Use a layer set and the plot view camera.

Your stem wall needs to be a pony wall. no need for a workaround or pulling the brick down, just create that stem wall and use it for your foundation.

You have a ton of cleanup to do on the walls, but if you look at the WIC in the bottom right of your plan I fixed that wall and rebuilt the foundation, which you didn't have built. 2000SF Lily Plan.zip

Are you sure you want the brick extended OVER the slab, or setting on brick ledge that is part of the slab? That setting is in in the wall definition.

Just sent a ticket in.

Same....

Change the 2D symbols to whatever you want them to be.

Short answer. No. Long(ish) answer. Maybe. There may be a way to export the Chief model as a 3D .dxf or .dwg and then import and maybe....(?)

Honestly, I would simply draw those as a CAD box and when I had the shape right I would make a solid and give it the depth/width it needs. These are not typical stairs, so just like in the field where they won't likely be built with regular stringers, you will need to use all the tools and think it over a bit.

I don't think it will build automatically, but using the blocking(roof) tool you can draw the line of blocking in there and edit the entire line of blocking at once.

The solution is to properly specify the framing. In my 20+ years of using Chief I have never encountered this problem.

Are adding text OVER the dim line or using the text options within the dimension dialog box?
