Right, so the connecting room with it's 3/12 or 4/12 pitch (whichever you choose as the designer) will not have the same fascia height as the existing house with it's 12/12 pitch because they have different pitches (12/12 vs 4/12). Per your original post, you want the plate height and fascia heights to be the same as the existing house. That isn't possible with different pitches without making adjustments, such as those I listed in my previous post. Side note: I'm a little confused by your comment quoted above "both roof planes on the connecting room needs to be the same" ...because the plan you posted they are the same...? Is your issue with those planes or with the fascia heights being the same as the existing like your original post declares?

If I'm following this correctly, you want to have 2 roof sections perfectly align by having: same plate height same fascia height same overhang distance but different pitches? (your posted plan has 12/12 pitch at existing and 4/12 pitch at new connection) If that is correct, that isn't possible. All of those would have to be equal for them to be equal. You can however make adjustments to get the fascia heights to match. Such as: different overhang distances than each other (extend the 4/12 overhang to get it to the desired height, but will result in a larger overhang...can increase pitch to minimize the overhang distance) different plate heights (lower new room height in this case due to the lower pitch...you could raise that pitch to minimize how much to lower plate height) or just accept that the fascia heights will not align if you have to have the plate heights the same and the overhangs the same etc.

Select the window, 'open item' (Ctrl+E) to get the Window's Specifications, select the 'Lites' panel and adjust the Across and Vertical as desired. While you are in that panel, press "F1" and the Chief Help will give more information on the dialogue you have open. F1/Help is really good...you can search topics as needed.

I've seen it render differently in different Adobe readers. I've seen it show in some readers and not others. Perhaps post the PDF file, versus a screenshot, so we can all view it with our different readers to see if we all see the same thing.

A few ways to do it. I'm assuming you already have the parapets and just need the stepping? I use an upper floor that draws out all of my parapet walls (good for controlling the elevations and I like to have a parapet plan in my condocs)...I then use interior walls to define spaces/rooms that I can control the heights of that control the parapet heights. These walls can be invisible if you don't want them seen. then I use solids to detail it further: adding the additional stepping. OR you can actually adjust the walls by breaking them and moving them up or down. In your specific elevation. I would probably create 3 rooms: one for each side/corner and one for the middle and define the ceiling heights to get the rough steps outlined. I would then use solids to create the steps. I prefer solids as it is easier to dimension and control since you can do it in floor plan view and elevation view and use dimension strings....IMO. but wall breaks with moving them up or down can work as well....but only in elevation view. Hope that gets you started in the right direction. Feel free to ask any follow up questions.

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.

See if this thread helps, if not, as mentioned, contact support directly.

...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.
