Help With Split Level

[Thomas]

Hey all, I'm having some troubles with creating a split level.

I'm following the guide via, http://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-00932/

 

Then I get to step 4.

Select the wall and click the Open Object  edit button.  On the Roof panel of the Wall Specification dialog:
 

• Check the box beside Lower wall type if split by butting roof.
   
• Then, select an interior wall type that is structurally similar to your exterior wall from the drop-down list and click OK.  
   
• For example, if your exterior wall type is "Siding-6", select "Interior-6" from the drop-down list.

 

I cannot seem to find the 'Lower wall type if split by butting roof' option,

I'm currently running X6 Suite,

 

Any help would be appreciative,

Thank you!

I imaging you have Home Designer Suite, as there is no X6 Suite.

 

The Home Designer Forum is https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/

 

The tutorial you referenced applies to Chief Architect Premier, Interiors and Lite, and Home Designer Pro -- not Home Designer Suite.

 

See the icons at the top of the tutorial.

 

Come over to the Home Designer forum where you will find help for your product.

 

Created a new topic, those forums seem much less active.

How to achieve various specific outcomes using programs other than Pro or Chief one carefully studies the data found in the "Build Roof" Dialog - "Roof Styles" tab where how to set up for each roof style is explained. Generally speaking, all Chief Architect Inc software does what it does based upon either factory default settings or those settings that the end user sets to guide the software to wanted results. When you know where those settings are, what they are for and what they then do, you have the software mastered where it then becomes a tool, to do otherwise (guessing, trial and error or being "intuitive") just takes too long when all the answers are already resident in the Help Files, Reference Manual and in help videos. It just costs some of yout time and attention followed by practice of what was studied.
