You need to put in a "complete break" instead of a normal break. What you have now is one stair section with 2 sub-sections and you need two different stair sections. Once you have two stair sections you can make them different widths. Here is some more info: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/25690-stairs-complete-break-tool/

Did you have the plan open in Chief when you tried to attach it? That can sometimes cause problems. Maybe the plan was too big. You might want to try putting it into a zip file before attaching it. As for your flared walls question, there is no simple way to just make a wall flared at the bottom like that. You might be able to get what you want by adding a molding to the wall that creates the flare. You could also just create the flare using a poly solid. In both cases, you would just set the material to the same as the wall.

The short answer is no, the regular stair won't conform to your terrain. You could probably manually adjust the heights to get what you want. Another thing you could try using is a distribution path with the railroad tie as the object. If it is set to follow terrain, it should look pretty close. I made my railroad ties below just using a soffit.

I would use a cabinet to design the panel. Cabinets in Chief are very powerful and allow a ton of customization. The ability to subdivide a face into whatever components you want and then customize the components can do so many things. You can setup stiles and rails to be whatever sizes you want with custom panels in between.

There is no built in "horizontal filler" tool but there are lots of ways to do things like this including using cabinets, shelves, partitions, soffits, polyline solids, symbols, and others. Might be best to post a picture of what you are trying to accomplish and someone might have better recommendations.

Did you modify your wall type definition? Good chance you made a mistake there. Marking the wall layer as framing or air gap can often cause problems. If not that, then you should post the plan. Also, it's better to give your post a title that describes the problem you're having. Something like "missing drywall in camera views" or whatever. You can always put your name in your signature so it shows up in all your posts.

If it's not a layer problem, then it's probably a video card problem. If you post your plan, someone could tell you for sure.

Best to post questions like this on the Q&A forum. Take a wall cabinet and set the overall size. Then change the door into an opening. Use the split vertical tool to make your dividers. You can then select the "horizontal layout" in the tree and use the "equalize" button to make them all the same size. Lot's of tech articles and videos on cabinet tools if you need more help. Here are a couple of examples: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02945/designing-cabinet-fronts.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00433/creating-a-custom-wine-cabinet.html

Turn on print preview. Take a look at your settings in your drawing sheet setup. A line weight of 80 is not going to look very thick when you are zoomed that far out at that scale.

The key to finding the help is to click on the little button with the arrow next to the material class to expand the section.

Well it probably has to do with your ceiling structure but you will get a much better answer if you post your plan. You will probably need to zip it and make sure it is closed when you do this in order to make it small enough to post. You might also want to delete all of the stuff not needed like the furniture.

Not sure what all HD Pro can do compared to Premier. Might want to check out the hometalk forum here: https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/ In Premier, you could just create a closed polyline and then set the fill style to your tile pattern. You can also do this for things that already show up in a plan view like counter tops and rooms. You could also create a top down floor overview which would show you all of your materials. Not sure which look you want but you might want to try these.

Sorry for the confusion. When you said "RT" I was thinking GPU raytracing and not CPU raytracing. No grass for you, apparently.

Looks like grass to me. Zoom in on it.

Place a normal doorway. Go to the arch page and set it to "dogear arch". Set the height of the arch. If needed, turn off the casing.

It might be less of a basement and more of a concrete bunker. Might want to find out what kind of weapons they are planning on using and what kind of blast rating they need. Also, make sure you don't piss them off.

Look at your preferences and see if your minimum line weight is set to something other than 0. If not that, then look at your "drawing sheet setup" to see if everything is set up properly. If neither of those help, then post the plan.

You might be able to get what you want with either the garden bed or distributed object tools. These can place plants in an area that are distributed semi-randomly and will sit on top of your terrain.

As Jason suggested, you can create a sun angle in your plan and use the "make shadow" tool to build a polyline that matches the shadow. Changing the fill style to a semi-transparent solid grey can give you something like this: Note that this is only going to give you a shadow for your walls and roofs and does not look at any other objects (AFAIK). You could also create your own "shadow" polylines and draw them however you like though. As Michael suggested, you can also create a top down orthographic overview and then turn on shadows. This view will show all shadows and it can use a wide variety of rendering techniques and options. Much harder to show things like dimensions, text, and cad. Below is just one very simple example: Would need to know more about exactly what you are looking for to give you any more suggestions.

That looks like it could be modeled entirely just using different sized cylinders. You just need to apply two different materials and then convert it into a hardware symbol. You could also look for one online that you could then import. This will only work if the person that made it used two different materials though.

Your link doesn't work.

Maybe you could draw an elevation spline on top of the imported contour lines and then get rid of them?

I don't think we actually had the "auto door threshold" back in 2020 when this thread was started. Now that we do, it is easier to set it up to so the doors will be single or double based on how you actually build them. I think it is still using the opening width though and not the cabinet box width.

I don't think that is right. Even if it was a counter top problem, I don't think you need to replace the sink when you replace an auto counter with a custom one. My guess is that you have accidently created a weird cabinet connection situation. Try going into your general cabinet defaults and turning off "create auto fillers for angled connected cabinets". You may or may not want to turn off the "create auto blind corner cabinets" too. If that doesn't solve the problem, then you should post your plan.

I'm not so sure I would trust google on this one. It's very simple to add a fillet between two straight line segments but I still haven't figured out a way to add a fillet in between a line and an arc or between two arcs. If @basketballmanknows a way, I would love to see how he does it.
