OK, I figured it out:
 
Turns out I needed to update the Angle / Quadrant Bearing setting for each floor level.  Once I did that the angle bearings showed correctly.
 
The CAD Defaults setting is unique to each level.
 
Learned something new today.

Rob,
 
I gave this a whirl.  First time building a custom garage door for me.  Others might have an easier method.
 
I built custom door panels out of 3D solids in elevation.  Basically 2 panel types -- 1 for lower panel and 1 for the 3 upper panels with glass.  I then created separate Millwork symbols for each of the panel types.  I then assembled (stacked) the millwork panel symbols in elevation to create my new door assembly.  I then created a new door symbol out of these 4 millwork panels.
 
You could probably skip creating separate millwork symbols for each panel types, but the thinking was if they were their own symbol they could more easily be rearranged if the door panel layout changed.
 
This took maybe 10 minutes.

I think you need to add a roof:
 

Ben,
 
Thanks for reply.
 
Problem solved.  I restarted Firefox which fixed it.

John,
 
Does your main layer have framing option turned off?  I did an experiment where I made a copy of an exterior stud wall and then turned off the framing feature.  That killed the framing option for the particular wall type as there's nothing to frame:

Ed,
 
Is your Bumping / Pushing turned off (F11)?   Look under Snap Settings.

Larry,
 
Check this layer:
 

 

Update --
 
I submitted this to tech support and got the reply below.  Appears to be a glitch that they are looking into.

Thanks for this additional information! It does appear to be the same issue as prior. Our development team is aware of this issue, so I have updated them with additional information. It appears the issue is related to changing the dimension text’s position to be above the line in the defaults, then making manual changes to the dimension.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. If you have any further questions about this issue in the meantime, please let me know.

Best Regards,
Roy

Select the schedule then hit the renumber schedule button.

I repaired the installation and that seemed to fix the problem.

Lisa,
 
My first guess is make a copy of your wall type and then apply the wall siding extension to that new wall type.  Use the new wall type only where you want this condition.

I think you might be looking for Depth Cue?
 

 

Shane,
 
I changed the offending wall to have a brick pony wall below and then manipulated the pony wall heights in 3D elevation.  Here's the result below.  Give it a try.

I turned ALL LAYERS ON.  Looks like it's a wall on a special electrical layer:
 

Maybe F11?  Toggles Bumping / Pushing on/off:
 
 

 

 

Might be an object Draw Order issue.  Select the object and change the draw order to bring it forward, i.e. in front of the other objects.

Drew,
 
I was able to do this.  I just modified the Material Transparency Property.  In this case, my deck boards were Redwood.  Is this what you needed?
 

 

Melissa,
 
Possibly this setting?  The setting highlights dimension text that has been "messed with."
 

 
Which is explained in Help here:
 

 

Larry,
 
I was able to get the stucco finish to generate on the upper portion by selecting this:

Larry,
 
Maybe adjust your top/bottom schedule margins to add some space?
 
Jim
 
 
 

 

There is a setting in the Appearance Panel that forces gray scale items to either black or white.
 
Go to Preferences / Appearance Panel / Display and switch on Grayscale as oppposed to Black and White.  Read up on the help description for item #4.
 
That's my best guess.
 

It's controlled by layers.  Turn on or off:
 

I believe it's caused by this setting under Preferences / Appearance.  If you set it to "0" then text will not adjust when you scroll in or out.
 

Chopsaw,
 
OK, if I understand correctly, there is no override and it's up to the user to manage with drawing order.  Bummer.
 
Maybe a future feature Chief would consider?
 
Thanks for your input.
 
Jim
