Its really easy to replicate. In HD pro 2025. Draw an external wall or room, any wall doesn’t matter. Increase the wall depth to about 400mm from center. Place a window, with external casing. (70mm) recess the window frame by about 150mm choose any default 2025 sill/shape profile and recess it. Bam z-fighting.

Unfortunately, I don’t think you can, unless you previously purchased it. The HD pro range is no longer available.

@Renerabbitt here, sort this this out.

Cancel your 2026 subscription and revert to HD Pro 2024. There is no HD Pro 2026. They combined all their products into one inferior, subscription-based bundle and marketed it as “The best that’s ever been seen, the world has never seen the likes before, never has it been better”

@RenerabbittYou're out of your mind if you think this 2026 release is worth more than bog roll. Chief Architect has actually REMOVED several functions and controls from HD Pro 2025. Since you’re so affiliated with Chief Architect, maybe you could look into all my technical questions I’ve logged that cant be resolved?

Have you fixed the window sill Z-fighting yet? As per my technical support complaint? No point offering ray-traying if it still ray-traces wrong?

Chiefs terrain elevation controls are stupid. Extend the elevation lines all the way to the end of the terrain and then add another duplicate elevation line at the back of the house to flatten it out.

The Gable Porch entrance extends further forward than the other other exterior walls. "Flat angled roof" is a pefectly acceptable description, and any experienced architect would know exactly what you mean and how to incorporate it. Unfortunately, the easiest is to manually build those roofs, because its probably beyond HD Pro's capabability to autobuild, but even if you purchased premier, you'd still have to manually build it.

Select the front GF wall, change it to a hip wall. select the left side bearing wall and change it to a high shed wall. Tell first floor to ignore roof (or in chiefs case, 2nd floor.) The back wall roof pitch will determine the roof and attic walls for the 4 horizontal windows, but my bet is that you'll have to build this manually, its beyond HD Pro. Its even beyond Premier. Its a manual build.

Im aware I can remove the details tab. Im talking about the filters tab, where it no longer shows the sub-folders but everything in the entire volume instead of the folders! I did say what additional controls I was epecting. Read my original again. I was expecting explicit control over the window sills (as attached). Why does the window sill still Z-fight with the wall? If you even bothered to try this with a default plan you'd know what Im talking about. In Pro 2025, build an exterior wall (any wall) Increase that wall to a 350mm depth from center. place a window with casing. Recess a 50mm depth window frame, 100mm from the exterior wall, then recess the window sill. change the casing colour. oh look. Z-fighting! Im ranting because Id expect you and any other Pro User to know this and Ive been on about this for years! The gutter moulding problem according to Chief technical, is that I found a way to manipulate the software in a way that wasn't intented. If it wasnt intended, why have the option? Home designer suite did it no problem, so did Pro right up until 2023? So Chief removed the softwares ability to apply moulding to a gutter, but forgot to remove the ability to do do? Right.

Gutter Moulding. I was told by Chief Technical that there was no way for me to fix the problem, because the software shouldnt have been able to do it in the first place. Wow.

This is rediculous. Ive just upgraded to HD Pro 2025, ONLY, because it said "Sill and threshhold control for openings". "explicit control of doors,windows, and openings" Turns out there is no additional contol in 2025 from 2023 in this regard. 5 years on... the window sill still Z-Fights when its recessed. Regardless, I will logde another technical complaint regarding the window sills, and they will reply that because I dont I have PremierX14, that is apparently incompatible and blah blah blah. Why procliaim to have the fuctionanitly in PRO then? 2016 : Chief: cannot recces doors into a specified wall 2025 : Chief can only recess the door panel 2016 Chief cant do window sills 2025: Chief still cant do window sills. still Z fighting. 2019 Apply gutter moulding, move the wall, cheif tells you none of their products had it. WOW! And seriously? Who's stupid idea was it to remove the library preview for all materials, only the selected material is displayed! Do you have any idea how much longer this will take to find materials? And its replaced with the stupid "details" tab ffs!!

Yes I do realize that, and do you know what else, it doesn't work when your walls are 350mm plus thick, it leaves feckin holes everywhere that you have to fill with soffits and wedges and soffits and more soffits and celings and more soffits only to realize you cant use soffits because they don't span ceilings and walls and then have to change to shapes which keep snapping by default to the to the terrain!

In two fecking years nothing has changed. The software still does not use my GPU, yet it takes me 45seconds to make a change in PRB

I understand that , but unfortunately chief sucks at both. It sucks at dpi export as well as ppi.
