Take a cross section and use the dimension tools to understand what the program is doing. And I'm curious -- where is "the south"? While I understand the type of foundation you are working with, I've never known of it being used, or seen any questions related to it.

Not sure what you are asking.

Make the exterior walls different. Maybe they are already 2x6 and your interior walls are 2x4? Or change them to Room Divider walls.

Doors are on the front of the cabinet. Turn the cabinet. You need to use a 2nd cabinet in some cases, or use a door from the library and place manually.

Raising the ceiling, much like adding roof directives in walls (pitch, full gable etc) only works when auto building roofs. Select the roof planes you want to change, use Transform/Replicate to move in the Z axis.

You are drawing it wrong. Think about how you drew it and the result. What do you need to change to make the slope run in the correct direction? Not giving you a hard time -- just encouraging you to see for yourself what needs to be done.

None of those settings matter when you are using manual roofs. Redraw the roof to reflect what you want.

No Home Designer/Chief Architect product will do that type of stem wall/slab foundation automatically (so the detail is correct). You are able to do this. Not obvious but I used a 8" CMU wall and a 4" slab. You will need to create a detail like you show above.

By "opposite" I'm guessing 90 degrees to what is shown. Use the Adjust Material Definition tool.

Vector View is normally used for elevations. You can turn the color off and probably make other changes too.

No

Yes. Open it and change the wall type. You may need to define a new wall type.

Why a Technical Illustration? You said technical elevation -- guessing you intended technical illustration.

What options does your Print dialog offer?

Use a wall to get the roof to build correctly, work on the floor last. You can always do it manually, or automatically after turning off auto rebuild roofs.

If you attach your plan file (close Pro first) when asking questions like this, others will have something to work with -- maybe make a video etc. I'd suggest you copy/paste in place the two roof planes left of the door. While selected, center them on the door, then use Transform/Replicate to raise them and move them back over the door. Reshape/connect the existing roof planes.

Keep in mind that you can easily build simple cabinets like this from parts -- partitions, shelves, custom countertops, slabs etc. This is a Custom Countertop with a molding for the sides.

When you get the cabinet made, save it in the Library Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/7-h7ahl_jPc?hd=1

Go to Front, not Materials.

Videos on manual roofs on the Chief Website, and YouTube channel. I have a roofs playlist on my YouTube channel (link in my sig), David Potter has many videos on his channel. Roof planes may be copied/pasted/moved around like any other object. Roofs build over rooms, so you could, for example, only build roofs for the entry, copy them, auto build, then paste/hold position the copied roof planes. Make changes to integrate them into the existing roof structure. Read about Roof Groups too.
