I'm a Residential Interior Designer, pretty techy and a fast learner. I have the best Mac Studio configuration and 2 screens, so well equipped. I knew AutoCad thoroughly prior and could do Revit at one time. I've used CA Premier for 3 projects now and have taught myself as needed thus far. I've been able to do cabinetry pretty good, documentation, some decent 3D Renders, and electric plans. But I am very much in need of a more thorough training and have time now. I know I need a thorough walk thru of the Plan Management Series and the User Interface Series since there are so many basic things I've missed. Then there is a LOT I still don't know at all (ceilings, framing, much of the user interface) or fully understand (rendering, plan views, schedules, defaults ...). But looking at the other hundreds of videos, I kinda need them all, yet I realize that's impossible and quite overwhelming. I'm sure there's overlap as well. So my ask is ... is there a best way to do this? Should I just walk thru the Reference Manual? Or, I think there's a Tutorial Manual? I'm a perfectionist (very thorough) and quite ADHD, so I could use some structure. Can't afford any paid training right now. Thoughts please!?

DBCooper and Chris ... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! And thank you for the video!!! I fixed all you pointed out and a few more things I noticed. Interestingly, before I changed the General Wall Default to Outer (great save for a later problem I'm sure), the wall stopped overlapping. I think it had something to do with the custom countertop or the stile issue. I turned off all countertop and backsplashes on all cabinets and squared off the corner ... thank you for showing me that Chris ... I had done a work-around and it was only so-so. To get the backsplash across the lower cabinets only, I duplicated and reshaped the custom countertop and pushed it into place so that worked. ALSO, IT TURNS OUT, the lower half of the tall cabinet got crooked somehow and that was causing issues with the dimensions as well. My wall is still sticking to the cabinet, pulling it along if I move it, but it's in place and all is well. THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for catching that DBCooper! I think I deleted the stile when I was trying to figure out something with the wall, and I DID remove the backsplash from the lower part of the tall cabinet, but I pulled a custom countertop across it and forgot it there! Appreciate the catch. But when I added it (and changed cabinet back to 36" ... it said 36-1/16??) it's sticking out now. Do I need it with the wall next to it, or what do I do? Other than learn cabinets better, which I'm working on. ;-\ Here is what I'm seeing with the wall. It's a 4.5" wall but overlapping something. The cabinet is showing as white and not part of whatever it is that tinted, but when I click on it, it's also overlapping. Re-attaching plan with wall. 2023-4-3 Davis Residence GB.plan

I'm still pretty new to Chief Architect, but I don't remember this happening before. This is a simple little bathoom plan and when I try to draw a wall next to the 36" full height cabinet, the wall overlaps and the measurement reads 4". My wall is an interior-4 wall, nothing special. I do have a countertop sitting between the base cabinet and the upper part of it (which I drew as a wall cabinet and just pulled down); it's a custom countertop and sitting right where it's supposed to, so I don't think that's the problem. What am I doing wrong? (plan for another ID and I'm just drawing it for her) 2023-4-3 Davis Residence GB.plan
