You could put everything for the finished basement in a separate layer set or you could just create a second file for the basement only.

Glad I could help.

It's just your ceiling surface. Two lines for front and back (it's dimensional).

Make sure you close Chief before you upload the file.

No, the Chief .plan file. All I can se on your image is a ceiling surface.

I meant the plan file.

Looks like an additional ceiling surface, can you post the plan?

For your block wall, right click the symbol and select 'Transform/Replicate Object'. Once you are in the DBX, you can specify how many degrees to rotate the wall. For your slabs, you can build them from poly lines to your desired shape and then convert to a slab or solid.

Open the model in SU, right click it and then choose 'Explode'. From there, you should be able to delete the items you don't need and export what you do..

You can import the CAD into Chief and then use it as a template to draw over. Be sure to turn on object snap when you draw your walls.
There is also a feature called CAD to walls on Chief. I've never used it but this article from the knowledge base is worth a look. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00170/using-cad-to-walls-from-an-imported-dwg-dxf.html

While PNG files are generally preferred for editing (they allow for a transparent background), a JPG files are smaller which can make a difference if storing a large number of files. In either case, saving as a higher resolution (300 dpi or better) is generally required for print quality.

I supply my clients with a JPG file. Also,it's important to save at at least 300dpi to be suitable for printing.

You can use the CAD as a pattern to trace over.

I had a similar situation with some townhouse units awhile back. As I recall, it involved a lot of cut and paste. Take a look at this article from the Knowledge Base (scroll down to 'To copy and reflect a structure') https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00284/using-the-reflect-about-object-tool.html

Make sure your video card driver is up to date.

I've found that it takes some experimentation with the direction and tilt angle along with intensity of the moon. Have you toggled off the sun?
-
Have you tried working with the 'Generated Sky' controls in the 'Background' tab of the camera DBX? You can control the moonlight intensity, direction and stars.

Glass wall with Mullians/grid

In addition to Gene's excellent suggestion, you could also draw a framed wall and then install full height windows with mullions and very narrow frames.
