I am doing this shower using X15 out of box glass shower pony wall.  Edited the curb part to have concrete core at 4.5 inch width.  Edited the cap to be 5.75 inch wide.  I got this unresolved cap corner at the OOB wall and cap specs, and it's here still in the edited version.  I have done the wall join edit thing to no avail.

Try locking layers before you start editing.

Big OOPS!  Found it where it's always been, in Defaults, cabinet type base, wall, full.

But how do I show shelves in dashed lines inside the cabinets, in this elevation view?

What's going on here?  Why no indicators?

Very clever, Brett @tundra_dweller, I had not thought of that.  I then thought, but I gotta turn off the windows layer to remove the offending glazing lines and jamb boxes, which I did to get the look that @EmmaCox wants, but of course that drops out any window label with it.

But then again, Emma's desired plan-view look has no window labeling, so your solution works, once you change the default line to solid for the opening header lines from the OOB dashed lines.

Just one more baby step from Chief, and we can get the look for the doors Emma is after!  Needs a suggestion.

I don't see a way to do that.  You can show windows with the exterior casings on or off, with the interior casings on or off, but you get the Chief-hard-coded double "glazing" lines you want to see represented differently.  If you turn off the windows layer, you get a blank space in the wall wherever there is a window.

I think what you want merits a clearly written feature request in the Suggestions part of the forum, and you might want it patterned like the way the WALLS - MAIN LAYER ONLY thing works.  In fact one might want that windows-shown-as-a-simple-box feature to enable and display always when you select the WALLS - MAIN LAYER ONLY layer to be on.

My way might be for that new display thing to work might be that it would yield the look exactly as you show, that being windows as blank boxes same thickness as mail layer walls, and (here is the extension of that) doors to display not as boxes with thickness but as fat-single lines, opened at 90 degrees, and showing the swing arcs.

What you show in your post above, is pretty much the standard look for floor plans at every online plans-for-sale site.

OK, and now do the roof lines in plan view like what you displayed.  Edges of any roof planes that bear on the walls of the floor shown, should be shown in the plan view.  That would be a separate Suggestion request.  I believe it's already been requested (maybe this one about windows, too) but it never hurts to request it again.  

Just watched one of @Renerabbitt's excellent YouTube videos, the one about numbering cabinets in install sequence to help with delivery and installation, and he shows towards the end how he has his fillers, a cabinet-category item type, in a separate schedule.

He does not show how this separate schedule gets generated, and I'd like to know.

In my example I want to schedule all bathroom cabinetry separately from kitchen.

So, how does one do this?

Pic of glass wall quickly done doodled with material regions to mock up mullions.  You can see the extents of the wall.

The OP might better had described his situation as a framed curtain wall, in which case the solution is done better with windows and mullions.  The way he described it made me think of some super modernistic thing done with huge panels of sheet glass.  Like some 100 million dollar folly built on a seafront lot way out past East Hampton.

Draw the glass wall with the wall tool, using the OOB X15 wall type "glass wall."   Use material regions not cutting finish to apply all the muntins and mullions you want.  Show us how it looks when done.

Also be sure that whatever those angles, they be put into Plan Defaults.  Looks like you got some customs.  CAD detail from view will tell you.

@leyi123why haven't you posted the plan?  Do a "save as" version, call it "roof help" or something.  Delete anything that is hi-poly and not relevant to structure and roofs.  Like fixtures, furniture.  Save the stripped plan.  Close it, zip it, attach it to a reply in this thread.  No one can help you unless you do this.

Is this a two story house?  All I see in your plan view is bedrooms bathrooms and a terrace or something.  No living, dining, greatroom, kitchen, pantry, foyer, entry, but also no staircase or stairwell.

Edit:  Sorry, I see the stairs.  

Anybody got a link?  I want to lay 2x12s flat on the as-built roof for the overframe valley set rafters to bear on.

What software are you using?  Your signature does not list it.

You know how Chief wall types work, right?  There are 8 inch walls, 3 inch walls, and any makeup and thickness your heart desires.

Why not instead of autoframing the whole thing, just frame each of the new walls singly?  

Thanks @Michael_Gia!  I joined WeTransfer and will use the free version for occasional uploads such my issue as re cabinet display in another thread here.

@RobDesLLC I will edit my sig line to delete Dropbox, which I do not use any longer.  Tried it long ago and never fully understood its operation.

Here is the unstripped file.  The issue is the kitchen wall cabinet to R of corner wall cab.  Upper L corner of kitchen cabinets ell arrangement.  Joint between.

First time I have tried using WeTransfer, and hope it works.    https://we.tl/t-B6840ozbKS

I post a q about an issue, someone properly says post the plan.  I check file and it's 50 Mb.  I can't go cloud 'cause I have no cloud accounts.

What's the quick way to scrub the stuff unimportant to Chief building?

Attached is a plan view of a kitchen with cabinets displayed.  I drew two arrows to point out lines I cannot make go away.  The cabinets both sides of these two lines are same type, height, distance off floor as adjoining cabinets.  No other cabinet to cabinet lines are showing.  Why these?

Yes I do but it is from three days prior.

Here are my settings for archiving.  The corrupted file is from about 8 a.m. this morning.  I worked on this plan yesterday afternoon and evening, March 17, but there are no archived files from March 17.  All I have is a backup from March 15, but the job plan file was open March 16 and March 17.  

When I try to open the backup file directly from the archives folder, I get the first message I show below.

Trying to open the file (not its backup) and saying YES to the "open the newer backup" query, I get another version of the message.  Second image below?

I really need to get this file open.

A house with a low pitch shed roof and one end hipped is to get a simple addition, just a big bump-out at one end.

Job file attached.  See the pics.  I can certainly do a hipped roof on the addition and join it into the as-built roof, but I thought there might be a more creative way to roof it.  Any and all ideas would be appreciated.

Then ask the framing sub how he might prefer building it.

Sorry!  Never happened before.  I must have hit the exchange with floor above.  First time I ever used this.

How could this have happened?  I cannot recover from archives.  The only one there is saved wrong.

All I had for floor one is now floor two and two is now one.
