You can set that default in the Ceiling Finish Definition. In the attached screen shot, it’s using ‘storm’. Change it here to what you want for the initial material.

Here's an example of a detail with ibeam / post connections. You can find a few in the Lake Point sample plan.

These are the tips I use when creating a 3D walk through -

To push the fireplace into the wall – you can override bumping/pushing by holding the control key (PC) / command key (Mac) and sliding it in with your left mouse button.

Style Palettes can allow you to change the cabinet door types – you may need to dial in the scoping settings to limit just the door type. This Style Palettes video may help.

See if this helps in the Symbol Dialog.

There’s a video that shows a few different ways you can place the apron / farm sink depending on your design https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/1552/placing-an-apron-sink.html

The ‘lower wall type if split by butting roof’ tool you mention is available in Home Designer Pro and Chief Architect Premier/Interiors. For your work around, you might try a section view, use the backsplash tool, reshape, and paint it.

Some background and information you may already know. The Mac M1 is an integrated processor that contains the CPU & GPU. Intel has similar integrated processors like the IRIS. Typically, the integrated processors will not have the graphics performance of the machines that have both a dedicated CPU and GPU. Real-Time GPU raytracing is not supported on them (CPU raytracing is supported). In addition, Chief Architect X13 does not currently support real-time GPU raytracing on the Mac because its graphics are not at the same level of the high-end graphic cards (NVIDIA / AMD). I run Chief Architect on both the Mac & PC and seem to work equally as well, with the exception noted above: 2019 15” MacBook Pro 32GB, I9, AMD Pro 555X 2019 15” Lenovo Laptop 16GB, I7, NVIDIA 2060

Chief Architect works with both Apple & Intel.

Be sure to click on the ‘top rail’ in the dialog panel. Then you should be able to check the ‘extend’ option.

Are you looking for this setting on the ‘Rails’ panel?

In the wall type, you have a -1/2” for the foundation offset. If you change that to 0” the sheathing should build the way you want. After making the change in the wall, rebuild your foundation.

Adam, can you post your plan

You might see if this works using the grid offset. See the “X13 What’s New Productivity Video” at about 3:45

There's a newer version of this video (at the same link) you might see if it helps.

Here's an image of what I think you are asking for. Schedules can include multiple categories, e.g., cabinets and fixtures in a single schedule
