Sorry -- sloped soffits not available in Suite.

Use an inverted wedge from the library for the side. Use a sloped soffit for the underside. Often asked question, and a search for inverted wedge should find some additional threads.

You have found the Home Designer forum. Chief Architect forum is ChiefTalk.

Or a doorway.

I think imported symbols are always set to be a fixture in Home Designer. I can try to import in Chief and set to be a door. PM me for an email.

Everything should be in the help system. Also, some of the YouTube videos go over this. Look for Advanced Roof. 1. Trusses are built between the roof and ceiling planes. 2.

Take an exterior elevation of the end wall. Select the wall. Use the break tool (3 on keyboard or icon) to break the wall polyline as needed. Use the handles to shape it. Once the first is done, copy/reflect to duplicate it on the other end.

I'm out of suggestions. I'd call Chief. I know you have an older version, but with this type of issue, they should help. Please post the fix you you get it resolved.

Right click on menu/toolbar, uncheck Tool Palette. See if Toolbars now has a full list.

Suggest opening a case with support. They are usually fast.

Check your Mouse - Orbit Camera (button on toolbar). Sometimes I need to use Center on Point.

I've not seen any reports of this. Posting an image of the problem might help, or contact Chief support.

You will be OK. The uninstall only removes the program, not your files.

If you are asking about the triangle shape above the angled soffit, use the inverted wedge shape from the library.

Those are typically called winders. You can do them manually using multiple landings. Have you checked the Knowledge Base?

Lots of previous discussion from users in the UK about this shortcoming.
