Seems like a silly question but, are you sure you are hitting DELETE on the right and not at the top?

You are not looking at the silhouettes, you are looking at the "image CAD" of people. You are looking for this library... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/1222

Then you would order a 1-1/2" or 3" dishwasher end and Chief would count it as a cabinet and place your countertop. Just like the guys in the field are going to do it.

Is the Jamb turned off? Did you increase the size of the opening and not re-frame the wall?

Speaking from experience, find the manufactures specs on that window and the price. Sticker shock generally means a change to the drawings.

I generally just add 2 cuts, 1 at each side of the dormer, at the fascia line and pull the main roof back to the ridge line. It will separate into 2 roof planes at that point.

The information lives in the materials list but, while in elevation camera create a polyline and aim that polyline to a custom schedule.

Don't use a railing wall, turn the small section of railing into a Symbol. Draw a section of railing and while you have it selected, look for the SYMBOL TOOL at the bottom. Select that tool and now that section will be a drop in and won't have the wall properties.

Same. Keeps my story pole dims the way I want them. @EmmaCox once you add some rooms to the basement the default base trim should be there. Check your template plan to ensure you don't have trim turned off by default and now it isn't showing. I leave it on and just remove it from unfinished areas, so you should have base trim in there.

I would love to see that plan built. I am having a hard time imagining how to build that, let alone create it in Chief.

There isn't one. Chief doesn't do backwards compatibility. Once a plan or layout is opened and saved in a newer version, the older version can't ready it. You can go to the older version archive folder and find your last plan used in that version, but not the newer ones.

Just make one CAD polyline and drag it over the area you want counted and point it to your custom schedule.

The manufacture catalogs are produced/updated by the manufacturers. You can create your own catalog much, much faster than waiting for them to update theirs. Take the Therma-Tru catalog for instance. The catalog in Chief is useless unless you need one of those 4 or 5 doors. Better to make my own.

FWIW...we color code our new walls and the framers love it. Very easy to read.
