  1. That's one way. You can also copy the sub fascia and edit its size and position.
  2. It's often helpful to have an image or 2 so we see what you see, and to know the reason -- in this case why you don't want an eave fascia. You can reduce the size of the eave fascia, but not eliminate only it as you have seen. You can turn eave and gable fascias off and manually place the gable fascia (various ways). Even Chief Premier is stuck with this dumbness ...

    Hip Roof Trusses

    Trusses build between roof and ceiling. You are free to draw them as required. Have you searched the Home Designer website? Checked the Chief Architect videos on YouTube?

    Gable Roof Issues

    An unrelated suggestion. Work to keep your dimensions cleaner. Here is a before and after. I've turned on the secondary dimension format so the changes are clear.

    And for problems like this, all we need is the plan file, not a complete backup.

    Gable Roof Issues

    With Auto Roofs, roofs build over rooms. Your stairwells, for example are specified to have no roof over them. There is at least one room on each side somewhere in the interior of the structure with a similar problem. I just set all rooms to be the same.

    Gable Roof Issues

    I would not use the dormer tools to do this. I've not looked at the plan, but give this a try and see how far you get. Make sure Auto Rebuild Roofs is on. Use Edit>Reset To Defaults to get the roof back to a base configuration. Now set walls as required to Full Gable. Once the the roof is building mostly correctly, decide how you will change the various pitches.

    Gable Roof Issues

    What's the problem -- or what's the roof supposed to look like?
  9. I'm not seeing that problem. Post your plan file for the best help. Close the software first.
  10. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/4kR-9nOhnfA?hd=1
  11. You might try saving as a DWG or DXF, whichever Pro supports, and then importing.
  12. Ceiling planes edit just like manual roof planes. They need to be continuous (connected etc) for a truss to generate correctly above them. Work on getting the ceiling planes in place and then try the trusses. If you continue to have problems, post the plan with your best effort on the ceiling -- It's a pain to try to interpret a written description on where an object like a ceiling plane needs to go.
  13. You do understand to place the ceiling planes first, then build the truss? Does your plan have correct ceiling planes defined where you want the trusses?
  14. I don't think so. You can try using a landing, or slabs/soffits/custom countertops etc.
  15. Video with sound. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/u08YCkIEG7E?hd=1
  16. Which one? What did you change? Did you watch my video? And make sure your video card driver is up to date.
  17. Give it a try. All the tools are there, it's just the program is designed for conventional construction, so you will need do do some things manually and be creative with your wall definitions.
  18. No problems here. Are reflections on for your camera?
  19. Is this a pre purchase question? Pro has manual framing tools that you can use.
  20. Align the cabinets. Should not matter, but the one on the left is a bit off. Examples?
  21. Quick followup to David's video. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/V8gtR05z3Jc?hd=1
  22. For problems like this, just poke around the settings and try a few things.
