Can't highlight a room

[chrisinnh]

When I edit exterior wall defaults and draw a basic square structure, I can't highlight the room and the roof does not build.  When I delete the structure, and revert to standard siding-6, I still can't highlight the room and a roof won't build.  Yet, when I launch Chief, without adjusting wall defaults, the software performs as it should.

 

Edit:  reset to defaults.  Did not work.  I have 2021 HD Pro- built same assembly on that platform without issue.

First things, first...

 

If you can't "select" / "highlight" a room, it's possible that Rooms may be locked in the Active Layer Options. Unlock them and try it.

Ugh, was hoping that'd do the trick!

 

Went through the process of building the wall assembly one layer at a time.  Turning on the "furred wall" option turns off the roof and makes the room inaccessible- which is very odd, I used this option on a different version of a plan earlier today.

The other common reason for not being able to select a room is it is not actually closed in by drawn walls. If you have foundation walls on floor 0 they will create attic walls on floor one. These will make it look like you have walls enclosing a room...but you really do not

Have you tried toggling No Room Definition in the wall specification dbx?

I did look at the toggle- wasn't an option, was grayed out.

 

When I looked at the framing view, framing was only showing for the original square before I entered the actual structure dimensions.  I rebuilt the framing, which then matched the structure, and I was able to click on the room (house was only one room at that point).  I do not understand why the happened/ is happening, auto everything is on.
