i meant angled doors as in a door with a diagonal in it. like for sloped rooms? i'm trying to put a bathroom under the stairs, but the doors are too high. Search angled doors on google or smething

[GraphicFloorPlan]

In X1 - open door dbx>General Tab>set your dims> Go to Arch Tab>Type=Dogear Arch> set Height> Options Tab: Arch on Left or Arch on Right.

Hope this helps. If nothing else, you can use a window:open window dbx>set all specs in General tab & Window Type Fixed Glass>go to Sash & Frame Tab:set Sash width "Side" to 0 to eliminate glass>Shape tab:set Left & Right height or Match Roof.

how do u make angled doors?

[GraphicFloorPlan]

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by angled doors but if you're talking about making an arched door, open the door specification dialog box and go to the "arch" tab. You have selections there for different types of arches. (Chief Architect X1).

how do you make a pergola in chief architect?

[GraphicFloorPlan]

There are a couple of ways you can accomplish this. Use cad lines and convert them to solids or you can look for ones already made in Google 3D Warehouse. You can drag and drop skp files into your Chief plan.

Hope this helps.
