Was taught that in Arch school in the 80's and have always done it that way. Sometimes I put 2 different corner to corner, but always at least 1.

The walk-out basement wall is the bearing wall. Simply show it. You're overthinking it. I have SPVs for foundation and for floor plan, but on a walk-out that framed wall would show on both and I use a layer for CAD, Foundations to trace the lower "stem wall" and show it on the foundation plan only. These are accomplished with saved plan view and layer/default sets with those views.

Those aren't 3D, those are 2D details with the color turned on. Just turn your color on, and add a colored fill to your text boxes.

You put a lot in there for a software newbie. Start by fixing your foundation. Turn the auto foundation feature on and change your default foundation to slab. Once you that sorted out, turn auto foundation off, and now you can go to the garage room and add the framing layers to the top of the slab, along with the sub-floor and finished floor layer to get what you want in there.

If you really want your Battens to have some "pop", make your own with the material region tool. They will automatically trim around doors, windows, and the eaves on a gable.

Balloon framed exterior walls. The check box is in the wall dialog box.

@vikiw_bend take a bit of time to set up a layer set for sending exterior elevations to layout. You will love the results and the time saved down the road will more then make up for any time lost up front.

Make sure you have auto attic walls turned on.

I know that those can be built into roof/ceiling trusses, but not sure I have seen them in floor trusses. The Tray ceiling tool within Chief won't build a tray into a floor platform though as far as I know, be it truss or conventional lumber.

Framing should be the only main layer. Everything else is either outside, or inside.

My guess is you have the wall main layers set up to do that. You need to fix your wall layers.

You have your sub-floor and flooring layers checked as framing. Open the floor structure tab and uncheck the FRAMING box for those layers.

Those borders don't automatically update to the paper size, you need to manually adjust those.

Zoom in to the top of this plan pic...

Change the label of that view.

You need to set up a layer set for those interior design shots. You have more control over those lines with a dedicated layer set for your interior elevations.

In X15, I personally have noticed, that for balconies and decks if you move a wall during the design process it will delete all framing and flooring in those said spaces. Hit the REBUILD framing tool and see of that works.

Apples & Oranges, and you don't have to buy the subscription. You are free to use your current version for as long as you like.

Not really. Multiple walls can't exist in the same location. Will STLYE PALLETS help with exterior colors?

How are you generating? You should be able to simply draw the new foundation walls and not effect anything else.

I literally have no words...well, except for those...
