A bit more clarity and specificity would help us solve this for you, or a .plan file. If I m understanding you correctly, does checking the "Floor under this room" solve your issue?

@Michael_Gia No solution for you though I know the problem. Since framing is not built, nor can it be without being designated as fir framing, the material you have set is in plane with your subfloor and walls. When two materials are in plane with each other they fight to occupy the visual space depending on the camera angle. Somehow you need to force these materials into a different coordinate space to distinguish them. No idea how at first thought.

3d Elevation column needed to be adjusted as it was oversized

You're doing it right, let me login?

@RobUSMC I'd be willing as well, I have my own standards for file management. HERE'S an intro vid. Also in regards to shared libraries, see HERE

@stevenyhof best practices for posting here is to post a .plan file, we're far more effective as a group when we have access to the .plan

Two schools of thought on manually editing wall heights, I'll put one oversized check mark under the "don't manually adjust your walls" column. It causes more problems than it solves in my experience, especially when you're working through design iterations. Also, you might consider making your walkout a floor 1 and leave your stem walls on floor 0. A lot more control that way IMO

You could also just have an ipad with 10 different hotkey pages containing over 600 Tools .

It shouldn't be doing this unless you changed your default outlet to a GFCI. Check your defaults\electrical\general electrical\ and if that isn't the issue, your rooms are not designated but simply named.

Everyone, if you never @ mention or quote the OP, especially if they are new, they likely won't know to see if anyone has responded.(in my experience.) Welcome to our forums, would you mind sharing an image of your hand drawn vanity so we could better advise you?

Why would you want the sinks to be part of the style palette? Why not block the whole assembly including the wall mount faucets and mirros and add to library. Then let the style palette drive the countertop, moldings, materials, door/drawer/handles? In this way you could have the same vanity assy with different face and material options, similar to what I show here:

I made a video better explaining this process, thanks for the compliment EDIT:audio came out terrible! 200702-20.mp4

This link will expire but it's a video I made for someone going over something very similar https://1drv.ms/v/s!AkMNWqmV-cPLgbg0G39v5eXhyjIAXA?e=GuqhUa

Finally, I get to disagree with you(though only partially). I fully agree with the methodology of coaching users to use the active default tools, especially when they are all struggling to transition to SPV's, however, I have an incredibly powerful workflow for dimensioning where I switch my active dimension defaults depending on what I am planning on dimensioning, especially when I am in other user's plans that do not have defaults setup like I do. I have dimension defaults for cabinets only, windows only, walls only, CAD only, 3 inch scale, etc and it is so easy for me to switch on the fly. I wouldn't have it any other way.

When I train people in Chief, this is the FIRST thing I add to the Toolbar Configurations. No idea why this isn't a default Toolbar.

Inference shapes correspond with the type of snap they are associated with. See edit\snap setting\ to view all snap shapes

The method you happened upon has been around in other softwares for a while, and kudos to you for your natural discovery. Take it a step further by using materials instead of images. Create a symbol and apply a material with bump, normal, roughness maps and your grass will look even better, albeit taxing on your CPU.

Can you give us more information, rendering is a very broad term. Do you need color elevations done for the purpose of concept review or planning, or were you looking for 3d renderings from a perspective or orthographic view? What level of detail or realism do you require, who is the deliverable for and to serve what purpose. I could tell you that it would cost $100 or $1000 without some clarification. Appreciated.

Yes, Make a layer set with only your text layers on, then do as described and it will fix the text wrapping issue on your side

Make a Text-only layer, turn on all text for plan. Select all, open, then press ok to close all text. should fix it for your screen. Your other team members will need the same process on their end, every time.

I would never use the CAD detail folder in layout. I would put your schedules in the CAD folder under plans. Schedules you place in CAD details are live schedules. They will auto update which, conversely, will auto update in layout.

It will update, as you add additional architectural elements to your schedule, the schedule will continue to update as it should. Keep in mind you should expand the containing box in your layout in case the schedule does increase in size as chief will not automate that task for you in layout. Now that you've managed that, I would suggest splitting your vent schedule from your window schedule

Aside from us goofing around, it may be news to you that you can change selection modes in your preferences or by adding the 3 selection modes to your toolbars. Selection modes coupled with the Marquee Select Similar tool makes it so that I never need to zoom in to select what I want to. Not to mention deselection tricks, @Alaskan_Son favorite thing to talk about
