I have noticed this same behavior with trapezoid windows. I figured I didn't have something quite right schedule/label wise but couldn't pin it down.

Gorgeous spring day here in MN. My best diagnosis after a couple snifters of bourbon: I think you have your wall def settings right but you don't have your foundation set to auto build so you have to manually move your foundation walls to get them to align with the stud walls after making any wall def changes, or set foundation back to auto build.

Here's what I would try to do. Create a polyline to match the inside perimeter of your retaining walls, then convert the polyline to an elevation region (I think this is possible?). Then copy/paste-hold position the elevation region and convert to a terrain feature or solid, change the materials of your new terrain feature/solid to your gravel. I think this should get you there as long as it is possible to convert polylines to elevation regions and convert elevation regions to polylines / terrain features / solids, which I can't remember if it is possible off the top of my head.

Hi John, since the room in this case is defined as "Floor Supplied by Foundation Room Below", you would have to go to your Floor 0 foundation level to edit the floor structure. As for selecting multiple rooms at once, I would try using the "Match Properties" tool on your edit toolbar once you select a room. You can then select from a wide ranging list of properties to narrow down your room selection as needed.

Very interesting, looking forward to hearing how it works for you. It looks like U.S. pricing would be $5,000, plus 15% tariff fees, and then a $99/month software subscription. Not a fan of subscription fees to run expensive hardware so that would be a turn-off for me.

That's a good question, I haven't used a pass-thru for a door in a minute but it does work for these situations. You may have to turn off the frame or jamb or whatever they call it on a pass-thru, and then use a molding line if you do need a jamb on the 3 sides. I'll be curious to hear how it works out for you.

Hit F1 to open up the help files in Chief and search for ceiling planes, or do a youtube search for some videos. Otherwise I think you're going to have to post your plan to get better help on here.

Create custom ceiling planes through the entire vaulted area that match the slope and height of your roof plane's ceiling finish layers. Your custom ceiling planes should then cover those inverted vault areas and be co-planar with your main vault ceiling.

I'd like to see the ability to start with a terrain and be able to subtract & add cut/fill areas with the ability to report area & volume of those cut/fills.

Same here

Not sure about the latest version, but I have the same GPU as you and have been running 581.57 studio version for the past month or so and it has been totally stable with Chief.

You can control how a material reports qty to the material list with the "Adjust Material Definition" tool. Also I'm thinking maybe a material region with air gap as material might be a quick way to tally up siding coverage in sq ft. I don't remember if you can assign material regions to schedules at the moment though.

I was able to get it pretty close to what I think you're after by tuning off auto foundation after it generates the foundation initially. Then go in and change the wall settings and floor/stemwall elevations until you get it how you want. Another key is making sure the slab pour #'s are different between the foundation section's rooms & walls. For example I have the walls & room in the stemwall section of the foundation as slab pour #1, and the mono garage room & walls set to slab pour #2. Pictures below with my settings, hope this helps.

I'm looking forward to digging into to this over the slower winter months. Looks like a very intriguing tool and love to see the dedication to making improvements.

Yeah you can either use the tudor arch method like in the thread Shane posted, or use the "Shape" section to put a peak in the middle by adjusting the top inside corner settings.
