    Widow's Walk

    My remark about the shallow pool -- You are creating a shallow pool on top of the house. Where will the water go? You will also have an access from below at the bottom of the pool. Attach the plan file -- close Pro first.

    Roof Anomaly

    You could not open them. This auto built so you can do it.

    Roof Anomaly

    Exactly Manual roofs using Chief Premier. Not sure how you could get Architectural to do it.
  4. This is what I was suggesting. Doesn't this show the layer? I imported the above image into Pro 2020.

    Roof Anomaly

    What would you like it to look like? And what about the missing roof?

    MULTIPLE SHED ROOFS

    You will need to break some walls. Makes no difference. -------- Here is what happens. Note the incomplete roof overhangs. Walls could be easily drawn in.

    MULTIPLE SHED ROOFS

    Roofs build over rooms. Getting the basic form is easy -- getting the roof correct will be far more difficult. You really need the manual roof tools in Pro to do this type of roof.

    MULTIPLE SHED ROOFS

    Have you tried? I know of no tutorial.
  16. You need to be here: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/ This forum is for Home Designer
  17. No Maybe you should use an imperial template and use metric secondary dimensions.
  18. Selecting Walls Like other objects, walls can be selected in a variety of ways. See Selecting Objects. • In plan view, if wall hatching has been applied to a wall using the Hatch Wall tool, the hatching may be selected first. Click Select Next Object to select the wall itself. See Hatch Wall. • When Select Room Before Wall in 3D is checked in the Preferences dialog and you click on a wall in a cross section/elevation or camera view, the room defined by that side of the wall will become selected instead of the wall. See Appearance Panel and Selecting Rooms.

  20. There are a couple of good roof videos -- search for advanced roof. Manual roofs take practice. When I started I probably drew 100 test plans with different configurations and roofs. Understanding auto roofs is also helpful. I'll almost always start with auto working in a Perspective Full Overview so I see the changes immediately. Then switch to manual if needed. I have some roof videos on my YouTube channel too. David Potter has a bunch also.
  21. Auto Rebuild Roofs needs to be on for the roof to respond to structure changes. For manual roofs, select it and raise it the needed amount.
  22. That's really stemwalls with footings and a slab floor instead of a wood structure. Use a Pony Wall for the stem wall. Try adding the insulation to the top part of the Pony Wall and add the insulation to the floor definition. Check Hang 1st Floor Platform Inside Foundation Walls.
