If I understand your question.. Look for this button on the Edit toolbar

What tool do you want to be in when you have "killed the current command"?

I didn't go to the link, so this is of the top of my head Draw your line Draw a straight stair snapping to each end of the line Select the stair and use Change Line/arc You can now edit the curved stair to suit

There is also a Make Arc Tangent on the edit toolbar that you may find handy.

Selecting the color in the small box and hitting Delete works for me. This works in most cases and I would need to have more of a play to see under what circumstances it doesn't work.

I think they are the "Use Interior Sill" and "Use Exterior Sill" and not the casings.

There are many settings that can be adjusted while trying to create materials list including what floors/categories to include, material list defaults, the method of selection, calculate materials in room, calculate materials in polyline, etc........then there are the settings that need to be further defined like: and: An object will be counted in the Materials List if its center point is located inside the room. Once you have all the ducks lined up it should work pretty well.

It sounds like using a reference plan may do what you want.

Just a wild guess, but...If you are still having trouble, have a play with Preferences>Appearance>Contextual Menus>

Have you had a play with Symbol Moldings?

I am not 100% sure of what you are doing. But isn't this one of those situations where you need to have a small horizontal return to join the eave and gable moldings properly. If you can't draw it, you can't build it...or the other way around.

You can also use the Import button in the Toolbar Customisation>Configuration panel to import toolbars.

X5...really?

I have done it in the past using a Terrain and then converting to a symbol Here is a very quick one
