Draw in an attic wall. Select it and reshape the bottom to conform to your ceiling. Pull the ceiling planes out to the outside edge of the wall. They snap to the main layer, so there will be a small gap.

Draw in your own ceiling planes.

Rebuild the foundation -- check slab.

Could you post an image of what you see on your plan? I tried in Architectural 2018 and this is what I get. When I suggested posting the plan, I was referring to the actual plan file, not an image of the plan

Chief Architect has 2 brands -- Home Designer and Chief Architect. Your best answers will come from Chief themselves. Suggest you contact sales directly.

Here is a quick video -- no sound. Start by extend the front wall across to give you a reference for drawing the roof plane. Draw a CAD line from the ridge across to give the new roof plane something to snap to. Draw the new plane. Copy it and reflect about the CAD line. Pull the edge up.

When you manually change pitch on a roof plane, you must be aware of where it pivots. The default is baseline -- read up on baseline for more info. In your case you want to pivot at the fascia, so you would lock the fascia height first, then change the pitch. You will probably still have a problem where the lower pitch porch roof intersects the steeper roofs, and may need to change the fascia board height to get a seamless joint.

You just need to connect all the edges with the Join Roof Planes Tool. (Edit Toolbar, looks like 2 triangles). Select an edge, click the Join tool (or press 2 -- the join tool shortcut) and select the edge to join it to. You could auto build this roof by changing roof settings in the walls under the steeper roof planes.

It's always good to provide a link to the article you are referencing.

As I said over on ChiefTalk, None of the Home Designer products have this feature.

I can with Premier -- don't remember about Pro. If not, just draw in plan and pretend it's in elevation.

Isn't this the same thing -- just done in elevation instead of plan?

I don't understand what you want to do. Here I have a wall and 2 speakers. I placed a point where someone will sit and after drawing lines, found an angle.

I know this seems like a simple question that should have a simple answer, but like so many things with this software, it depends. Posting a simple plan demonstrating the problem is almost always helpful.

See this thread on ChiefTalk. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/16205-nvidia-driver-3880-and-up-possible-fix/ I'm using the latest Nvidia drivers without issue.

That's just what you do. Grab the wall with the mouse and move it, or select it and move it with dimensions, or use Transform/Replicate. That's the easiest part of what you want to do.

Image of what you want to model? Real post an beam -- mortises and tenons?

Please post images directly, no need to make a PDF of an image. Trusses are different. Forum search should provide the info. Roof>Options Boxed eave

Why don't you post on ChiefTalk in Q&A https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/ I'm guessing someone there will be able to help, and doubt anyone here will. Be sure to post an image showing the problem, and a DXF so other A CAD users can test. Also state you are a Pro 2016 user sent over from HomeTalk.

Why are you exporting as a DXF?

Try Point to Point Move, Transform/Replicate (move in X an or Y), hold the Control (or Command key on Mac) and drag the cabinet into the opening. The Attic works differently than other floors. It has no room definition. Have you looked at an elevation? With Pro, you can select both roof planes and use Transform/Replicate in the Z axis to raise or lower them. Walls below will adjust automatically up or down as needed.

Please post images directly. No need to make a PDF of an image. To fill in the hole, go to the attic level and draw in your own wall.

Right front corner. 2 small extra walls. Delete them. To the left -- note the wall misalignment, and the left side wall is reversed.

When you select a wall, look in the Edit Tool Bar. If the wall is misaligned, there will be an icon that looks like a bar with an arrow above or below. Click it to align with the floor above or floor below. Post your current plan, and screen captures showing the problems.
