The windows would be deep sills 6-6.5" due to the c-purlins and molding. The metal building might be higher than the finished height of the 2nd floor, and I'd just finish the rafters flat for storage on top if needed. I want to do a two story inside, with 2 bedrooms/1full bath up stairs, with dormers and windows on the end wall. You could do a "flat roof" and just deck the rafters, or leave it open and blow in insulation. You would only need to build out the dormers and such to meet the roof, and then finish those out on the metal building.įor rendering, I'd render the entire house, without the metal building. There would be no shingles, but you would want insulation, so it would be easiest to just wall off the sections up to the beams, or even put decking on (but not needed). The House would have a "roof" on that would match the underside of the I-Beam inside the building based on measurements. Say you need Dormers in a second floor windows. There are a few things that you would build out as needed. One with the house and one with the barn. I WOULD NOT build these two structures together. Ok, so back to building in Chief Architect. Fill with insulation (6" thick is at lot of insulation) for a house. I only mention this because this could be done to create a false wall inside the c-purlin for building the "house" walls.

This was to create a flush wall in front of the c-purlins to give a flat back for tool boxes and work benches. Same at top predrilled the c-purlin and ran one drywall screw to hold in place. Then we pre drilled and counter sunk self tapping metal screws to just hold the 2x4 in place. At the bottom/sill we welded angle iron in to give the bottom of the 2x4 a foot. We turned the 2x4 on their face, so you have a 3.5" wide target behind the wall board, since we dont need it for any real structure outside of holding up the wall board. In reality, we took a skill saw and just cut a groove in the top of the 2x4 so it would fit flush with the face of the Purlin. We have also finished a few areas of the building stubbed out with partial board for flush walls to put work benches against and the such. This gives a 6" deep wall and the remainder of the window sill is just exposed C-Purlin. The way I have seen barndominium's built is to mount the windows in to the C-Purlin.

I have been using CA for the last 6 months and have done numerous remodels, additions, and full house builds. I have been a part of 2 building builds a few years ago well before I started using CA (Chief Architect). Sorry I am late to the party, but I thought I'd add a little to the conversation as I have been considering doing just this. In designing the build, I would like to be able to account for this space for obvious reasons. So, there is no OSB, Tyvek house wrap or exterior siding / stone / brick, etc. This void will be filled with additional insulation (in addition to the insulation between the exterior wall studs).

The exterior walls will be framed inside the steel wall girts, which will leave approximately 6" between the outside of the 2"x4" framing and the steel skin of the building. Based on experience and some research, I believe it is best not to attach what would normally be the exterior framed walls of the house to the steel building itself, only the slab. The living area will then be framed within the steel building. In a nutshell, the steel building will be erected on a slab foundation.
MATCHING PEAK HEIGHT ON CHIEF ARCHITECT X9 HOW TO
I am hoping some of the Pros on here can offer some sage advice on how to best proceed. That led me to this forum, assuming someone else surely had this problem before I did, but after searching the forum, I found very few posts on the topic (if they are out there and someone can point me in the right direction, please do so!). It is primarily the exterior walls, doors and window openings, etc that will be different and I couldn't seem to find default settings specific to that type of building.
MATCHING PEAK HEIGHT ON CHIEF ARCHITECT X9 SOFTWARE
The interior framing and finish will be no different than a traditionally built home and the software will work great for that. Of course I did not find anything specifically to steel buildings. I installed the software, read through the tutorials and began to set the default settings. I purchased the software to design a barndominium - essentially a commercially produced, pre-engineered steel building, likely about 60' x 40', of which I will build and finish a living area within a portion of the steel structure. I am new to the Chief Architect software and this community, but have already found it to be a great resource.
