?

Which button is that David?

I was hoping I could get some feedback from anyone that has suggestions on improving this drawing. Don't be shy, please tell me how it could be better. Thank you Guerinni proposed Rev 12.26 C.pdf

Yes, thank you and I am doing just that. I suspect I am among the crowd that finds somethings frustrating because there is not a Sawzall button and a hammer button, lol

user error, So I was trying to tweak and improve some small items towards the end of the day yesterday and I corrupted part of my drawing. Is it recommended that one turns off certain auto generated features to avoid this? What I don't really understand is how these dormer exteriors autogenerated in an asymmetrical manner? small changes big results

Good morning, I'm a new user to Chief and I have just upgraded from HD 2020. Is there a way to create a wall type "Demo" so that one can show existing wall/s to be removed? I figured out how to change the hatching on interior walls for graphic display but it changes all of them. I want to keep certain existing walls and demolish others at specific locations. A point to a video tutorial is greatly appreciated?

Overall things are looking better but I understand the geometry of the roof planes but do not know how to adjust them and where the controls are located. I changed the eave overhead setting and shortened the soffits yet there is still something poking through the inside ceiling. I'll try again later,

Yes, this shows that the program is generating a boxed eave inside the roof of the main roof

Eric's video was very helpful. I'm a lot closer now after learning and trying the reflect about copy technique. I was successful with the second method and with the transform replicate I'm still getting an error message when I try to join the roofs even though they are all 12 pitch. This is the inside view witch is better but still not joined properly. The little items poking out of the ceiling look like the program building a boxed eave on this inside edge of the dormer roof...? I'll post the roof message too.

Yes, indeed, thank you Tommy!

I think the interior chatter marks are the program trying to create a boxed eave in the roof space. I wonder if it is programed to not do that on a dormer?

Wow! Thank you Solver, this is a big help!

It's getting better but still having problems on the inside, see attached screenshot
