  1. All I did was rebuild the foundation and the missing porch slab showed up. You probably need to use manual roof planes for the gable roof over the porch.
  2. Please use a screen capture tool instead of a camera. Windows has the Snipping Tool. Mac systems should have something similar. Rebuild your foundation and suggest you leave auto rebuild on.
  3. Looks like a bug, but I don't use this feature. You can place it manually, or if not using curtains, place as a curtain.
  4. Start a new plan, draw 4 walls to form a room. Copy the problem window to the new plan. If the problem is still there, post the new plan.
  5. That can't happen, but you can have 2 walls in the same space, like a first floor wall and an attic wall.
  6. Copy your railing wall to the left and mark it No Room Def. Change the porch wall to invisible, then move the railing wall back. YMMV
  7. It looks like you will need to use invisible walls like you did on the other part of the structure. Or upgrade to Chief ...
  8. Could you post a screen capture showing the problem? I'm not familiar with that version.
  9. Locked how? What can't you do?
  10. Use a Custom Backsplash instead of a Wall Covering. Read about Textures and Patterns and how they differ. Have you checked the Knowledge Base for articles? Knowledge Base
  11. My mistake -- Pro only. I thought Architectural had this too.
  12. You can use the auto tools to get the shape as you like, then trace the outside main layer with a CAD line. Delete the auto generated walls and using the wall type of your choice trace over the CAD lines. Walls easily snap to and follow CAD. Windows can only get so wide -- they will hit on the inside. Look under Window Defaults and make sure Minimum Separation is set to 0.
  13. For the best control these objects need to be drawn manually. You can open the auto generated ones and make adjustments. Open the Materials panel and change the Exterior, for example.
  14. To be clear, I was referring to the floor plan, not how the software was used.
  15. I'll suggest rethinking what you have designed, and starting over. There are too many problems to list. Have you considered hiring someone -- a talented designer or Architect? If you choose to keep this plan, suggest you work your way around moving walls and other objects so that dimensions are either full inches, or 1/2" as a minimum. No 3/8 or 7/16 etc. And if you are planning a room over the garage, it needs to be shown in the plans.
  16. This is what is included in the living area. The area contained matches the living area label.
  17. Could you post a screen capture so we see what you see? What do you want to see?
  18. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/XX4VSfwUVVQ?hd=1
  19. I try to use the auto roof builder first, getting as close as I can, then switch to manual. Think first about the basic shape of the roof, then add in the extras, like the small gables on this roof. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/Qd8RVa8haaw?hd=1
  20. Do you only care about the front? Do you know the roof pitch? Could you post the plan file?
  21. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/3P5DqaS7_FQ?hd=1
  22. Check the library for brackets or corbels. You can also use a Custom Backsplash -- far easier than soffits. Search my YouTube channel for a video (link in my sig).
  23. Open a window specification dialog and poke around a bit.
