Thank you very much for that extensive video response. I just assumed that I should be able to snap to things like trim but it looks like it isn't as simple as that in Chief Architect.
I do have the object snaps option in X14 but it definitely does not snap to the trim of windows or doors or base. I can snap to certain items like drywall, siding, foundation, and framing as far as I can tell.
I do really like the work around of converting to CAD view and then copying the items into the section view. I will most likely be doing that for wainscoting since it seems like the option with the most versatility.
Thank you again.
