If all else fails you can select the dimension and on the Segments panel of the dbx, "Suppress Dimension Value" and enter some trailing or leading text for the dimension you want.

Or...you can do it without knowing the main layer thickness.. Select the construction line. On the edit Toolbar click on "Click On This And Then On An Object To Center The Selection On An Object". On the edit toolbar click on "Click On This And Then On Two Locations To Center This Object Between". Snap Point A to one side of the main layer and Point B to the other side of the main layer. Click on the screen to finish.

Iy looks like Chief is trying to build a hip and a valley in the same location and is getting confused. Can you put a step in the side wall?

Have you tried Retain Roof Framing?

Is the whole status bar not showing or is the length and angle missing from the status bar?

Have a look at your roof framing. I haven't got any more time at the moment to look further. But..if I delete your trusses and/or toggle off auto roof framing, all goes well without any slow down. You seem to have a lot of very small trusses (look in Cad Detail Management). This should get you looking in the correct area.

Here is a trouble shooting tip: Group select an object you know is correct and an object of the sam type that is causing problems, ie, 2 walls. Open their dbx and have a look at all the options. All the settings that are the same for the 2 objects will display either the correct value, check mark or name. Those settings that are different for the 2 objects will be either greyed out or have a horizontal check mark.

Uncheck Retain Wall Framing (Structure panel) and then build the framing. I assume you must have checked Retain Wall Framing when there was no framing in the wall.

Definitely pitch in degrees in oz, not percentage.

Works OK for me. You still need to adjust some other things like the height, etc.

What tool are you using to draw the perimeter? The Input Line tool?

Firstly, I think you need to clean up the geometry and get things accurate. Your cad guide, walls and stairs don't appear to be snapped to each other correctly. The joining of the stairs to other stairs is controlled by the Allow Rap setting. The extension of the stairs at each side is controlled by the Winders setting. But...to get the winders setting to work, the stairs have to be in a room So you need to create an invisible room. But....I can get the winders to build on one side, but not both.

I believe that Dermot is asking if any of the upper cabinets are actually base cabinets.

Create an Open Below room on the upper floor, around the stairs, with invisible walls.

I think your big problem is going to be finding someone still running version X6 - let alone on a mac. That is a very old version.

Something like this? It started out as a bifold door, converted to a symbol, rotated, etc, etc.

Do the library filters apply to the user library?

Adding to what Eric said. You can leave auto roofs toggled on (if it is building the roof correctly), and check Ignore Top (2nd) Floor in the Build Roof dbx after you have added the 2nd floor.

Probably too late now, so just a heads up for next time. It is easy to do this sort of thing with the Regular Polygon tool. There is also a similar tool for the walls.

What is it that you want differently that the auto bay window doesn't provide. Are you aware that you can access each window individually and you then have full control of the windows properties? This is an auto bay window.

It sounds like you can't see the widows when you click the tool icon? If so go here and click Reset Side Windows
