  1. I don't know how to do the roof in Suite. Looks like you are skilled in SketchUp, so consider making a symbol of the glass and side walls, then importing into Suite.

    CUSTOM FIREPLACE

    Slabs, soffits, cabinets, walls with a doorway or pass through. Lots of tools, just need to use them sometimes not how they are intended. There may be some in the library and bonus catalogs too.
  3. There are many areas where this is not required. I've been building for 30+ years in 3 states and have not once needed or been required to have a foundation engineered.
  4. Are you using Chief, or Home Designer?
  5. Have you tried drawing a slab, or turning off foundation for the room? Post pictures, your plan file etc for more than guesses.
  6. It may be as simple as a copy/paste operation. Research Edit Area. Also Paste/Hold Position.
  7. You could create a terrain only in a plan, make copies of the plan and add different houses to each.
  8. Suite is rather limited in many areas. The simple method is to choose the material from the library and paint it on. You can do 1 wall, all walls on a floor, or the entire plan.
  9. Like any other wall. Select it in plan or in 3D. You might post pictures (screen captures) and or your plan file (close Pro first). If you cannot simply select it, then there is something else happening.
  10. The gable portion is a separate wall and will need to be changed.
  11. No, at least there is no one click way.
  12. The Drawing Group tool is in the Edit Toolbar when an object is selected. See Architectural Blocks.
  13. Does the line just below (Thinset Mortar) give you the same figure?
  14. You will need to contact Chief to learn about their support options.
  15. It looks like you are drawing walls inside the exterior walls -- just butt them against.
  16. See how the room is defined, and how yours is different? The wall type does not matter -- just that you define a room.
  17. Roofs build over rooms. Create a room -- like maybe a porch, make sure Roof Over This Room is checked, and you will get a roof.
  18. If you are asking about windows and doors, click on the interior side (or exterior) to get dimensions to show on that side.
  19. All boxed works but all flush does not -- there is one that remains boxed. Just what I see on many plans.
  20. Not hardly. I'll take a look at the roof problem, but will say the flush eaves thing is buggy. I almost never have a plan where they work correctly.
  21. I forget the limitations of Pro ... Select the railing and delete the Opening No Material layer. Set the width of the main layer to the width of the railing. Set the wall to No Room Definition. Draw a Room Divider wall across to define the edge of the hall. This should give you the look you are after. You can move the railing around as it's no longer defining the room.
