Deck issues and bay windows HELP!

[BrittanyT]

Hello - I am new to Chief Architect and desperately need help figuring out this deck I'm trying to create. When I go to add railings to it, they are floating - which they weren't before. And the structure below is no longer showing up - I would like to have the deck reach the top of the terrain for a clean look. The hot tub is supposed to be sitting on top of the terrain as well, and the deck should be built around it, but I'm not sure how it got raised. The paneling also doesn't look as good as I'd like, but that is not main priority.

 

I also cannot figure out bay windows...one of the windows has disappeared, and I have the width I need and location of the window where I need it, but the deck is being built around it when I would like it to just continue underneath of it. If there's a way to connect the windows and not have brick in between - that would be great as well - if not, I am open to any help. I have attached the file here. Please help! Thank you!

For your deck structure issues, you need to open up your deck room specs, go to Structure and find the edit button for Planks,Joists and check the Framing button for your deck joist material layer (#2). Make sure the Automatically regenerate deck framing button is checking in the Deck tab.

 

 

If you want to change the elevation of the decks you have to change the Floor absolute elevation in the Structure tab to wherever you want it in relation to your terrain, main floor, etc.,.

 

 

Explode the hot tub architectural block and use the transform/replicate tool to move the steps & the hot tub on the Z-axis to get them where you want them in relation to the terrain and deck.

 

I try to stay away from bay windows so I can't help you much there.

Explode Bay Window and copy the small window and reflect about the center of the Bay, you deck railing is causing the small window to disappear. The Bay Window is also cutting your deck plank boards, you will need to make sure you mark the decking planks to framing in the deck structure tab as well, as was mentioned in the comment above to get them to show in plan view. Once they are showing you can select them and extend them to the end, see plan note about the planks. You will need to have all framing on the deck finished before you extend the planks because that will turn off the auto rebuild deck framing. I hope this makes since.
