Most of the "symbol object types", along with a number of other non-symbol objects, can be grouped together as an "architectural block". A "symbol type object" could be an electrical object, an appliance, a plumbing fixture, a piece of furniture, a door panel, or a number of other things. Most 2D cad objects can be grouped together as a "cad block", including other cad blocks. Unfortunately, you can't make a group that contains both a 2D cad block and a symbol object. Seems like it would be handy if you could but I guess that means someone needs to send in a feature request since this is not something you can do now. But you can associate any 2D cad block and any set of 3D surfaces when you make a symbol object. This will give you complete control over what the object looks like in a plan view as well as what it looks like in a camera view. Keep in mind that Chief considers cross sections and elevations "camera" views too. This make symbol objects pretty powerful and can be used as general purpose tools. Some of the symbol object types, like electrical, have some special properties that the other objects don't. You can draw electrical connections that will attach to an electrical object but you can't have one connect to an appliance. You can also draw an electrical connection that is not connected to anything (which used to not be true) and this can be handy in some situations. As for having a stove and trying to have gas and electric lines move when the stove moves, there are some ways to make this happen but I don't think I would bother. I would simply draw my gas and electrical lines using the cad tools and then if/when I move the stove I would then manually move the lines. This is one reason that I typically save these details for later when the layout is more stable. If you wanted to get really sophisticated, you could draw all of your plumbing and hvac using molding polylines so that they would show in both plan views and camera views but I think that might be a bit advanced for this thread.

When you have two or more electrical objects selected, you should see the "make architectural block" button.

You could maybe create 2 different electrical objects with the 2 different cad blocks and put them on 2 different layers. You could then put both electrical objects in an "architectural block". This way you could treat them like they are one object and still have the ability to display only one at a time.

Did you send the same camera to the layout 4 times? Or did you create 4 different cameras and send them each to the layout?

You can assign one cad block to the electrical symbol and then you can place the other cad block into the plan by itself. If the electrical is on one layer and the cad block is on a different layer, then you will have control over which one displays in any plan view. You will need to remember to move both objects together.

One possible cause is that your window is on the wrong floor. Make sure the window is on the same floor as the wall as it is shown in your plan view. Could also be a problem with wall alignment (as John suggested) or modified wall tops/bottoms. If you can't figure it out, then you should post the plan.

You can change the display of your dimensions to round the values to the nearest inch. This won't actually move anything and I don't know of a way to automatically move things in this way.

Check to see if the camera layer is turned on. If it's not that, then you might want to post the plan.

Chief doesn't cutout terrain for porches and decks. You can add a manual terrain hole or use the "make terrain hole around building" tool and then edit the shape to go around the porch.

Rebuilding the deck framing will only rebuild the planks because your deck joists are set to 0" thickness.

You turned off "auto adjust height" for your landing and set the height to -72". This means the landing height is now fixed in space at that height. Once you do this the stair sections above and below the landing will operate somewhat independently from each other. Your stairs above the landing are too long and overlapping your floor platform. You should be able to pull this stair back to the edge of floor platform and they should work ok. Your stairs below the landing will either need more steps to go from the floor to the landing or they will need to have much larger riser heights. Not a lot of room between the door and the start of the stair either. Not sure if you actually have enough space in that room to build a stair that will go up 12' and still meet code.

Check your active dimension defaults. Make sure your manual dimensions are set to locate the walls and the correct sides of the walls.

Are you going to actually make cabinets with curved backs? If not, then just place straight back cabinets and use a custom curved counter to hide the gaps. If so, then you can make a curved back cabinet by making a curved front cabinet with the opposite curve and butt it up against the other one. You can then remove the face that is against a wall.

As for the molding polyline, I think all you need to do is select the "same line type" handle that is just off the end of the molding line and drag it back to the wall (easiest while in a plan view). This should add a new line segment that is connected to the first and should miter at the corner. All of this kind of begs the question though, why use 3D solids to design an entertainment center and not just use a cabinet? There are some good reasons why you might need to use solids but your picture looks like something the cabinet tools could handle.
