Could be a lot of things. Maybe your roof finish layers got messed up somehow. Maybe your material list layer set has things turned off that shouldn't be. If you want something better than guess, you should probably post your plan.

Actually, there are a few ways to do this. You can just use the tab key to select the cooktop after you have selected the cabinet. Then you can resize it using the edit handles or use "open object" to do it through the fixture dialog. You can also use the "open symbol" edit toolbar button when you have selected the cabinet. You can even edit if from the cabinet dialog by going to the "accessories" page and looking for the edit button next to the "top appliance".

Had another thought... Are you using the latest update (27.3.2.5)? If not, you should definitely install the latest update. I think they fixed a bug that was related to problems with dishwashers from legacy plans. If neither of these help, then you might want to post your plan or contact tech support again.

This is super easy, as long as you are OK with creating a separate schedule for each floor: 1. set the schedule to only include objects from floor 1. 2. change the schedule number prefix to "W1" or just "1". 3. make sure "include leading zeroes" is checked. 4. create another schedule for each floor and change the floor number and prefix to either 0 or 2 or whichever floor you need. Now if you want it to look like one schedule, you could remove the title and column headers from the extra schedules and position them next to each other. You just need to keep making manual adjustments if your column or row sizes change. There are other ways to do this but they are more complicated.

Are you using the new dishwashers from X17 (from your picture, it doesn't look like it)? If you just migrated your X16 libraries and never updated them, then you probably are not. You should make sure your libraries are up to date in X17. If you are using the new dishwashers, then the answer is that you don't insert them into cabinets anymore. Just place your dishwasher as a freestanding appliance next to your cabinets the same way you would a stove. You might then want to move it out from the wall to align it with either the front of the cabinet box or the door panels because by default they will be back against the wall.

Can't you just export the project, which is supposed to create a complete copy with all of the references, and then delete it? This tech article might help: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03212/exporting-projects-and-disconnected-files.html

X17 is going to work differently than older versions when you have project management turned on. So you can either turn off the project management or learn how to use it. These might be a good starting point: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03217/working-with-the-project-browser-using-project-management.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03205/copying-projects-or-files-using-project-management.html Or, if you just don't want to learn how to use it: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03210/enabling-or-disabling-project-management.html

You might need to make sure your dimension defaults are set to locate framing. I am able to use all of the dimension tools except the interior and centerline. It makes sense that an interior dimension wouldn't work in details since it is only going to have framing and 2D cad but I'm not sure why the centerline dimension is disabled since you can use it in other views to locate the center of framing.

I almost got it. You need to set your sq ft custom object fields to "format as a number" and then you can set your schedule to "calculate total" and "sum similar rows" for these columns. Unfortunately, your custom macro gives you an "error" for the non-pony walls but this might be something you can fix in your custom macro by having it just return 0 for these cases instead of "n/a".

So manual roofs is probably the easy way to go but just as an FYI, you can also do this style of roof using the automatic tools. Should be able to do it using invisible walls or even using roof baseline polylines. Here is an article that shows how to do it in one of the Home Designer versions that doesn't even have manual roofs: https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/support/article/KB-01197/creating-a-prow-roof.html

I have no idea why that drawer panel would have the stretch plane setup that way. You could make a copy of it and fix it like Molly is suggesting. It also looks like it is just a plain old slab so instead of using the "benton drawer" symbol in your cabinet defaults, you could just switch it to the built in "slab drawers".

Might want to post this on the "seeking services" forum instead. Might want to call Chief to see if there is anyway you can renew your student license for a short period so you can do this yourself. Also, you can always rent Chief for just a month.

@davaze I don't think X12 even had CPU raytracing so you are comparing apples to oranges. X17 is going to take advantage of features of the video card that X12 doesn't use so it should be no surprise that it can run into problems that X12 won't. As for using outdated drivers, seems more like a video card issue than a Chief issue to me, but regardless, you just need to find a driver that works.

The only thing I can think of that might cause a problem like that is maybe a messed up symbol being used for the drawer front. If you post your plan, someone could probably look at it and figure it out more quickly.

If your first floor walls do not form at least one room, either because they are properly connected or any of them are marked as "no room definition", then you will not get any walls on your second floor. If it's not one of those problems, then you probably should post the plan.
