Chimney Holes in the roof and first floor

[quadman]

How can you make changes to the first floor and roof to allow a chimney to pass through starting in the basement?

View the chimney in cross section/ elevation. Then select it and hit the control tab. Now you can drag it all the way through the roof. No framing changes are necessary.

Lee,

You can build the chimney depending on how it will be built in the real world using framed or frame-brick-stone walls, You can use an extruded soffit or an extruded poly-line slab or solid (soffits and poly-line objects can pass through floors and roofs as if they were not there whereas in order to build a chimney of framed walls you would have to add a poly-line object converted to a "hole in the roof" for framed walls to poke through because Chief Architect roofs cut off walls from below by default programming, a masonry fireplace can be extruded as VHampton spoke of above. It depends on the effect you want to create or building technique you are emulating per instance.
