So the ones I am showing in Chief look pretty close to what you are showing in your picture. What do you need that is different?

Did you even look before you started shouting at me?

In Adam's picture, he is using "upper wall and lower wall outline". In this case, the setting seems to affect it, in your case, maybe not. Since Adam didn't post a plan, we are still just guessing.

It looks like there might be some in the library that would work. I just searched for "drinking" and a few showed up that could be downloaded.

If you have manual roof planes, and you change the roof plane defaults, they probably won't change. You would either need to rebuild the roof or edit all of the roof planes. BTW, there is a tool for editing all the roof planes which can be handy in cases like this.

The only other thing I can think of to check is if you have "display openings in non-display parts of walls" set to "always" in your pony wall defaults. If it's not this, then you should probably post your plan.

Suppress label does not get rid of the schedule callout like it used to. I think this changed when they added the ability to show both labels and callouts. You need to open the wall dialog, go to the schedule page, and either turn off "include in schedule" or "show schedule callout".

It looks like your window is sitting right on top of the lower wall. You could try raising it up just a tad. You might also try playing around with the rough opening and concrete cutout settings to see if they affect it.

I guess you need to look at what is different between the door you have that works and the one that doesn't. Maybe a stretch plane or origin issue? BTW, it does not seem to be related to how complicated the door is. See my toilet doors below.

Seems to work for me. Maybe you did something wrong with the door symbol?

I don't think those stairs will connect automatically. If you want the handrail to wrap around, you will probably have to draw it manually with a molding poly. You could also maybe draw a short rail section there depending on what you are trying to do.

Did you look in all of the bonus and manufacturer libraries? Not sure if some of them are only for X15 or not though. X15 has some library improvements that might actually help in this case because you can search for "architectural blocks" and it will show you all of the installed library objects as well as all of the ones you can download. Did you really need the furniture "grouped" because if you can find individual pieces that you like you can always build your own groups. Just grab them, block them, and save them to your user library.

The arrow backoff point looks like it is only used when you are using the cad block as an arrowhead. It allows you to change where the line ends relative to the arrow insertion point. It took me awhile to figure it out because apparently it also controls the orientation of the arrowhead. While messing with it, I ended up with my arrow head pointing every which way. Seems like you need to be careful when using it and it would be better if you could just set the angle. In the picture below, the insertion point is at the tip of each arrow. For the one on the right, the arrow backoff point is at the bottom. It's probably not very useful if your arrowhead has a solid fill.

Yeah, that's probably why @TeaTime always seems to beat me to the post.

What, no love for poor old DB even though I beat Robert by a good 13 hours? Good thing I don't get my nose all bent out of shape over silly things like up/down votes and who gets credit for solutions. ;) And no, once you make something a symbol you really can't "explode" it to get back to the original objects. You can put it in a camera view and add/delete more surfaces to make a new symbol, but you can't do much else. They're now just "dumb" surfaces and you have lost the "smart" objects.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it has to do with the new laptop and the external monitor. See if this tech article helps: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00106/troubleshooting-3d-camera-view-display-problems-in-chief-architect.html If not, then you might want to call tech support.

What about using one of the attic gable vents in the core library?

I think you will need to create a new library shutter. Might be as easy as copying the existing one in the library, resizing it so that the panels are the smaller size, and then putting the stretch plane in the panel that will grow.

I couldn't remember so I just used "help" to find it. Default Settings--Schedules--Custom Object Fields

Or, just show it using the reference display tools. In fact, you could keep the site plan, main building, and shop all in separate plans and display the main building and the shop on the site plan using reference display. The new offsets and angle that they added in X15 make this much easier. Here is some more info about using reference display: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00475/using-the-reference-display.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/5435/using-the-reference-display.html?playlist=100

Go back and reread my post above. You don't need all of those custom fields. All you are going to do is create more work for yourself. For example, you don't need to add a custom field for "Room". Get rid of it. Just add the built in schedule column for "Room Name". If you don't want it to say "Room Name" as the column title, then you can just rename it in the schedule to say "Room". You will still need some custom fields and to add info to them, just do what Joe says above.

Most of the information you are showing is stuff that Chief will already do for you automatically, so you don't really need to create custom object fields for them. Chief will already do the Cabinet #, Room, Quantity, Width, Depth, Height, and Notes automatically. Keep in mind that you can always rename the column titles to what ever you want. For the CWP Code column, I would just use the "code" data and rename the schedule column. You will also need to enter this code for all of your cabinets. For the Modifications/Accessories column, I would probably just use "comments" data and rename the schedule column. If you are ok with the "description" that Chief already uses then you don't need a custom field for the "Cabinet Type". If not, then you can use a custom field called "Cabinet Type" and then you would need to type this in for every cabinet. Once you have created the custom field, it should automatically show up as a column that you can add to your schedule. Once you have filled in something for the custom field for a cabinet, then it should automatically show up in the schedule (just like it will when you type in notes or description). So the only other custom field you will need is the "Wall". Again, you would just create the custom field, type the name of the wall into the field for the cabinet, and then when you add the column to your schedule it should just show up. Once you get this setup, it's all pretty easy to use. It's only confusing to setup the first time you need to.

Have the walls been marked as invisible? Are the walls using transparent materials? Are the walls on the normal walls layer? If it's not one of these, then you might want to post the plan. More thoughts: Does it happen in all plans, or just one plan? If it is just one plan, then you should post it. If it happens in all your plans, then it could be the result of a video card or driver problem.

You can't import any cad, pictures, or other 2d stuff in a camera view (unless it's an elevation). Also, in the future you might want to post a bigger picture because the one above is pretty hard to see.

If you open the deck room and make sure "auto rebuild deck framing" is turned on, then you shouldn't have to rebuild it every time you make a change. Can't remember if X12 had any bugs where you needed to force a manual rebuild even when it was turned on, but I know this has happened to me before (but it's been a while).
