Had this same question and it was answered on the Chief Facebook group. Sharing here in case anyone else stumbles upon this thread.
How to adjust the layout frame to a non-rectangular shape:
In layout select the layout box. Go to the edge you want to break and hit the 3 key (or in edit menu bar there will be a break option) It will apply a new grip at the break, then grab the line you want and start manipulating the polyline of the layout box. -
I also have this same question. I'd love to keep the clip line box in layout too without additional work.

Thank you for the help! I'll give that a try next time I have a handful to change at once. Otherwise it sure is cumbersome to go through each one separately.

Is there a way to change the direction to a door on multiple cabinets at once? I have a drawer pull (horizontal orientation) I am replacing on multiple doors and the edit option becomes grayed out if I try to edit multiple cabinets at a time.

I'm trying to represent a three-gang box with 3, three-way switches, two of them also have dimmers. I added my own text to the 3-gang switch symbol in Chief to denote this scenario. What's the best way to customize the electrical schedule if I have a custom combination? Or do I fake it and drop a screenshot at the bottom of the schedule and add my own text next to it? Or better yet…are there more electrical switch symbols I'm simply not seeing in Chief for this combination?
Thanks in advance. I'm new to interiors and Chief.

You have to make multiple copies of your floor plan layout box and crop out what you don't want to show by adjusting the clipping on the layout box.
