Simply import the necessary information into the plans. Go to File>Import to see the options and experiment. I typically import: Default Sets, Layer Sets, Default Settings, Saved Plan Views. You can also import Wall Definitions if needed. Anything you need beyond that can typically be copied or modified within the plan. Hope that helps. I have plans all the way back to version 8 (.pl1, .ca1)...and while plans that old can take a little more work, it is still better/faster to import than to start over. Your plans, coming from X12 and newer, should be pretty straight forward.

I think it has something to do with Soffits...if you turn those off I think it gets rid of it, but depending on other settings such as Boxed Eaves, turning soffits off will change the look of your Eaves in Camera, so be aware of what is happening there before you fully commit to it. Might need to do some experimenting with it. I'm going off memory, haven't looked it up...so hopefully I'm steering you in the right direction.

Look at the "Roof, Overhang Area" layer and see if that gets you what you want.

Best guess?...something to do with the referencing...either from another floor or another plan.?

For the boxed eaves, unchecking 'flush eave' should fix it. As far as your random walls, I can't speak to that without seeing your process. The only walls Chief creates automatically are attic walls (and island rooms). Since those aren't attic walls, they were likely drawn by you, or changed from attic walls to normal walls at some point....or possibly some as-built walls since it looks like there used to be a room there...?? all guesses of course.

Per the plan I attached and notated above, it's the wall you have extended past the rooms that is causing the problem...delete it beyond the rooms and it will work cause the attic wall to act properly. As mentioned, in follow up post, just some clean up of the model will make thinks work as expected. I haven't had an offending attic wall like that before, but I keep my models pretty clean by not having extra walls and keeping all roofs connected without overlap, etc. Hope that helps.

Yes, good point...several things to clean up, which are contributing...

Separate plan files....I few reasons come to mind off the top of my head: revisions for each building and the design process with the customer municipalities typically require separate submittals, so easier to create those with separate files roof creation: might need slightly different styles or roofs for each structure...and auto vs manual roofs, etc site plan: can move them easier on the site independently if want to experiment with locations terrain ...other reasons i'm not thinking of

Same here...maybe an extension causing the issue??

Not 'way off' zero...I always start centered on it, but naturally during the design process, it will get offset from it some what. So, if centered on zero, then reverse plan works great, but I'm never perfectly centered on it, but typically within 5-20'. As far as terrain, my properties are flat and rectangular, so no issues with adjustments there, but reverse plan makes it off centered as it doesn't rotate with reverse plan, but adjusts perfectly with 'edit area'. Thanks for exploring the options with me, I wanted to see if I missed a change with an upgrade....seems to be working the same it always has. Perhaps a feature upgrade would be to have 'reverse plan' prompt how to reverse it...on zero or on models center. Thanks again for the feedback.

@rgardner thanks for the feedback...I just tried the 'reverse plan' tool in X15 in the .plan file and it still mirrors offset and doesn't reverse terrain, camera offsets, etc. When using 'edit area' and setting the reflect point at dead center of the project, none of those issues come up. ...let me know what I'm missing. I'm all for using the best tool available.

Lot's of discussion on this topic, searching this form is a great resource (see link at end of post). I recommend the 'Edit Area all Floors' technique discussed in some of these threads so the elevations stay in place...the reverse plan tool is the easiest and quickest, but reverses about 0,0 which makes the cameras offset, etc. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/search/?&q="reverse plan"&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy
