Help with my roof and porch
I am new to Chief Architect and I think I have caught on pretty good. I am having a home built and I am using the app to build it on the computer before it is built this August.
I will use it to plan for new furniture and later for remodeling my unfinished basement.
I cannot get the roof nor the porch right. Is anyone up for the challenge?
To make the plan small enough I removed everything except the floors' outer shell that is needed for the roof, a picture of the elevation for the roof and the dimensions for the porch. The back of the house has a gable on the top where the master bath sticks out from the house.
So the house has five gables total (or is it six to allow for the separation at the top of the roof?)
Also, why is there a gap at the bottom of the house (filled with cement) and a gap between the 1st and 2nd floors?
I am using Chief Architect Premier X6.

Thanks, Jintu! Your plan was missing the gable on the rear, but that was a quick fix.
It is also missing the roof portion over the double window on the right of the house.
Do these have to manually drawn?
I do have X6 Larry.
I just added the 8" wide columns platforms on the porch, but how do I get 11" wide platform at the base of the 8" square columns.
