You need to provide more information. Pictures, plan files, your program information is all helpful. Most users will just keep scrolling past so please see this comment as the help it is intended to be to help you get the information you need.

If you are stuck on using the same plan file then create a new blank floor on the plan and manually draw in the part you want using the align with walls below to make sure your walls are planar.

Separate files for each building.

As Robert says the framing profiles are hard coded so if it is something you need please make a concise suggestion with the reasoning of why it would help your workflow. In the meantime you can make the wall with an invisible framing layer and then do a room molding polyline with the framing members as a vertical molding. Or manually place symbols. All that being said. Is this something you need to show in 3d or can a cad detail suffice?

Not a problem. Create your door in chief or whatever modeling program you want to use. But if you try to bring in a DWG 3d file it needs to have the textures separated prior to bringing into chief. I was just pointing out that the door you are working so hard is in fact in the chief catalog already so you are going through alot of work for nothing.

When you import door items like that they need to have different textures for each item otherwise it will be imported as the same material and will only change completely. However this is a very basic to build cabinet in Chief. Check out this one and see if its what you need. It is a full cabinet so it can still be customized more. Wall Cabinet for Sandor09.calibz

When you manually adjust walls which 99.5% of the time is not necessary and is highly discouraged to do, it will turn off the parametric features of the wall because it thinks you dont want the program to change what you did. So at some point you grabbed that wall and dragged it up.

Currently the only option is to have multiple copies of the layout box and cropped and adjusted.

change the swing of the door to exterior swing and will be flush with exterior.

Do they make a 7" thick glass block IRL?

From experience with clients who like to place cabinets holding down the ctrl or cmd button, 99% of the time the cabinets are not precisely joining. Its hard to tell if its the quality of the screen gram but it looks like the upper cabinet was forced placed and is just very slightly pushed into the wall if the line at the front is indicative of its location. Use the bumping arrows to move away from the wall and the adjoining cabinet then bump it back into place and see if that is what is up. Otherwise post the plan.

As mentioned nothing can be done. No backwards compatibility.

Textures are used in Standard type views such as standard, PBR, RT, etc. Patterns are used in Vector type views such as Vector, Line overlay options, etc. Unless that is an actual texture that you can do a conversion from texture to a pattern in the material dbx then you will need to find or create this pattern and apply it to that material.

Do you have the library on your local hard drive or in a cloud storage location?

This is the type of issue that you should post a screen grab of your library panel so we can see what you see.

Literally what reference display does...

Maybe check out @Renerabbitt's pro template. Has all of this already built in with macros and FAR/Area caculations schedules.

Do a search for that question in this forum (been asked and answered hundreds of times. And additionally you can search the help file, specifically for "reference layer display".

I actually disagree with this statement. That will cut the wall to the profile of the terrain. I would personally do it how they would build it IRL and manually cut the top edge and step it down where needed.

Place a terrain break line in the middle of that wall and elevation lines on each side, then shape it manually in a cross section view as you want.

Looking at that I would probably use full walls and place doorways in those spaces that look like doorways. Base trim should be automatic as well.

I personally would do them in separate plan files.

Use soffits for the beams and set as sloped to follow ceilings.

Use a roof plane.

Pretty sure Apple also states that it only supports one external monitor for the M1 Max or regular M1 chip. The m1 ultra on the studio and newer laptops can do multiples.
