Make the default foundation mono slab, then double click in the bathroom and look under the structure tab and uncheck the mono slab option and see if that gives you what you want. There will be some cleanup and some adjustments to those foundation rooms once you have them all set, but it should work.

I would use the EDIT AREA (ALL FLOORS) tool to take the 8" section cut out first, then use the same tool to select the area to be moved and point to point move that section into place. Remember though, the AutoCAD stretch tool, from what I can remember works well, but it's only moving 2D lines, in Chief you are moving 3D parametric objects so there will likely be a little housecleaning to do.

Don't "Pull the wall down" simply put the shed roof on it and the auto generated attic walls will go away.

Click on the wall the roof planes are setting on and change the pitch there. Auto Roofs will still work using the walls.

Are the main layers above in line with one another?

Open a test plan and try setting these and see if this helps. You are, in my opinion, wayyyyyy overthink this. I do a ton of construction plans each year and rarely need more than these. MDP X12 Default_Anno_Sets.cadefs MDP X12 Layer Sets.layers

All my notes, fills, roof pitch markers, etc are in my library. Drag and drop. EDIT: I will add that. I have "canned details" in my library, but by the time you drop those, explode them so that they can be adapted for the specific project, and then added to the layout page, I can do details just as fast this way and I don't want/need hundreds of details floating around and clogging my library. Faster, for me, to model accurately and drop my notes and fills and move on. I have a 3/4"=1' annotation/layer set so one click, a few drag and drops and detail done.

FWIW...I would keep this live and model the area like I want it built. Live details and sections are easy to do and you don't end up fighting all those CAD lines. My layout view... When you click on a detail... Just crop them down on the layout page.

I complete the base plan, get it right and get the con docs finished. Then SAVE AS_Elev B and make those changes. Then go back to the base and SAVE AS_Dining Cantilever and get that done, etc... Keep them all in the same file and use one layout file, all in the same folder.

Does this help?

You can actually place a small wall there, and call it an attic wall so that it doesn't show on the floor plan. Either way works, and whichever is fastest for you to work it out.

You have a gap there because the ceiling in the garage is higher than the roof plane and there is no structure filling that spot.

I don't have any of that. These are vector view camera cuts.

Construction company want ads. You need an understanding of construction to able to design and create plans.

What is that?

Place the girder truss(s), and multiple copy tool set to 16" o.c.

Yes you do. Here is a page of details all from the model. Live camera views, labeled from my library and sent directly to layout. Very little if any CAD other than the earth and stone fill.

Is floor framing layer turned on?

Draw all the trusses in, hold SHIFT and select them all, open bdx and check energy heel. Take 20 seconds.

I'm confused with, what does actually drawing the truss have to do with raising the roof plane off the plate? You can still depict the energy heel without actually drawing all those trusses. Am I missing something?

Do you have lineweights turned off in your layout view?

With all due respect, the roof as currently shown, isn't worth fixing. That will never work without a very large cricket for proper drainage, and the ridge hitting the bottom of the window is gonna be a problem as well.

As Eric said, use a wall cabinet. Place the wall cab, drag it down to the countertop, remove the bottom and add the door style, should take less than a minute to do this. Would take longer do dig around the library.

I used invisible walls on the floor above and changed he floor structure from 2x12 to 2x6
