I think there's a bonus catalog (specialty doors) that may have cafe doors

I use a solid color for existing walls, then use some of the geometric shapes, etc. for other wall type fill. You can use whatever color you want, yet obviously dark ones print best. It helps when labeling the wall types on the drawing so you know what types are where. I don't know if Chief will let you adjust the size and angle of the shapes, yet that helps to in separating them.

Change the label to specify label > %width%x%height" and that will display it in inches with the " symbol too

Likely the openings are not drawn on the even 1/2" increment, so when they add them to make the full dimension of the wall they're in, it's throwing it off. I don't open plans to view, as an image is often better to view without opening up the computer to potential virus', etc. Nothing personal

It's like trying to make 2 independent functions become one. It won't remember your interior walls when trying to rebuild the foundation. Depending on how many walls are involved, could you possibly copy what you want to save, then rebuild the foundation, and "paste-hold position" the interior walls back?

Exactly. Manually drawn walls are not part of the foundation. To me, it's a request that isn't attainable.

Do you have the rough opening set to "show in room below"?

My guess is because the interior walls are not part of a foundation, when rebuilding foundation the interior walls are not recognized, and therefore disappear. Aligning the foundation to exterior wall changes is not that difficult a process

What does that have to do with interior walls in the basement? I do wish everything you drew in the basement wouldn't disappear if you do rebuild the foundation. Guess we're stuck with manually drawing changed foundation walls. Or just align them.

The foundation is automatically drawn based on the house exterior walls above. Once it's drawn from that, what would auto foundation need to do differently? The interior walls you want would have nothing to do with the exterior walls

If you have the floor plan, then count the stair treads going down from the main floor to the garage floor, and add 1 riser. Pick a riser height that makes sense, then drop the garage floor from the main floor that amount. Then set your garage ceiling height from there. Or ask your clients if they can measure it for you.

The Therma-Tru catalog is lacking a lot of the current styles and options. The Smooth Star line would be a great addition. Apparently us users are supposed to make the plea to Therma-Tru to update their offerings. It's too bad it's not kept up with, being the most popular door brand in the US.

Maybe try as a panel with cable railings and make the cables thick? Don't know if it will follow the curve, as I didn't try it.

Maybe make that entrance a room with all room dividers, then uncheck "ceiling above?"

Create them and put them in your user library

Home Designer has its own forum for Home Designer users. This is the Chief Architect user forum, so help may be limited here. https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/

I suppose you could even use horizontal cylinders and make the material "light" too

Just drag the border lines closer to the edge of the paper. Then marquee around the title block and slide it to the right. Very simple

The landing and stair run are likely not connected properly. Check the height of the landing and top of stair run dimensions

Read the terrain menu again. The setting is for distance from subfloor. A negative prefix will move terrain above the subfloor. Eliminate the "-" and that should get you started

Looks to me like it's an issue with the size of the text box you want to fit it in. On your image on the left, look at the space between the 2407 and the right edge. Then on the right image, it's a larger distance and it fits. Sometime just need to drag the text box a little to make it go away.

You might want to think twice about posting a clients address on a public forum like this for a multitude of reasons

Sometimes a beefed up kitchen valance will work in those situations. If the interior of the porch has a different material, transform/replicate the shape on the "-Z" axis a small amount to separate it, then adjust the material and depth of the object so it matches the shape, yet the stone will be as deep as you need it to be
