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.

Make sure the wall you drew is using the wall type you changed. Make sure the "walls, layers" is turned on. Make sure the wall is not a "railing". Could be something else, but would probably need to have a plan to look at. As far as other ways to make some walls look different, could also use the wall hatch tool.

Select the terrain perimeter. Select the "make terrain hole around building" tool, Edit the shape as needed.

I assume you mean home designer architectural? Not sure if it has the same controls for stairs that chief premier has so you might want to ask on the home designer forum instead: https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/ You might be able to get close to what you want using fully automatic stairs if you make sure the difference in the deck heights is exactly 2 riser heights.

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.
