Wcampbell17 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Hey everyone, I really need some help. I just started learning and using Chief Architect 2 weeks ago, and the learning curve is pretty steep but all was going well. Now however all of a sudden, there are massive gaps between my floors!! Its like there are no coverings for the ceilings/floors... the weirdest part is that it only happens under glass walls. I attached images and also the plan. If you know how to solve this please help!! Its been driving me nuts. Plan uploaded in comments because size limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgardner Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Use a pony wall set to 0 height for the lower wall. Right now the glass wall is building down there which looks like a gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wcampbell17 Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 I put a pony wall of glass, and made the height very low but still this gap appears... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Chief is more typically used to model a house in which the exterior walls are built in layers. Examine in detail the specification for the out-of-box exterior walls like "Siding 6" and look at what is going on for every layer. There is a main layer that typically is set to have its outer face be the "building line," the line which is dimensioned in plan views. The layers outside that exterior layer, when we look at Siding-6, are the ones that extend down and cover the floor layers upon which the wall bears. This is why your siding layers do what you want to see. Do you want to model a house that can actually be built? If so, you'll want to seriously rethink how to do those glass walls.

SHCanada2 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 no foundation or slab? I think...you have glass walls where you should have normal walls and windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
