SketchArchitect Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 All - As a professed newbie, I have an issue that I'm sure is a simple fix, i just don't know how to do it. I have this porch that I'm trying to reproduce in CA X7: And I cant figure out for the life of me how to close the front of the gable and have a ceiling above the porch. Any help?

Alaskan_Son Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Open that porch room and under the structure tab, make sure to check "Ceiling Over This Room". If you have auto rebuild attic walls toggled on, that should be all you need to do. If not, you'll have to go up a floor and actually build a wall manually and designate it an "Attic Wall".

Alaskan_Son Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 If you attach the plan you'll get a much more accurate answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just placed a slab and extended the roof out to meet the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 It depends on how you built it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just placed a slab and extended the roof out to meet the edge. That's the problem. Chief likes "Rooms" and it treats "Porches" as having a roof and a floor. It's time to go back and redo that area. If you close the Plan and zip it you should be able to upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or a ceiling plane and a manually built attic wall, or a polyline solid and an attic wall, or... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
