I deleted the extra planking. New Deck Plan - Clean (eric).zip

Rooms are defined by walls. Need a room definition for floors, ceilings etc. Use a room divider or other wall to extend the railing wall across the gap. Have you reviewed Park Model homes? They are 400 sq ft, well designed and very livable.

Thanks. We also need you version info -- 2015, 2017 etc. It's important to those working with your plan file.

Good use of the backsplash tool. It's far more useful for things like this than most realize. Never seen Chief use it in a video except as a backsplash.

1) Please fill out your Signature -- see below. 2) Your 2nd floor should look like this. Raise the ceiling height in the center room to whatever it is, and make the rooms to each side 1-1/2" ceiling height. You should use a brick wall where your house has brick walls, and not a siding wall with brick painted on. Use a room divider wall to partition the fireplace bumpout into its own room, and turn off the roof -- one problem at a time. Uncheck Ignore 2nd floor. Build the roof, see how it looks. Once the roof is correct, you will not rebuild it, and will be able to change interior walls as needed. -------------- It helps if we know what title (Suite, Pro etc) and version (2014, 2015 etc) you are using. You can add this info to your signature by clicking on your user name at the top right of the page, click Account Settings, then Signature on the left. Doing so makes it always available, and this info is often key to providing a good suggestion Resources for self help: The built in Help System (always a good place to start) Getting Started Knowledge Base YouTube

It does look like you need to place a base cabinet, then choose a dishwasher and click on the cabinet to place it. I have one saved in my library already in a cabinet, and just select it instead of placing a cabinet, then a dishwasher. Give that a try -- placing a cabinet (any base cabinet), then just click on it after selecting your dishwasher in plan.

This is from Chief Premier. If you don't see this, then Pro lacks the option. You can always create one manually.

Configure 1 window to match the Anderson. Add it to your library. Use it when you want an Anderson window. Resize as needed.

You need to contact sales at Chief (Home Designer) for a definitive answer, but I believe the latest versions no longer open .PL1 files.

Did you get that workshop built Charles? Do you have a picture of what you want to model? How to depends on the details.

Very easy to do this manually. My suggestion to investigate gambrel roofs still stands. I don't understand this. Is the red on a new roof?

Joe, you need to post on the Chief Architect forum in Seeking Services. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/15-seeking-services/

Why not? They should have the same accuracy as any of the other dimension tools. About the only time I use a manual dimension is when a temporary dimension to some object is not available.

Did you try the temporary dimensions, and did they work for you?

How about the plan. The green is just the color I've set for selected objects. All that does is force the software to turn the corner with the molding. L STAIRS (eric).plan

I figured it was an old house from the layout, but moving those stairs sure would make a difference Does turning off the stair fill do what you want?

Turn off the fill in the stair and landing, or show them 3D views instead of plan view. Isn't that why we use this program? Also, why not add 2 risers to the bottom section of stairs and open up the hall?

Custom countertop Uncheck Stretch to Fit on the texture to apply to the molding.

There are no stairs, or bath in this plan.

Pictures?

You are correct. Never really used X7, so wasn't changed in my defaults. X7 - Suite Test.plan

See post #2 for a plan. You would need a 2018 version to use it. Here is one done in Premier X7 that should work for you. X7 - Suite Test.plan

You will need to post the plan file -- just as you do an image. Make sure it's not open in Pro.

Consider using a Custom Countertop. Make it 1/16" thick and add a molding for the nosing.
