decorators3 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 (edited) Hi I imported this house plan to create a 3D rendering for my client - house plan has two individual residences - one side is a one level with a crawl space - the other is a full basement ( 5 ft below ground )as you can see by the attached PDF. with a second floor 1. do I treat this as a split level? or work up from the basement 2. When I tried to add the second floor ( to at least have that added- seeing how I wasn't getting anywhere with the foundation) it does not show in my plan view and when I use perspective full overview only main floor shows ( with the foundation ) Wondering if it has something to do with the imported PDF Any assistance is welcome Cheers Levina Edited April 14 by decorators3 found out that to add the second floor has to be in camera view - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Hey Levina, the best way to handle this is to keep all of the main floor at the default elevation of 0. Then lower the Foyer floor and other floors as needed. The simplest way to understand the elevations is to import the elevation drawings into Chief at the correct scale. Place the drawings so the main floor elevation is at 0" on the grid and the create your own 'storypole' using some cad lines, dimensions and markers to develop a clearer picture of the various elevations. This method will give you the guidance you need to adjust room elevations in plan view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
