Build the floor/ceiling framing, either manually or automatically. Open the Room Specification dbx and remove the ceiling finish. This will expose the floor framing and/or the ceiling joists above.

Your question belongs in the General Questions forum. You should post it there for more responses. Also, post your plan file, or at least some pictures to help explain your issue.

Joe, I think he's planning on bearing the floor joists on a plate. Here's a section thru his plan:

I did a forum search, and Glen Woodward had the answer: "The blank floor areas are usually caused by the Build Platform To setting in the wall def dbx. There should be no reason why you can't use that wall def, as long as the above settIng is set to the correct wall layer." Change the setting to layer 5 (you're main layer):

Oh, that old problem. I know someone else will remember how to fix this before I do.

Easy answer is that there isn't a second floor, or a roof for that matter.

To add to what Jon and Joe said, you can also create a closed polyline, edit it's shape to whatever you need, then convert it to a material region using the convert polyline tool.

Attaching a Layout without the Plan doesn't do us any good.

I don't have that problem. I'm also on X7. Here is your plan in 3D Overview in Vector and Standard:

This topic has been covered several times in this forum, so a forum search should give you several threads to review for help.

Have you tried these possible solutions?

Have you tried messing around with the wall intersection tool? Maybe you could post the plan.

It's got something to do with the way the invisible wall (defining the porch) interacts with the wall corner. I just grabbed the room divider wall and "drew over" the problem wall and it fixed the issue.

Graham has given you one option - create the geometry and save it as a molding to use along a molding polyline: The disadvantage to this technique is it can be tricky to get the geometry and the material definitions to give you what you want. You can see in the image above that when the molding symbol is placed along the the molding polyline the materials I've used don't behave on the ends. Another method is to create the symbol as millwork (or something other than a molding), then simply repeat it until you've got the desired length. Either way, to place into the wall you can create a material region to cut away the finish brick, then "insert" the molding/symbol into place:

This is the real problem. Simply move the stone layer in your wall def out of the main layer category up to the exterior layer category.

Just draw the walls to create the vestibule: ...then plop in the windows and doors (nothing useful in the Library - you'll have to roll your own): ...you get this: ...here's a quick section through the vestibule - mezzanine above (created as a second floor): Commercial in Chief isn't always easy, but most of it can be accomplished.

Attach a plan so we can look at your settings, wall type, etc.

I don't have this problem in X7. In X6 you can either: 1. Put the upper window in the attic wall; however, you won't be able to mull the upper and lower windows. 2. Put the upper window in the lower wall, then use the Transform/Replicate Object tool to position the upper window in the Z Delta (dragging the window results in the bumping behavior you are experiencing).

Until you posted your reply, I'd never viewed a wall elevation or cross-section in anything other than Vector. It had never occurred to me that the other rendering styles were available in an elevation or cross-section. So, I feel pretty stupid. But to your point - I suspect CA didn't implement reflections in an elevation or cross-section because they would be of little value (IMO).

A mirror will display in both section and elevation if the layer they are assigned to is active. They won't reflect anything - obviously - but they will display as linework.

You're right - nobody made me buy it. Unfortunately, my boss decides what software we use. If it were up to me we'd still be using AutoCAD and Revit. But that's beside the point. When we started using Chief they made no claims about it's suitability for commercial use. Now they do. If they're going to make the claim, they need to back it up.

It's not the roof planes - I think. You can pull the roof planes back and it has no effect.

Grab this exterior wall and drag it across to the west wall: Then select the wall segments on the interior, open the object dbx, and set the Roof>Lower Wall if Split by Butting Roof to Room Divider: Then set the Wall Types>Pony Wall>Display in Plan View to Lower Wall: You should get this: Repeat for the other side.

Not any longer. The only time we revert back to AutoCAD/Revit is for large commercial. The boss wants everything done in Chief because that's the only program he knows how to use.
