myrtsbnye Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hello all, I am working on a home that is full two stories and an attached 1.5 story garage.I am new to Chief Architect and am having a hard time figuring out what to do. I've seen a few videos and online tutorials but they just deal with a home that is 1.5 story. When I follow these my project ends up being entirely 1.5 story. How would I go about drawing this project (part full story and part 1.5 story)? Probably is quite straight forward but just can't wrap my head around it. Thanks for any help...

Dennis_Gavin Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Build the 2nd floor and in the room over the garage that is a half story adjust the ceiling height to what you want. That is the quick answer without knowing any other aspects of what you want the half story to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 If you mean that you just want the Garage to have a very high ceiling - just build the 2nd Floor above the rest of the house and adjust the garage ceiling height independently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrtsbnye Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 What I mean by the 1.5 story garage is there is a room over the garage, the room has 4' kneewalls with the roof starting on the kneewalls. The ceiling in this room would be at 9' so that there would slope from the kneewal until they reach 9' then be flat in the center. Does that make sense?

Joe_Carrick Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 OK, so for this 2nd Floor Room over the Garage, set the Ceiling Height to 9' and just move the roof planes down 5'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_on_Cape Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Or set the ceiling height of that room to 48", build roofs then change ceiling to 9' and the roof will not move but the ceiling will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
