Yes, if you use the Child Tool Pallet.

Use curved roof planes with a negative Radius To Framing Top.
Or I think there is a bay window in the library somewhere.
-
The layout view is the layout itself, so you can't close the layout window without closing the layout itself.
If you double click in the title bar of the plan window, the plan window will maximise and hide the layout window.
You will then be able to click on the various tabs to switch between plan and layout while they are maximized.
Not really closing the layout, but the same effect.
You can also switch between windows using the Project Browser.

Mark,
I am not inclined to muck around with solids for your situation - especially after I have been made aware of the above problems.
I would stick to the Molding Polyline method.
-
I should have made it clear that when using rectangular/square moldings, you do not have to draw a molding of the correct size.
In the above example I used the 3 x 10 molding from the Handrails and Caps library for each molding.
The correct sizing is then taken care of in the Molding Polyline Specification dbx.
Instead of going back to the library for each one, just copy and edit an existing molding that you have already used.
-
I added the dbx to my posting - I shortened the height so that you could see the detail easier.
I would do the 5.5" post as a Post or Solid and then wrap the molding line round it.
You will need to play with the materials list, but I cant see why there would be too many problems.

The stairs should automatically find the upper floor and snap to the floor height.
You can do it manually by opening the stair dbx and unchecking Automatic Heights and then manually enter heights.
-
You need to move the wall/railing that defines the floor opening for the stairs.
A room polyline doest have anything to do with the floor opening unless you convert it to a Hole In Floor Platform.
You could also use Build>Floor>Hole In Floor Platform to define a floor hole if you dont want to use walls/railings.

Can you be a bit more specific.
What exactly are you having trouble with?

It looks to me like you have constructed the landing and the centre stairs from 2 landings and 2 stair flights joined in the middle?
If so, construct them from a single landing and a single flight of stairs.

Wall material adds thickness
Not necessarily so.
Keep playing, particularly with Cut Finish Layers of Parent Object.

Try Wall Material Regions?

Gene,
I have signatures turned on in Safari and they normally display.
But...if I make the Chieftalk widow very narrow, then signatures no longer display.
ie, so that the Chieftalk window is in portrait mode.
I could see that this may be connected to the landscape/portrait mode thing as mentioned above.
ie, it's the portrait/landscape mode of the Chieftalk window that is important.

Yes, I can duplicate this problem by manipulating the tool palette.
I can get out of it if I double click in the tool palette title bar.
That will change the tool palette back to being docked which then gives you access back to it.

Try Reset Side Windows in Preferences.

You need to start with a Glass Panel door.
You won't be able to do the timber panels though.

Nice work, Glenn, and thanks. Let's see you work out a solution for the surface of the bottom of such a troughed-to-drain slab, and then the perimeter edges, so we've all the surfaces of the garage slab modeled in 3D.
Gene,
I got a bit lost with your explanation.
Can you explain a bit more.
I am happy to give it a go if I can understand what you are asking for.
Ah...do you mean that instead of the bottom of the slab following the top of the slab, you would like the underside of the slab to be level - which is the way you would build it on flat formwork or level ground?

If you butt 2 rooms of the same type up against each other, Chief will not build a wall between.
