  1. Wall Coverings are a thing in the software -- see the Wall Covering panel when you open a wall. I've not looked at the plan (pictures of the problem always help) but read about Roof Cuts Wall At Bottom, and Lower Wall Type When Split By Butting Roof.

    Polyline Solid

    You are watching Chief Architect videos and not Home Designer videos. The Home Designer site is blue themed, just like the forum. And you cannot find the tools because none of the Home Designer titles have them.
  3. Moldings, I think, do not work on sloped soffits.
  4. You need to use manual roof settings to set the pitch to 0".
  5. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/0Io56-7kWcQ?hd=1
  6. Try this one. Save it, then drag into Pro to install. Cathedral Arch.calibz
  7. Attach the plan file and I'll have a look. Close Pro first.
  8. Why is this wall different from the one on the left?
  9. What's the 4' dimension? Wall height, in from outside wall? You need to be working on a numbered floor -- whatever is above the garage. You cannot define rooms on the Attic level.
  10. What trouble? What's not working?

    You have added a 0" thick paint layer to your walls that caused this problem. Make this layer thicker, like .001, or remove it and just paint the drywall.

    Fireplaces

    I believe that option is still available, but you will need to add it to a Toolbar via Customize Toolbars.
  14. Often a forum search will find an answer. Here is some info on searching. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/26231-forum-search-tips/
  15. Clear these 2 settings on the foundation level. This will turn off auto foundation rebuild, so keep that in mind, but will fix the roof. I believe the program is confused because of your brick over brick wall definition. I'll let you know if I think of a better solution.

    wall help

    Look at your Absolute Floor elevations.
  17. Here is part 2 -- General thoughts on the roof. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/rp5pCBHswWw?hd=1
  18. Well done first post. ** David and his fast internet beats me every time ... 10 minute video takes an hour + to upload. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/otGq70x9pQg?hd=1
  19. Then open explorer and navigate to the directory. You can also rerun the install and choose the Repair option. And maybe reboot the computer.
  20. Did you select the file in the list like I show?
  21. Is Auto Rebuild Foundation on? (Build Foundation dialog)
  22. Follow this trail and see what's there. Report back. This is the Architectural 2021 trial.
