I'm not clear on your structure, but you may need an additional floor. Floor 1 has the slab and is 0" high, and Floor 0 the foundation below. Floor 2 is the raised floor with insulation, subfloor and finish floor.

Make a suggestion -- it's the only way the developers know what features are wanted. They seem rather clueless about things like this. https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/6-suggestions/

Needs to be done manually for each window. I used one of the framed pictures (shown in the background) to make a screen.

It's not clear what the problem is. Maybe start with building a correct foundation. Then build a Terrain. Then use a Perspective Overview camera instead of a Full Camera when looking at the exterior. Plenty of resources in the links posted above. The hour long Getting Started webinars on YouTube are a good place to start. Just be aware they show using Pro, so depending on your product, you may not have all the features shown.

Move your foundation walls.

If you have the plan with a complete roof, attach it and I'll have a look.

Finish the roof and probably all that will fix itself.

You mentioned Chief Architect several times, so to be clear, this is the forum for the Home Designer products from the company Chief Architect. Both Chief Architect (the product), and Home Designer are best suited to typical residential construction -- not reproducing a log fort I know people have modeled log homes, but the logs are horizontal, and the homes are generally rectangular. If you want something that looks real, I'd look elsewhere. If you just want to show the concept and are less concerned with an accurate look, then Chief Premier would be my choice. It has the tools that would be needed, Home Designer does not.

Don't try to make this into whatever software you are accustomed to. Suggest you start with the hour long Home Designer getting started webinars on YouTube. Multiple ways to do that. What do you see when you select a wall?

Where did you source the socket? You may need to use a small Wall Niche first, then place the socket.

This forum is really about the software, not design issues, and you probably won't get much of a response. You might try houzz.com.

You must rebuild the terrain to see any changes you make to the terrain in 3D. I know of nothing that prevents you from leaving it on when doing a walk-out.

Keith gave you the typical workaround. A steep roof plane. You might also look at sloped soffits for both the structure and glass. If you have used, or care to learn SketchUp, you could build a symbol to represent the sloped wall and import just for a visual. You will still need a wall there to define a room.

Have you created a Terrain -- Terrain>Create Terrain Parameter

None of the Home Designer / Chief Architect products do sloped walls. What are you trying to do? Build a 3D model, or just develop construction drawings -- or both?

I cannot imagine not using Pro. There are so many additional tools, but you need to spend the time learning them. The problem is that unless you learn what Pro can do, you will not know how it can help. And unless you learn what Architectural is capable of, you may upgrade needlessly.

The dormer will pick up the current roof defaults if it's built after the defaults are set.

Have you tried spraying a new material on the dormer?

You can create a new image (texture) yourself, or stretch an existing one. Open a siding in the library and review the Texture settings.

Uncheck Auto Walls. Delete the wall. Check Auto Walls. If that doesn't fix it, close Suite and attach the plan file.
