I recommend you review this video: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/4/understanding-layers.html as well as keep ALDO (Active Layer Display Options) box open while you work.

Makes it that much harder to move furniture or larger items. Add in the winder stairs and it makes it even harder. I personally don't like to do stairs narrower than 39" and prefer 42... FWIW

Haven't used this in a couple of years so may be fixed now as I dont often do it but I believe that way had an issue with custom countertops or maybe it was standard countertops.

This way… 2 sinks made into a single sink symbol.

yup

Assuming that is one cabinet with custom door panels for the sides? Was thinking the faster way would have been two stacked cabinets.

So assuming the following; 1. That you just want that page in your final documents as it is from the engineer with their title block. 2. You want to add that page to your sheet index If this is the case then you can do what I usually do with any consultants’ sheets and not import the pages at all in Chief. I will put a blank page with the engineers sheet name/number and place a single cad item on that page so the sheet will show in the index appropriately. Print the pdf set and then use any standard pdf viewer to remove the empty sheets and add the engineers sheets. It results with the full set with structural sheets included both in the location you want them as well as how you want them and you don’t get file bloat from importing a pdf into a sheet. I use this technique with structural and mechanical engineers, title 24, cal green, interior designers, spec sheets. etc.

What type of view is it? Is this PBR? Is this in layout or from the actual 3d view?

Set your default to the highest ceiling height and use manual ceiling planes set to 0 pitch slope at the proper heights where the dropped ceilings are. Just like it would be built.

Do you have a roof on it?

No. BTW if you go to tools>keyboards and hotkeys you can produce a list of the hotkeys as well as set your own for those that are available.

Can you describe more of what you are looking to do? If you are looking for plan defaults it is the wrench icon just like with PC...

Short answer is no. You can do custom door/drawer panels with this type of built in pull which has been discussed 10's of time here on the forums if you need more assistance with the integrated pull. But it looks like these cabinets actually have more of a recess there which you would have to do some custom work to pull off using the standard cabinets. It would have to be a very custom door and drawer front.

Most likely the issue is in your wall definition. You shouldn't have framing in different layers of the wall unless you are using it for a siding like B&B or are using it as rain screed.

Is it supposed to be at the top of an opening like a fixed transom window with louvers instead of glass?

The problem is in some cases the edit all area function will cause problems with the Cad work, where the reverse doesn't. It will depend on how far advanced your plans are when you switch it as to what method might be necessary. However I believe that Chief still recommends the reverse plan tool for side to side.

Is your model way off of 0? Best practices is to start your model at 0,0. Since Terrain is specific to the property then you would obviously need to adjust what you would adjust on site of terrain modifiers.

Not an issue in X15 as you can now pan about in your layout box. You will have the same issue with edit area all floors tool and other issues that will come about. Highly reccomend reverse plan tool for side to side and edit area all floors for front to back flips.

Reverse Plan tool.

As Jason mentions. Click on the extension line till you see it highlighted and usually you will see a blue square I believe it is on the end by the marker. Select and hold and place the line where you want it exactly and a tail will follow it.

That will only work to one point. This is done all the time and works. 1.) make sure the wall in the structures panel is set to default top and bottom height. Once you have manually adjusted the wall that function is turned off. 2.) under roof panel in the wall dbx set the lower wall type if cut by roof to your desired interior wall type.

Open the Wall dbx>go to roof panel and look at the bottom where it says what happens if a roof cuts the wall.

Better for the home talk forum which is specific to the Home Designer software. https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/5-qa/

Not exactly what you are looking for but may help you in modeling them in the meantime: Quick cross section and cad detail from view and cut and paste and had a functional section.
