Yes, unlock the "Framing, Roof Trusses" layer and edit away.

Attaching the .plan file would eliminate guesses, but you can try a few things: make the porch 'wall type' the same as the house wall type, or change the 'attic' wall to the same 'wall type' as the house wall, etc.

Post the plan for best answers from the group. Guesses without the plan would be, wall alignment, wall definitions, wall types, roof baselines, roof gable lines, mismatched ceiling heights, etc. One quick test would be to drag the house siding wall forward onto the porch to replace the wall you are showing to see if you get the same results...if it fixes it, then it's likely a wall alignment issue. If it doesn't, then it could a ceiling height or other issue. Again, just guesses without the plan.

...and (just to clarify) are you exporting from plan view or from the layout? From there, without seeing exactly the step by step process you are following, it would be difficult to troubleshoot. I'd recommend calling tech support where they can walk through the process with you to help find the culprit. Best of luck...hope you aren't on a time crunch....nothing more fun.

Perhaps play with the 'feet' vs 'inches' scaling units during the export process...?? https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00013/converting-plan-files-to-dwg-or-dxf.html Also, make sure you are exporting from the plan file vs the layout file. Just a couple of quick thoughts.

Your ridge is sloped because the baselines or walls they are following are not parallel to each other. Parallel roof baselines are needed to have a level ridge.

Try adjusting the Z axis.

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

3D>Materials>Plan Materials Multiple select all instances and 'merge'.

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.

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..?

You're very welcome!

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.

imported just fine for me 159856970_41815thstreet.plan
