Soffits, a truss, Custom Backsplash (draw against a wall in elevation, move it out from the wall in plan.

My comment above applies to someone using Pro. Suite is limited in many things and only has automatic fillers. I don't see what you are referring to in the Suite 2016 manual and I doubt this feature has been added in newer versions. You can create a cabinet that looks like a filler and use it as needed.

Are you using a symbol from Home Designer, or was it sourced somewhere else? You can always just shape something around the tub -- essentially creating your own hole.
-
Place a base cabinet size it and change the height to match the tub. Place tub in cabinet as you would a sink.

Suite is very limited and does not have pony walls. At the top of every article you will find a list of the titles it applies to. Note too, that Home Designer videos always use Pro, so you will see things that Suite cannot do.

No sound, but watch at the end where I change a roof setting. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/X0RrINl1uIY?hd=1

Rooms set as Attic have special properties -- read in Help. Set the 3rd floor attic room to Unspecified and the roof will change.

I've not looked at the plan, but try this. Open defaults and go to Floors. Set your floor 1 and 2 defaults so they are correct for the existing house. Then Edit>Reset To Defaults Choose All Floors and Floor and Ceiling heights. This should make everything consistent. Now go to each of the 2nd level rooms in the addition and change the Ceiling Below value, then the Rough Ceiling (in that order). Post back with problems.

Are you supposed to have several different floor levels? Are you supposed to have different heights?
-
You have it correct -- I was mistaken. Take a look at the Build>Floor menu. You can insert new floors, exchange floors etc. What I suggested above was to create several blank floors with defaults set, then copy/paste from floor 1 on old plan, to floor 2 on new plan. Current problem: Go to Attic level and Delete Current Floor. You will see a bunch of unneeded invisible walls. The program will rebuild the floor automatically.

Here is a suggestion that trades bathroom space for privacy. You could use a pocket door between the public and private areas too. If you wanted a larger bath, bump out the outside wall. And I noticed your roof baseline -- it should be over the outside edge of the main layer of that outside wall, not floating out in space.
-
I'm going to suggest you start over. Make what's now level 0, level 1, and so on. Start a new plan, set your floor defaults, build a new blank floor setting its defaults, then copy/paste hold position from plan to plan. Use Edit>Reset To Defaults and choose wall top and bottom heights. You have manually adjusted many of the wall top and bottom heights. When you do this, the program will no longer automatically change them. You have turned off auto rebuild deck framing, so the deck does not automatically lower. Try to work with the program instead of against it. You now know what pitch you need for the roof, so it should be set to auto build. Changing floor settings in defaults should work -- except for all the manual adjustments you have made.

Only the Chief Architect branded products have schedules. You might experiment with the Materials List.

Draw a wall in the attic. Set Roof Cuts Wall At Bottom. You may need to move the roof planes.

Always best to attach the plan file for problems like this.
-
See if this thread helps. It's from 2106, so you may be able to open the plan file. If not, you might want to download the Chief trial. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/11007-sink-partition-showing

Take a look at this plan I did for a Chief user. ChiefUserBigRob Brick on Foundation.zip

Attach your plan file -- close Suite first, and someone will look.

Are you asking about Ray Trace?
