Thank you all for the responses, I'll dig into the best options. We would of course use a brick ledge to hold the weight of the full size bricks; I suppose it is just something that we cannot represent visually with the software without some manipulation.

Hello everyone, apologies if I was unable to find the solution for this in forums; I may not be searching for the correct topic. I have a building with an intersecting roof to a brick surface; the interior wall will be made of drywall and exterior surface above the roof of brick. Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to make this happen. I have tinkered with the knee wall settings along with attic walls, searched the help files for quite a while, but I only seem to be able to have brick on the inside & outside wall vs. the goal of sheetrock inside & brick on the exterior surface. I must be missing something elementary in this; I appreciate anyone who can help me. After 12 years in Autocad, this conversion to Chief is proving to be a bit of a learning curve with the terminology. Attached are two annotated images & a drawing file example of what we are talking about. Kind Regards, KC Intersecting Roof to Brick Wall Example.plan

Thank you so much, I thought it was simple... just couldn't find it.

Hello everyone, I haven't been able to find a simple way of clipping a column to fit against a wall. In Autocad I would usually clip it at 4/5ths of the size for the visual effect of the column against the wall. In Chief it seems to snap against the wall which would leave me with a gap between the column & wall surface. Am I missing something on this or do I need to build each one of these manually from scratch? Thank you!
