So the easy way to solve this is to use X16 where you can just offset the panel to be where you want it in the opening. I did not take a look at Rene's symbol but my guess is that he made the door into a symbol so that he could offset the origin of the symbol. Personally, if I was determined to do this in X15 or some other older version, I would probably just create a doorway and manually place the door and position it how I wanted it.

Look for it in your framing defaults under "plan display".

When you built the foundation, did you chooser "mono slab" in the "build foundation" dialog? If this is what you did, and you are still getting stem walls, then you might want to post the plan because I can't think of a good reason why that would happen.

If you have a symbol, molding, or material that is owned by another object, you can always use the "Add to Library As" tool to extract it and insert it into the library.

This is most likely a problem with your video card or the driver.

Michael is correct. One of the library objects is a symbol of a door panel and the other is a full garage door. You can only choose a panel symbol from the door dialog but you can place either from the library and into the plan.

Take another look at my picture above. See how it has one "stacked molding" that is made up using two separate molding profiles. It also has the "explode stack" button so that you can go back to the original profiles. It has some advantages over a single molding profile because you can build up stacked moldings from more basic profiles and then modify them later. A stacked molding is more like an architectural block where your custom profile is more like a symbol.

@GeneDavis You can group 2 or more moldings into a "stacked molding" so that you can treat them like one molding. You can even add the stack to the library to reuse them later.

Find one you like in the library and then just click on the fence. Works pretty much the same as adding a door.

Do the moldings match exactly for both cabinets? Do the cabinet heights also match exactly? If not one of these, you should probably post the plan. BTW, any time I have problem with the automatic moldings that I can't fix easily, I just convert them to custom molding polylines and then fix them manually.

Check the wall type used for the railing that forms the stairwell room. My guess is that it doesn't have any drywall. Might want to change it to "interior railing" if it is not already. If that doesn't help you, then you should probably post your plan.

Just an FYI, you don't actually need custom muntins to make that window.

See if adjusting the "panel offset" does what you want.

Edit layout lines is perfectly fine as long as you don't mind having to redo it every single time you make a change to the model that affects the elevation view. You could also just make a copy of the plan material you are using and use this material on the solids where you want the line. The program won't merge the surfaces if the materials are different. They don't need to actually look different so just making a copy should do the trick.

What does the "check knowledge base" button tell you? I think it means the file is probably hosed and you will need to find a backup or archive. Here is a tech article that might help: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00960/message-the-plan-file-you-are-attempting-to-open-appears-to-be-corrupted.html And here is one that tells you how to find your archive files: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00099/accessing-your-archive-files.html

You can get kind of close using a left and right "radius end cabinet". I don't think there is any easy way to get the asymmetrical curved drawers though.

I think Michael is right, you will need two half circles to make a full circle with walls. You can open the wall dialog and set the radius to make sure they are both exactly the same. If you do want to create a polygon shaped room/building, you can use the "polygon shaped room" tool to set the number of sides and either the side length or the radius.

I think you can fix this by adding wall breaks to the walls that intersect the dormer wall. Currently, you have them drawn as through walls and then you have breaks in your dormer wall. It helps to turn on your layer for "walls, off in plan" to see what you are doing here. Also, I noticed that your wall definitions are a bit unusual. What would normally be marked as your framing layer is not set to framing and is set to have an air gap material. Not sure if you did this on purpose or not.

Did you try looking at the sheet metal materials? Or the metal siding materials?

If you zip it, it will be much smaller. Be sure it is closed when you try, otherwise it will be empty. If it's still too big, then make a copy and delete all the stuff that has nothing to do with the problems. Or, post it on the cloud and post a link.

You do realize that you can do that with one cabinet? Actually, any cabinet can have as many different door styles as you have doors. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00040/using-different-door-styles-on-a-single-cabinet.html

When the tray ceiling won't work for me, I usually end up just using poly solids and molding polylines. You can sometimes get soffits to work ok by butting the inside corners up against each other. Soffits will usually auto fill into the corners. Soffits also have the advantage of being able to put moldings on them so you don't have to draw them manually.

@GaryOhmer Is there a reason you like to use 2 cabinets for a situation like this? Unless I was going to actually use 2 stacked cabinets IRL, I think it is much easier and more accurate to just use one cabinet.

As far as I know, they only affect auto roofs so I don't think they will help with your problems. Not sure why you don't use auto roofs much because many times it gives me exactly what I want and when it doesn't, it at least gives me a good starting point. My guess is that those wall problems are coming from your interior walls. Might want to post your plan to see if someone can figure out why.

As far as I know, separations won't auto resize. You can either manually set the height of the separation or change it to a blank area.
