That was going to be my first guess. Doors will always use the higher floor of the two rooms.

FYI, you don't actually need to resend the view. You can open the layout box dialog and change the view type there.

Assuming that those cabinets are the same width, then it looks to me like the only problem is that they are just not aligned with each other. Some times you can get them to snap together by moving one of them farther away first, letting go of it, and then when you move it back look for the object snaps to get them back aligned. Another thing that can help is to use the point-to-point move tool or maybe even the center object tool. Another way that can work is to drag one of the cabinet corners using the middle mouse button to snap to the other cabinet corner.

Are you in a camera view when you are trying to toggle it? You might get better answers on the Home Designer forum here: https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com

Not sure if you mean V10 (which is really, really old now) or X10 (which is still old), but you might be able to do it with the transform/replicate dialog. You can place a current point at the center of the arc and then set the number of copies, using a relative rotate angle, and then select "about current point". The other way you could do this is use a distributed path. This in my opinion might be better because then you could adjust them much easier later if needed and a path could be an arc, spline, or any other shape you need.

Did you send the view as "plot lines"? You can only edit plot lines.

Are you using the latest update for X17? I saw something in the update notes that was about light position indicators that wouldn't always go away. If you aren't using the latest update, then you probably want to get it. If turning them off using the update doesn't make them go away, then you should post your plan.

Try placing them on the ceiling inside a room on the first floor and then dragging them outside under the overhang. You might also need to adjust the height offset so that they sit where you want them.

I think Mark's comments are still solid. I haven't heard of 2020 making any changes to make the programs more compatible and I don't think Chief has either. @MarkMc might want to chime in if he has any new info. This all begs the question though, why do you want them to be compatible? Are you trying to work with both 2020 and Chief? And if so, you might be able to do everything you need in Chief making compatibility a moot point. Are you using Chief but want to work with others that are still using 2020? Probably not much you can do to get around this but you might be able to streamline the process of going from Chief to 2020 to make this slightly less painful.

Have you tried just using a cross section of the door by itself? If you need to make edits to the profile, you could always use the "cad detail from view" tool.

You can move floors up using the "insert new floor" tool. As for posting plans, sometimes you can make the file smaller by removing all of things that are not part of the problem, like all of the fixtures and furniture. When this doesn't work, then you need to post it on an online location, like dropbox.

Did you ever send Chief a feature request on this?

Don't change the setting in the wall dialog. If you already did, then go and set them all back to "use default". Then you can change the setting in the saved plan view dialog.

Probably really easy to figure out with a plan. Without, I would look for anything that can cause a floor/ceiling change, such as floor/ceiling heights or structure changes. This causes the program to build them separately and the tray ceiling doesn't like to span these breaks. One thing I like to try is to select all of the rooms involved and then look for anything that is marked as "no change" in the room dialog. Another thing you can do is use the match properties tool to see if all the rooms next to you actually have the same properties.
