I will ask the obvious question as we don’t know anything more than what you stated here. Is the ceiling plane layer on IN THE CAMERA VIEW layer set you are using? What view are you using? screenshots, plan files, and descriptions of how you are taking the 3D room perspective view (ie a saved camera, which camera tool, etc.) would help diagnose the problem.

Curious. Why not use a ceiling plane?

Mull two doors together and you get this look. Track is not perfect as the one is offset from the other but relatively close especially if you have furniture and other items in the room.

If the material doesn't have a check mark next to it then you can purge the unused ones out of the list as well.

I do see this as a need for a suggestion for a double stacked unit. It is available in sliders to choose which side you want the two panels and the system can already add a second door for the barn door type... Maybe a quick programming add???

If you reset it to the entire room and select the room there is an option to create a molding polyline in the room (edit bar at bottom oob). When you select that it gives you the option to select only certain moldings to set on that polyline. You can then select a segment of that polyline and in the edit bar there is the option to turn it off that section of the wall (you can also break that section and only remove a portion of it.

Those are two very good suggestions. I believe that Melissa Nunes (not sure what her CT handle is) is also in that area as well as Alan Lehman @Gawdzira

BTW you are probably not seeing it in 3d because it is probably now on the architectural block layer which is oob turned off in camera views.

Wall Elevation>Molding Line

I think this was an old technique to accomplish what you are trying to do. What will work for you is to select the lower walls and in the structure panel choose the option to hang the floor system from this wall, as well as the other options you may want to do. Then you can set your 2nd floor walls to Balloon through Floor below. The result you get after auto-framing everything is this:

Very true! I have no doubt that I can speak for the whole community in saying that we appreciate all your top notch guidance and tricks/tips @Alaskan_Son.

I am not following your process. A picture speaks a thousand words sometimes. Try taking screen shots with the snipping tool. The more shots the better.

I am not a rendering artist like many on here but make sure you have your maximum light count turned WAY up when you use rope lights as in default it is set to have a light every 3" and more often if you change that. That means for a 8ft long piece of rope lighting you will have 36 lights. When you have it set at 8 or 20 lights that is not enough to even turn on the rope light. So turn that way up. BTW This type of post is usually better served in your own post instead of another thread as you most likely will need to share some settings, pictures, and/or your plan file, if it is not something easy to diagnose. But in this case I would start with making sure you have enough lights activated and then start your own thread if you need to.

In some cases you will need to give the Structure of your ceiling plane a 0 thickness as the scissor truss or rounded truss/rafter tends to cut-it off so you are better manually framing that if you need to show it, Or frame it with the proper thickness then turn off auto rebuild ceilings and change the ceiling plane back to 0 thickness structure.

Try changing that to an attic wall and set it under the roof panel for roof cuts wall at bottom.

My suspicion of what is happening as well. I think many users have the misconception that when you manually adjust your dimensions you lose the automatic behavior because Chief thinks you want to over-ride it otherwise you would have told it to automatically do it to begin with. It's basically the program telling itself, okay this is a special use case so the user wants to override the defaults, give the user total control...

As what Michael is talking about above it is possibly your settings:

Suggestions?

Like this? 12" Diameter?

I saw the issue in x12 and have not experienced it in x13 during beta or public.

Depends on what camera view you are looking at: Quick rough PBR and model: vs. a Vector or any view with a line overlay:

Just an FYI with using the regular stair tool as I highlighted above you can set your treads as a separate material.

Good to know you don’t have to make that change first now. I wonder if this is a change in x13 that I didn’t notice. I am pretty sure you did have to in x12. But Really I have been doing it that way for a while as it used to be once you select no stringers the Height Below Tread option was grayed out so I haven’t tried.

You can easily make a fully concrete stair set without the lines using the stair tool. The key to not showing stringer lines is before you remove stringers set your below stringer height to a high number like 100 or so then remove stringers, set tread overhang and thickness to 0, closed risers, not open below and a quick change to all concrete in materials and good to go. Save one to your library and just adjust on each plan. Here is a rough picture as I did this on my phone from a screen grab but gives you the idea.
