mpaska Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) Edit: I've confirmed this is a bug in X16, it's working fine in X15. I've created Support Ticket 133553. I'm still learning. Following both https://cloud.chiefarchitect.com/1/pdf/documentation/chief-architect-x16-reference-manual.pdf (Page 861) and from 3:00 of this video: Using the Gable-Roof Line Tool - Video | Chief Architect I can't get the alcove tool to work in X16. Using a default new/template, with zero changes, and drawing exterior walls roughly the same as the video above. I can't get it to cover the alcove. What am I doing wrong? Attached video of my attempt to close the alcove.

mpaska Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 (edited) Ok, looks like a bug in X16. I will contact support. (Ticket created: ID 133553) Installing X15, I have zero issues with the feature. Edited September 30 by mpaska Added ticket number 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpaska Posted Tuesday at 06:28 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 06:28 PM Support have replicated and confirmed the bug. Should hopefully be sorted with an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted Tuesday at 09:59 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:59 PM Just an FYI, I don't think many people would actually use a gable line in that corner situation. I didn't even know that was a thing until I saw your post so I guess even old dogs can still learn new tricks. Personally, I would either draw invisible walls or railings, especially if I was going to have a slab floor or I wanted some posts to support the roof. You could also manually edit the roof in just a couple of steps to get that. Good for you on figuring out that it was a bug and reporting it though.

Thanks for advise and what would happen in the real world. I am a student, so just working through the training materials and noticed the behavior not working as per the videos. But yeap, Chief confirmed the issue and should hopefully have it sorted for those that do use the feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
