I would say you are missing out on the greatest invention since sliced bread if you’re not using plan views to your full advantage. Next step would be to get saved plan views to recognize individual room labels.

Did you save the second floor as a new plan view?

Would an attic wall work? If not, you can always draw a poly line solid...

I wonder if there’s a market for stairs with multiple stringers by chief users that I could sell stair symbols to using my other cad program?

Have you tried two 45 degree ceiling planes and one 0 degree ceiling plane?

Good work, Michael. Very efficiently done.

Can you adjust the transparency?

Would the glass house view work for you?

I make all my driveways using the road function, sidewalks also. Makes it very easy to add a stamped concrete pattern to the edge by editing the curb.

Try a short length of straight sidewalk on the left, as Eric suggested earlier, and then run your curved sidewalk up to the end of the straight.

I am curious now, aren’t all the responses to the questions here written? How do you read these responses any differently than you would reading the manual?

Good job, Rene! It's always fun to watch professionals at work.

Go to a layout you completed in the past and open each view on the layout and save each one as plan view with desired title. Then you will have all the views saved that you need to create a layout. Do all your work in your working plan view, knowing all of your other saved plan views will be showing up on your layout template.

You might be amazed by what a good heavy equipment operator can do with the terrain.

Check the full return option...

This whole segment of the industry can be summed up with... FAIL TO PLAN, PLAN TO FAIL! It's part of the job to show prospects the value in following a good plan. A good plan will pay for itself many times over in the end.

Try using terrain regions instead of terrain lines... see if that helps you.

Have you tried converting your PDF to a jpeg before dragging it onto your layout?

Why does a Harley CVO Limited cost more than a 2006 Honda Rebel 250 – $1,880? They’re both just motorcycles. Please explain.

APA has a library of cad details, also. You might want to check your local building department website too.

Once you go "Plan View" there is no going back. Can you envision a day when you can do the 3D modeling of a project and behind the scenes, and concurrently, the computer is generating your layout views automatically? I would like to see the option of connecting a plan view to a room label, also. ie., kitchen, bath, master bedroom, etc...

If accurate framing is important... then Eric (solver) gave you the answer. IMHO, I would go with the wall material region for quick and easy.
