They are probably using the same layer set. If each plot plan view is using a different layer set, then you can make changes to one without affecting the other.

Try clicking on the "library" button.

Unchecking "mark as centerline" should keep the extension and just remove the CL text:

You might be able to get what you want by creating your own drawer box symbol. The picture below shows a quick example. The floating box is a symbol I made out of 3d objects and then I used it for drawer box.

Angled top cabinets are not very easy since Chief is not designed to build them. For your situation, you could try just using a normal door. In the picture below, I made it "triangle arch" top and made it "right arch" instead of angled on both sides. I then removed the casing and jamb.

This post should probably be moved to the suggestions forum: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/8-suggestions/

Can't you just make it a 2" drawer? \

Your "temporary dimensions" are probably turned off.

I stand corrected, sorry for the snarky answer. Apparently, there is such a thing as a dishwasher cabinet (although I have never used one myself): https://www.barkercabinets.com/Standard-Base-Appliance-Case-p/bappliancecasestandard.htm I always thought Chief's way of handling dishwashers was a bit goofy. I like the new way of just placing the dishwasher as a free-standing unit and then placing the cabinets next to it. Same as a stove. The only thing I don't like is that I have to move it out from the wall to align it with the front of the cabinet. I have made copies of the Chief ones and added my own back spacing to solve this.

If you only have the layout files, you probably won't be able to do much with them without the plan files. All the layout files really do is organize your views from the plans and without the actual plans there isn't going to be anything to show. Unless you sent some views as images, they will probably all be missing.

Yes, cause in the real world I always buy an extra base cabinet just so I can put a dishwasher in it. *eye roll* As for having a dishwasher at the end of a run, build yourself a partition or filler that matches what you would actually use and put it in your library.

As far as I know, there are no defaults for picture boxes. You do have defaults for layout boxes though. Might want to send it a feature request for this.

The closest thing to a "focus" button is F6. If that doesn't help, then I am guessing that you switched to a layer set with things turned off. If neither of these help, then you really need to post the plan. Try zipping it up to see if it will be small enough to post or post it on an online location and then put a link here.

Floating railing is almost always from a floor/ceiling height issue. Not sure about the hole but maybe your stairs are inside the platform? It looks like they don't actually reach and that first step is rather large. Might want to post the plan if you can't get it sorted out.

Have you tried making your own with the material builder (new in X17)? https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/10301/custom-tile-materials-new-material-builder.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00767/creating-a-new-material.html

Can't you do this in X17 using the "create stationary walkthrough" tool?

I like the new way in X17 better even though it is not automatic. - in X16, you couldn't get switches close without them making a gang. - In X16, the edit box was off when you selected a switch in a camera view and you couldn't control where the switch was actually placed. - In x17, you can control how the switches display in plan view better with the new controls over the spacing as well as displaying the wall plate. - In X17, you can change the 3D alignment which can help if the gang is going to be near a wall end or something else that the plan display will collide with . - In X17, you can now put a gang on a cabinet side.

You haven't done anything wrong. You can't customize the left and right front faces on an L-Shape corner cabinet separately. The program will always match them. If you need them to be different, then you need to use two cabinets.

The only other thing I can think of would be a room definition problem. If you still can't figure it out, then you might want to post your plan.

Have you tried making the texture "stretch to fit"? This tech article talks about making a picture in a frame but a rug is basically the same thing: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00007/importing-and-applying-a-custom-picture-to-a-frame-computer-or-tv-screen.html

Are you using the "straight deck edge" tool to draw your deck? I think all this does is create a deck rail and mark it as "invisible". So you could probably just take your deck with rails and make the rails invisible.

If you want separate control over the 2 faces, you might have better luck using a "blind corner cabinet". You can do this with a 12" cabinet butted up against a 36" cabinet .

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".
