With stairs and auto stairwell is there a check to build a wall around stairwell or do you have to do this manually?

Sorry new b q: I am sure there is an easy way to do this but wow do I show where 6'8" of headroom clearance is on stairs on a 2D plan?

Is there a key command Mac or pc or quick way to turn stairs view off and on?

Thanks definitely a concern

Curious everyone's opinion on this whether this will be something will regret?

Hi Eric the terrain should be set to 0', with the ground floor say 3" or so higher than grade. Am I checking this in the right spot?

Curious how many folks include an excavation plan or have excavator do? Most of the cities around me don't require per say but it is nice to be on same page. If so how do you typically do in Chief?

I am having problems with the counter lines for an existing sloped driveway. The driveway is sloped up from street. On the right side there is a large elevation change and then about 3-4' high retaining wall. This seems to be drawing correct. The driveway is relatively flat other than it gradually inclined up. The opposite side once you get to the driveways edge there is about a 2 ft drop to the top of another retaining wall that retains dirt from another lower driveway. I have put in pink kind of what it should look like. What is the easy way to have the driveway gradually slope?

Sorry new b question Is there a way I can turn on and off to be able to show the current topo as well as the new topo once buildings, driveway, retaining walls, parking added?

Thanks is there a key command to select all rooms?

I imported a cad of a surveys. For the most part it is to scale but it is just slightly off. For example a measurement that should be 6' is measuring at 5' 11/12" Is there a way I can adjust the scale up by 1/12"?
