I think I remember it happening to me a long time back. I use these logos now and don't have the issue.

Try a series of shaped landings to get to the straight section.

Also, importing from CAD, the lines may be the same color as your background, so you can't see them. Change the color of the layer and see if they pop up then.

Put them above the roof plane.

I have been researching this as well. My office may be going through a growing phase, and will need something. Here are a couple that I have saved to research.

Build the model like you would build the home. Roof sits on the floor 1 plates, or on a small knee wall. 

There is also a checkbox during the roof setup to tell Chief to ignore the second floor when adding a roof. That should give you what you are looking for.

Turn on the framing and set the defaults. 

There was, at one time, a member/user that worked for Bender Lumber down south that did plans. Don't remember his/her name. Might check with the folks at Bender Lumber

I am about 40 mins north of Indy.

As said above...make sure you don't have the windows recessed. When recessed the extension will run behind the veneer and not able to be seen.

Had an exact conversation with a builder once about the foot length Chief was giving us. He didn't believe it, didn't want to hear it.....ended up buying more base. 

I have to admit, I am confused by this. That set of plans doesn't have dimensions on it. Are you relying on builders/estimators to pull their own dims when estimating your projects? In all the years I have been doing this, I can probably count on one hand how many times I have scaled a drawing. Dimensions provided should always override a field scale. 

You have to include those things in your model before they can be counted. If you want J-Channel, there needs to be J-Channel in the model.

I made this suggestion back in January.

If you want a 2D roof plan that looks like the plan in your example, then Chief may not be the tool for you. Until the issue with overlapped roof planes is addressed, it is what it is. But...if you are using a different plan file, just for an aesthetic reason, then you are truly missing the boat with Chief. Using/learning more about reference sets, layer sets, and anno sets will be huge for you.

As for a professional looking roof plan in Chief....I would beg to differ. 

Now opened

If your not using the join tool because it changes your pitch, then you have something off somewhere else. I use that tool everyday...every plan...no exceptions.

Not for nothing...but I use Chief on a few different machines, none of them "top of the line" and I honestly can't remember the last time Chief has crashed. I only bring this up, certainly not to rub your nose in it, but so that you can know if it's a Chief thing or a hardware issue.

Good luck.

Open and place a framing schedule. Open the schedule DBX and uncheck everything but the roof truss. Rename truss schedule and boom....your done. Take 2 mins.

It's actually a pretty easy process. Make the foundation wall a "pony wall"  with the thinner of the 2 walls on top, and check the box for "hang 1st floor platform inside foundation walls" and you are good. You will need to set the heights accordingly, and manually place the P.T. plate below the joists, but again...pretty painless.

DJP: There are multiple reasons to model this situation correctly, not the least of which is so that the model is correct, and thus your details, sections, and materials lists are correct. And quite frankly, for someone that advertises to be a professional Chiefer, and to offer training and Chief help services for pay, I am more than a little disgusted that you would dismiss someone that is asking for the exact thing you offer. You don't want to tell him for free, fine...but to simply dismiss the request as a waste of time is appalling.

That would be my guess as well. Don't "attach" the deck to the house with 3 rails...draw all 4 side away from the main structure and use EDIT AREA to select and move the deck into place. See what results you get then.

Based on the layout. The roof is exactly how it should be.

Why would the bifold be an advantage over any other door?

 

Using the bi-fold will allow you to use the actual specs of the product you might purchase. Like the glass firedoors on the front of the fireplace. You can set the width. height, and depth of the actual units.

I do the same as you, but inherited a project a while back, and found this issue with the fixtures. I generally only want the walls and openings for as-builts.
