If I'm understanding your explanation and thinking through the geometry in my mind, it should be possible by doing steeper pitches on the long side (or shallower pitches on the short side). For better answers, posting a plan is always recommended.

There is no room defined there. The very left (gable) wall is currently defined as a 'no definition' 'attic wall'. Change that to a standard wall (uncheck attic wall, no room definition and no locate) and it will create the room definition that you can manipulate further. Hope that helps.

And, to add to Gary's comments, you could do the entire roof automatically if you set your ceiling's correctly in the main building, and turn on "roof over this room" in the separate mechanical room.

John's suggestion is the best solution for now...may have to tweak manually...or drawing it manually would be pretty fast...can quickly modify any of the initial auto roofs pretty quickly.

The left patio (railing) wall needs to align with Bed 3 wall..moving that patio wall to align with the framing layer of bed 3 fixes it.

Welcome to Chief Architect. I'm 'guessing' you are referring to Chief Architect's 'Home Designer' software since you reference 'Pro 2024'? If so, there is a separate forum for that software series found here: https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/ And various training vids for Pro 2024 found here that you can explore and find what you need: https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/videos/ However, if you are referring to to Chief Architect Premier, then you are in the right place in which I would still recommend watching Chief's excellent training videos. For layer management, including making and renaming layers these videos are a good start: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/playlists/100/saved-plan-views-layers-annotations.html Beyond that, you can explore more advanced videos in the library. Hope that helps.

Depending on the exact look you are after...you can either add grids/lites to the window through the window dialogue, or create individual windows and mull/block them together. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/67/door-window-basics.html

This will typically use more computer resources, so I try to avoid it, but certainly an option.

The desktops are nice and I use them (Windows 11), albeit a little differently than you. I've created keyboard macro shortcuts for the multiple keys you mentioned to cycle through the desktops quickly. (I wish they cycled in a loop, and also wish they displayed on the taskbar which desktop you are in...there are 3rd party apps that get close). For reference, I have 4 monitors. To accomplish what you want, pull the tabbed project out of chief into a new window, then move that new window into the desired desktop(s)....this is accomplished by pulling up the desktop view of all desktops (click on the desktop icon) then right click on the window you want to move and chose which desktop you want it moved to, or put it on multiple desktops. I just tested it and works well without any errors since it is basically one instance of chief open with multiple tabs and those tabs are put in whatever desktop(s) you desire. I organize my desktops by business needs. Desktop for "Design" where I have Chief and other design resources open Desktop for "Office": emails, browsers, finance software, etc Desktop for "Presentation" where I have a clean setup for both in person meetings and virtual meetings sometimes I'll delete this one and recreate it just for the meeting so i don't have to cycle through it It works nice to be able to get rid of the 'office' stuff while designing....eliminates distraction. Let me know if that answered your question or if I didn't explain it well and if it works for you.

This is how it opens for me...looks like you fixed it.

Your supplied Chief file is empty. This is typically a result of zipping the file while the file/plan is open. Close the plan, then zip and upload.

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.?
