  1. 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.
  2. What trouble? What's not working?

    End of Interior Wall

    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.
  6. Often a forum search will find an answer. Here is some info on searching. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/26231-forum-search-tips/
  7. 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.

  13. Is Auto Rebuild Foundation on? (Build Foundation dialog)

  17. A couple of tips on images posted here. Generally, Vector View is best as it shows more detail, and if you you will go to the Adjust Sunlight dialog, and set Use Generic Sun and check Sun Follows Camera, then the model will be well lit at any camera position. I suspect much of the problem is with your roof planes intruding into the structure instead of butting up against the exterior walls. I've drawn a red line in the image as an example. Same for the other roof plane on the same floor -- it looks like it needs to be reshaped. If this is an existing house, pictures of it would be helpful. You can also attach the plan file (close Pro first) for others to work with. As for the things poking through the roof, the roof is too low, or the items are positioned incorrectly. Looking at your first image just above, see the far right corner, and note how the walls do not align floor to floor. It's best to clean things like this up as you go.

    GUTTER COLOR

    Are you having an issue coloring gutters? In the current versions of Pro -- don't know about 2018, you can change the materials like other objects via defaults or by painting.
  19. Lower Wall Type When Split By Butting Roof Look in Help for info.
  20. You probably need to check use defaults for the floor structure and rebuild the foundation if auto rebuild is not on.
  21. Did you manually draw a slab, or did you change the floor settings in the room dialog? And what type of room is the patio? Post a screen capture of the Structure panel for that room.
