1.) Please start a new post with more details of what you are having a hard time with. 2.) All Caps is generally considered yelling and is most likely going to get your post passed by. 3.) Notes are extremely powerful and the general consensus of best practices is to copy your notes from elevation to elevation but place your single Note Schedule in a cad detail and send it to layout as needed on each elevation page.

For exterior stairs I don't show a breakline generally so that is why I use a reference display. But Glen's method of using an open below room works really well in most cases if you need to show that breakline or not.)

Yeah haven't had time to mess with it either but it does seem odd, since the option is there to align the upper wall to the lower wall interior or center it should stop it. Was curious what would happen if you put a minimal wall cap there.

Wouldn’t making a ledge be also making an infiltration, and maintenance requiring joint all along that wall? I would think it would be better to pull your sheathing out to outside of the CMU and having a nice rain screed to the outside of the cmu surface.

Not at my computer to test it but I think it had something to do with the level the room was on.

Other option is to have a lattice layer if you are going to put it on the underside of the deck anyways.

Place a wall on the level below the deck. Use a single layer wall type with the “opening no material” material.

Needs a wall to build up to on the sides.

Can you pull your outside walls temporarily away from the divider walls and set that exterior room at the higher ceiling height and all the inner stuff at the lower height with shelf ceiling selected and 0 ceiling definition, then pull the exterior walls back to the proper position?

You can set an infinite amounts of reference displays. Look closer at the dbx and set your reference display to what you want to see.

Can't explain it any better than a quality video! Thanks @scottharris

Read the help file on reference display and what you can use it for. Here is a good video to help as well. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/5435/using-the-reference-display.html

On my phone so cannot open your file but my guess is that the foundation walls are not aligned with the walls above them.

Never smaller than 28" unless a closet or pantry.

Trying a version of this advice as I started seeing the issue again after the latest x13 release (sent in to tech support but they have not been able to duplicate the issue yet.) It was doing great from last release of x12 when they figured out the issue all through beta, public beta and public release until this last release seemed to have broken it. I was absolutely swamped so just pulled my ALDO, PB, & LB onto the main screen again and kept on. I had learned my lesson enough so I always keep a copy of my toolbars set so that I can fix them. Anyways with this all in mind, I am trying a version of all of these suggestions; -I still have a Default, Kitchen & Bath, MEP, & Terrain bar -They are all identical except the last bar has a section that is dedicated to that specialty with customized place library for MEP & K&B configurations but with plenty of room to the right -Setup empty space at the end of each toolbar section and subsections with plenty of room. With mac this issue has always been when having the ALDO, PB, & LB open on a second screen when the screen size and resolution is different. So I made a copy of this as well as my old toolbars for easy fixing if this doesn't work, but have been working for a few hours again with my secondary items on the second screen. I will continue to test to see if one of these items may be the key to this issue.

Is it the same plan every time? Did you place a symbol or break the library by chance?

Best to start a new post because 99% of the times the issue is something different. It is also impossible for us to make any guesses unless bare minimum you put a screenshot of the issue and even better the .plan file (make sure chief is closed out first).

Add one more layer of protection if you want that look is give it say a 10% transparency very clean looking but you can double check the polyline with one glance.

This is what @joey_martinis saying. You are adding a chance for human error by doing it that way instead of just using a saved plan view with the live model… As a side note if everyone hates to see the double wall lines and interiors use the make living area poly line and set it to background color so all you will see is the outline of the walls. Still an extra step in my opinion but way faster than making a cad detail and transferring back.

It goes in order of placement in the plan so it renumbers it. It literally can be renumbered in 30 seconds so is not very hard or time consuming to do.

You can manually renumber it back to how you had it before. Two methods: 1.) On the schedule view you can select that door and you will see a small radio button show on the label column. Grab that and slide it to the right location 2.) On the Plan view when you select a door you will have an Up and Down arrow show up in your edit toolbar. You can then move each door to the proper numbering. I personally renumber everything in a clockwise direction around starting at basement level and going up so that each floor is grouped together as well yet uses one schedule.

Just like Joey's mine shows both lines. You can change your wall definition to make one of those lines blank but I think the double line looks just fine.

Saved Plan view for site plans which shows a dashed roof plan, walls w/o layers, doors, stairs, slabs/decks.

This was specific to X11 and has been fixed.

There is also a Garden window in one of the catalogs.
