Thanks for taking time to make the video. I have saved it for future reference.

Yes, thanks

Thanks, Bill ! It seems strange that Chief doesn't recognize the railing and automatically fill the ceiling above. The program is very intuitive in most instances.

How do I close the gap in the ceiling material above the railing walls?? thanks

Perry, thanks for the tip. I just started a new project and will make my basement level 1. Thanks to all of you hardcore Chiefers for sharing.

I have been out of town and away from my office. Thanks for the replies to my post. Glen, the shed dormer roof plane should be 4 in 12 and leave the main roof plane at 12 in 12. The shed roof plane is forcing it's pitch on the main roof. I followed the steps in the tutorial, listed in ( my orginal post) but end up with these results? Jay, thanks for your reply. I actually discovered "auto dormers" on my toolbar and placed an auto dormer in the rear roof plane and edited to my specifications. It was quick and easy.

I followed the training video #1510, http://video.chiefarchitect.com/?search=dormer, to create dormers but am missing something?? Cape (Stackpole rd. ).plan

Thanks for the reply, Joe. I guess all that matters is I am back in business!

How does the file get corrupted?

Thanks for the tip...

Success ! I do not understand what happened but it has been corrected with the help of CA tech support.

OK, so I have no 2nd floor that I spent several hours working on I get this message when I open the plan file: "floor 2 missing from plan files". I am using chief 9.54. Any ideas on how to retrieve the missing file? thanks, Jeff

Mike thanks for taking the time to help. Worked like a charm.

Yes, 9.5. It was state of the art back when I purchased it. Haven't used in several years. Guess I am a little rusty. No 3d editing... I posted a couple more pictures. Hoping you guys can help me out. thanks birdseye view.bmpinside ceiling.bmp
