Thanks, Rene. Definitely an interesting way to go about things, and worth looking into! Andrea

Thank you everyone! It never ceases to amaze me what this program is capable of doing. I'd say I'm a little overwhelmed if anything, but nonetheless excited to implement some of this new knowledge. The videos have been enlightening! tommy1, you may very well be hearing from me after I've had a go at these pointers. Thanks again! Andrea

I'm having issues keeping my electrical plan separate from my floorpan, and vice versa. When I change which layer set I'm working in it seems to affect my layout view. Page 1 of my layout is supposed to be the Electrical Plan, Page 2 is the supposed to be the floorpan (with no electrical on it), and the same order for pages 6 and 7. I've used chief for a while, but I'm new to X10- is there a change to X10 that is causing this? Help needed! Archive.zip

Ok, I'll try this method. Thank you. As you can see, I am new at posting my own dilemmas on Chief, so thank you for the letting me know how to properly use Tips and Techniques versus Q&A. -Andrea

When you say copy do you mean for me to click the "add molding" tab and add another base molding (the same molding style) to my partition? If you were to make the base molding you entered in 4" high and 0" from the bottom of the partition, to match the adjacent moldings, would it still remain the default color? Andrea

Hi Mark, I apologize for such a late response. I went into the partition's specifications and added a molding there under the molding tab. I ended up raising the molding on the bookcase partition 1/16" above the floor to offset it from the tall partition, so they wouldn't connect and render the same color. This "fixed" it, but I still would love to learn how to truly fix the issue if you have the answer. I've uploaded the file per yours and Eric's suggestion. Thank you! Andrea York_Kitchen_1.0.plan

Hi Eric, Thank you for the questions and suggestions. Yes, in Chief terms it is the "partitions" I'm having trouble with. As shown in the image, there is a white built-in bookcase under the window, and to the left is a blue cabinet with more depth. I want the decorative baseboard of the blue, tall partition to be a matching blue, and I want the decorative baseboard on the bookcase to be a matching white. In the image it shows that the white color carried onto the tall, blue partition. It is doing it automatically. If I use the material eyedropper to paint the tall partitions baseboard back to blue, then the bookcase baseboard becomes blue as well, and vice versa. What is the best approach to resolving this? Thank you, Andrea

I have two panels side by side, different depths, and they have the same decorative base molding. One panel is blue and the other is white, however, the base moldings keep rendering one color or the other. How do I render them each a different color?
