Referencing the entire model to the other plan is a good option that eliminates the need to create the symbol: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/193/offsetting-the-reference-display.html -

You have multiple instances of 'Rabs Drywall'. Merge them together and that will remove your line.

The link supplied in previous post covers most of that...following those direction, select the hatching after it has been placed, open it's dialogue box and change the pattern to solid fill and choose desired color. OR before applying the hatching, double click the tool and designate the fill then the subsequent walls you paste it on will have that designation.

Nowhere on website to change payment method?
BenPalmer replied to JBradleyConst's topic in Sales Related Questions
Agree...while calling is pretty painless (just did this the other day)...having the ability online would be preferred as then it can be done any time of the day or week. EDIT: uuuh...looks like some one deleted their post prior to mine...so now my post that was in response to theirs, doesn't make sense....oh well. -
Define/create a room under the soffit with invisible walls OR manually draw in the soffit with a 3D solid.

Yeah, posting the plan is going to give you the most help from others and the best answers. Best guess without the plan: the left wall of the garage has a 2nd or different pitch specified..?

Extending walls up to ridge board where two gable roofs join oddly

Extend the gable roof over that wall. An attic wall will be generated if there is a roof above it...if no roof above it, it will not be generated. Hope that helps. Willo Lane Existing.zip -
Regarding multiple floors...I simply imported the file you attached. If they are all in the same file, then it would be controlled via layers (I haven't looked into your file further). The best way to handle multiple floors is put them into separate cad files so you can import them into the different floors...but it can be done as one file, controlled via layers, but more work involved. As far as how I did it, I just followed the import wizard...doing a quick search, here are some help articles and vids (they reference site files, but essentially the same process): https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00719/importing-terrain-elevation-data-from-a-dwg-or-dxf-file.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1056/import-a-surveyor-dwg-file-for-a-site-plan-or-terrain-perimeter.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00283/troubleshooting-dwg-dxf-file-import-issues.html A good source is also found within the software's help: press F1 then search something like: Import DWG. Hope that helps.
