DustinCourtright Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 This is for my own home, I'm not an architect but have been using Chief for personal uses since Chief 8! I just suck with complicated roofs. It looks simple, just a long gable on one side. It's all just for exterior renderings so the inside doesn't really matter much. I'm not sure how I can upload a file if anyone can help but I've tried for hours and just can't seem to make it match. If you look at the real picture, it's as simple as it looks in the photo, just a full gable where one side goes all the way down to the first floor on the right. Same roof style on the back as well, 4 / 12 pitch. Thanks if anyone can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Can you share your plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustinCourtright Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 I think I figured out a way to share without uploading here, I uploaded them to Google Drive The main layout file is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oReuC470Wmq75DqFNvFbkiIVEuw7Zns7/view?usp=drive_link But here's a file where all the other buildings have been deleted to make it just the basic house, then I would just copy and paste it into my bigger file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Porkmezp-UVJeX13lDC8wcKgHnnA2uGU/view?usp=drive_link Main folder location: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1u52qGsEYlzEV0X_OZ4m8at5-rCHACKuU?usp=sharing Thank you and anyone that can help, I'm stuck =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveNovato Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Could this be close? I took the roof section on the right side of the ridge and extended it downward. I also deleted all of the other roof sections that got in the way. I am also having trouble posting the plan back to you. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Mark3D Posted January 29 Solution Share Posted January 29 (edited) See if that is heading in the right direction, its working with auto roofs also do your signature I do not know what version you are using i figured it to be version12 Plus i deleted a lot of stuff to get the file small enough i think the terrain was the main file size problem BB Court main file.plan Edited January 30 by Mark3D 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustinCourtright Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 @SteveNovatoI greatly appreciate it! It looks like Mark was able to get it sorted right after you posted this @Mark3D oh man! That’s awesome! Thank you so much I greatly appreciate you both helping me with this. That’s very selfless to take the time to do so. I tried for hours but gave up. I’m so excited to keep going now that you helped me get it! - Dustin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark3D Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Video show fix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustinCourtright Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 @Mark3D That was extremely fun to watch and also very informative! My apologies for not thinking to share what version I'm using. The last Chief version I used was X14 but then that computer kicked the bucket one day and I couldn't find my key info so I actually went about 6 years without using Chief at all. Then I bought my current house and missed this as a hobby so I purchased the cheaper Home Designer Pro 2021 since I just use this as a hobby. I opened your plan and I can only view it and not actually modify it. But with the video I should be able to use that video to copy what you did into my plan. Just have to say I appreciate it more than you know. In today's world there's not a lot of people willing to selflessly help people out without expecting something in return. Thanks so much =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustinCourtright Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 It opens but says I’m only allowed to view. However I was easily able to do it myself from the YouTube video you made. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much =) You should be able to get x14 working as i think its the last version that we get to own, so contact chief and see if they can help you get working again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
