There is a footing that supports the piers and curtain?

You will need to place piers manually. Could you post a picture showing the foundation you want to model? I'm wondering how the Curtain fits.

I'm not able to reproduce your problem, but I'm not using the same version either. Try taking an elevation of the problem wall. Select the wall and drag the bottom down as needed.

My impression of that tool is it's designed to work more like a paper sketch, rather than something to create a carefully dimensioned plan.

The Chief Architect forum is ChiefTalk.

When you are in the camera view, you must turn the Framing, Post layer. As I said above, layers are set on a per view basis, and framing is not normally shown in camera views.

.

Every view has its own set of layers. The layers displayed in plan have no relationship to the layers displayed in a camera view. They need to be on in both. If that is not the problem, post your plan file via More Reply Options, Choose File, Attach File. Make sure it's not open in Pro. As for upgrading to X8. I encourage you to download and work with the trial. You will find it to be just like Pro, but with more features and options. Also visit the Chief forum, where there are quite a few x AutoCAD users. You can do much with Pro, Premier just makes many things easier and faster.

Is your ceiling really so low in the existing house?

Roof Cuts Wall At Bottom

Glad that worked. Manual roof planes are easy once you get some practice. Pro also has, I believe, the Transform/Replicate tool which can be used to move them precisely in any direction. And Overgaard has been here for about 80 years. Between Payson and Show Low, about 4 hours east of Prescott.

Open the white roof and copy the ridge height. Open the black roof, lock the pitch, paste the copied ridge height.

Delete everything inside the house. That will get the size down. Zip the plan file and post.

It depends on the fireplace. A gas fireplace (no wood fires) might be direct vent where you don't need a chimney. You should do a bit of research on different fireplaces.

Always search the library. I believe even Suite has a few shapes.

I've often wanted to do this, but never found a way. Line Weights The weight of a line refers to its thickness on the printed page and is described in absolute terms as a fraction of a unit, often 1/100th of a millimeter or 1/1000 of an inch. Try sending to Layout.

Just rebuilding the roof on the house -- garage has No Roof checked, completely changes the roof. Don't understand how this can be, since with Architectural, you must use the programs built in roof function.

Was your plan modified in some other version -- Pro or Chief?

You don't have Layout Sets, but Layers, and Layouts. With Home Designer, you have a fixed set of Layers that may be edited, turned on and off, but not grouped. If your basic plan is fixed -- that is, you are not changing walls and other structure, you could make copies of the plan, one for electric, one for plumbing etc. Each of these would have Layers set as needed for the specific type of layout.

1) Ceiling heights are often a result of what materials the wall is built with, and how it's built. A precut stud for a 10' wall is 116-5/8". Add 3 1-1/2" plates (one bottom, 2 top) and you have a 121-1/8" wall. Finish materials reduce that height. 4) The mouse scroll wheel is often also a button. Press it to activate pan mode.

I imagine you want a dwg to dxf converter. A Google search will find some.

Depending on how fancy you want, something like these are easy to create. This shows molding added to a Custom Countertop.

Providing a link to the Fypon page will help.
