Yes. You're so right.

That's a good point. Wouldn't it be great if ponies could have more than two walls?

That is a drawback because you have to address each exterior wall. The version I suggested is one and done.

Rene's video prompted me to find a simpler way: Create a recessed baseboard like the one attached. Change the walls into pony walls, with the lower wall being a copy of the upper wall. Give the lower pony wall a 0” drywall thickness on both or one sides, depending on whether it's interior or exterior. Make the lower wall height the same as the baseboard plus the floor thickness (same color too, if that's the look). Align the main layers, if needed. Save the molding and wall types. You're done.

I've had similar issues. Chief tech support could not replicate it, but it happened in a particular plan EVERY time I used cameras in that plan. But only on one fast computer with a 4090. Then, yesterday, it happened on a different plan. But it was an altogether different computer. Evidently, some computer/GPU combinations cause crashes, but neither I nor Chief have solved it.

Years ago, this was in an obvious location. Now I can't recall where to change it. Let's say I want to change the 5 1/2" lengths to 3" without the glass pony wall snapping to the solid walls. I'm having a brain fart.

The deck is definitely on the floor above the roofs. It's the only thing on that floor.

I'm pretty sure I've solved this before, but my aging brain is giving me problems today. How does one enable the deck to show up when it's over a section of roof? Any help would be most appreciated.

Aha! I spoke too soon. An hour later, the catalogs have deployed. Thank you.

That works fine for User Catalog, but I still don't see how to handle Bonus and Manufacturers.

After viewing many threads and FAQs, I still don't see a straightforward way to achieve this, and I've been a power user for decades. I've been using X17 for a while, with the normal complaints about Managed Mode requiring an export of each project to work on a different machine. That's old news. But now, with a completely new, and ridiculously expensive PC, I see no logical way to export ALL my data to the new machine. I've copied and pasted all the Program Data into the corresponding folders on the new machine. Same with User Data, like toolbars, etc. Nothing is showing up on the new PC, regardless of using mangaged or unmangaged mode. Downloading everything from the Chief website would be time-consuming and wasteful since I already have the files on the old machine. Even when exporting the User Library, the only library that can be exported, hundreds of textures are missing during the export process. I didn't bother trying to import into the new PC since so many textures were missing.

I didn't want to trouble you, Rene. I will look at what you sent in the morning. Thanks so much!

This is probably simple, but I've not encountered it for a long time and don't remember the solution. While the walls are still present, the rooms are gone, as are their floors. When I turn on wall framing, it has raised about a foot as evidenced by the framing showing up at the bottom of the windows in 3D. Other elements raised too, like the exterior stone and its cap. The plan was created in X16, and I've had the same issue when bringing it forward to X17. The plan is too large to attach here, but if you want to take a look, it can be downloaded here for X17: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s6clgf0pou6t0vds9nb7b/PELLEGRINO-16-6.caproj?rlkey=wihf3j2ih78g96rdrp336vf53&dl=0 X16 here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0r2elzulvmn4t5vfraexp/PELLEGRINO-16.plan?rlkey=7xlf0gu5qbn88j0atjb9k0ees&dl=0

There should be some available in the 3D warehouse for Sketchup.

No issues. It is solid. Managed Projects will take some getting used to.
