I think.....T H I N K...this process is easier now then it used to be by using an elevation offset, but I want my main level sub-floor to be 0'-0" regardless of which "level" it is on in Chief.

We have those set to show, but they randomly disappear then reappear with no real rhyme or reason.

Report it. It's a bug. We have 8 licenses in the the office and we are all having this issue after the latest update. Our cabinet fills are also all messed up now in our template.

Probably your last. Basements are on level 0 along with all the foundations. Many have tried over the years to convince me otherwise, but no go for me.

Don't export the layout page, just directly from the plan view. Sometimes I turn off my notes, but I generally just export what's on my screen and he can turn off/delete what he or she doesn't need.

If not on X18 then I like to use a material region. You create a batten and then multi copy it down the length of the wall. It will cut itself around openings and gables. It's pretty easy to do. You can also add a "framing" layer to the exterior and have it "frame" the battens, though I didn't have good luck with that method.

No. In the framing tools there is a tool to create just general framing members. I use it all the time to create 3/4" deck fascia boards.

Add them manually using the general framing tool.

Chief may work differently that HD but, do you have rooms overtop of the offending rooms that have different ceiling heights? In other words, you have a vaulted great room but upstairs a bedroom wall accidently snuck over top of the great room, that cantilever will through off the ceiling height below.

Give the joists a starting point. Look in the framing tools.

Manually draw this thickened slabs in place. Save yourself the headache.

Use a ceiling plane to get the extra framing layer.

AI missed a couple big no-nos. Please remove the powder room from opening into the living space. Please re-design the master bath to put the w/c in the space not out in the hallway. There is no door into the master. Bedroom 2. Those abutting pocket doors really aren't conducive to good flow. In fact, all the bedrooms. You have to go through the closet to get to the baths. No bueno.. You have a coat closet next to the pantry, no need for the oversized closet near the front door, use that space for a bath if needed to open into the foyer, not the living space. For a home this size, the great room seems incredibly small. There's enough room in the kitchen for a small army, but the actual living space only 6. Give the flex space to living. That's a quick overview by an actual human.
