Joey didn't say but I am guessing that he is just showing the access in his plan view as a cad detail. 

If you need to make sure your floor framing handles the opening, you can always make a "hole in floor platform".  You could also make a symbol and set it to "cuts referenced surface (floor)" and then set "entire assembly" and then it will also cut through the floor framing but you can show a solid surface or even a door on top of the opening.

Through the foundation wall or through the floor?

The short answer is that you need to change the door style to use a different symbol.   I did not see one in the core libraries but there might be one in either the manufacturer or bonus libraries.  If you can't find one you like, that should be a very easy style to create yourself.  Here is a video that might help:

ANY ANSWER TO THIS?

The answer is that Chief changed it.  Yelling on the forum probably won't do much good. You should call tech support and complain to them if you want anything changed.  Rumor has it that X18 beta is going to be coming up soon so my guess is that they won't make any more updates in X17 but maybe you can get them to change it in X18 .

I think Joey is correct.  The only way you will get that message is if you are trying to delete the "wall type" and not when you try to delete the currently selected "wall layer". Basically, you are pushing the wrong "delete" button.  

If you are indeed pushing the right button, then something is seriously messed up.  You should exit Chief and reboot your computer to see if it keeps happening.

FWIW, I went ahead and downloaded your plan and had no problem deleting the paint layer.

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:

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):

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.

This might be helpful too:

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)?

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.

I can't figure out what I might have done wrong.

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.
