1ucieAlfie Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Can anyone help ? I have been trying to create a roof using my architects drawings for over a week and I am at the end of my tether. The property is a small old house of 2 levels with an offset gable roof. At the back is a little extension with a sloping roof. This building is attached to a barn on the ground floor only which has 2 extensions. My problems are ... 1. Getting the old house roof to join with the barn roof without reconstructing everything. 2. Covered area at the front which has a smooth run from the barn gable. Sorry if my technology is wrong I am a total newbie. I have attached 2 pdfs Architect Plans 2 Pages - This shows the inside of the property (not really relevant for a roof problems but who knows) Planning Permission - Page 6 has the roof design and may explain my exasperation. Many thanks for reading this. Deborah Architect Plans 2 pages.pdf Planning Permission Doc 04 3930 140814 PC FACADES TOITURE x6C.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm sure if you could post the actual Chief plan it would be more useful for helping you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ucieAlfie Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Okay, perhaps I exaggerated when I said I was a newbie ? "Chief Plan" ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_M Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Okay, perhaps I exaggerated when I said I was a newbie ? "Chief Plan" ??? Yes, the "Chief Plan". That means the Chief Architect software created plans you are creating to draw this project. Are you using Chief Architect software? What version? What level of expertise in construction do you have? Posting the plan means uploading the Chief Architect drawing file. ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ucieAlfie Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Ah ! I've had a glass of wine and think I know what you mean ... try this Damn ! Okay that didn't work - the file is 30 meg. Is there a way of compacting or something ? The software I'm using is Homes Designer Suite 2015. At the moment though I think I would prefer the quill. Perhaps another glass of wine ?

DRAWZILLA Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 You need to put the plan in a zip folder to send it , also the chief plan must be closed before zipping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ucieAlfie Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 I've deleted all the furniture and stuff and got the file to a manageable size. I would like to add that I have added some walls just to try to get verandas and in an attempt to get the roofs where we need them. What I'm trying to say it that the earlier architect files may be useful with this plan. I have very little (no) architectural experience. I am trying to pick it up as I go along. That may sound daft but I'm not as green as I sound. My husband is the architectural brains and I'm trying to work on and with the paperwork. Between us we WILL succeed but it just may take longer than for some people. Hope it makes sense - any questions please ask.

lbuttery Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Homes Designer Suite 2015 is a very limited version as is most of the HD product line - except HD PRO you will find little help on the Chieftalk forum you will have better luck on the Hometalk forum Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ucieAlfie Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 I logged into Hometalk then chose User Resources then "Seeking Services, Need help with your project" This seemed like the correct path although it has brought me to Chieftalk.

lbuttery Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 probably best to contact CA's customer service on Monday and explain how you got here as they need to "fix" that many HD users end up here and Chiefer's can't really help them since the products have such limited features only HD PRO has manual tools and other features that Chiefer's can relate too Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ucieAlfie Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 OK I see, many thanks. I'll send an email coz I'm in SW France and the time delay would not catch me at my best. Merry Christmas and thanks again,+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
