  1. Your rooms should ALL use the default floor structure (which should be defined). This will allow the floor framing to build uniformly. Currently the framing is being separated because there are different types. Select all rooms on each floor and ensure Floor Structure - Default is checked. Open Default Settings and edit the Floor/ Ceiling Platform defaults. Ensure the framing layer is set to trusses (or whatever you prefer). Rebuild floor framing.
  2. Post your plan using Google Drive / Dropbox.
  3. Hi Jim, there are a couple of issues here that are very easy to solve. The elevation regions are too close to each other. Resize the lower elevation region to butt against the low side of the retaining walls. This will provide some space for the terrain to adjust between the two regions. You have (2) terrain breaks buried along the center of the retaining walls. These terrain breaks still have the default transition distance of 120". Lower that value to 1". That should take care of the issue:)
  4. There are times where this is suitable. If a solid is the simplest, then yeah, use it.
  5. Dropbox? Google Drive? The plan file is essential to get others to dig into your issue and join the conversation to find specific solutions.
  6. When you send a drawing to layout, you will have the opportunity to add the scale factor of the drawing in the drawing's label. This can be set as a default for layout box labels so that each drawing always displays the correct drawing scale. The following video may help you and if I understand your question accurately, the most helpful information starts around the 20 minute mark of the video. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/48/creating-layouts-and-construction-documents.html
  7. If your walls are named very nicely, then a simple macro to include in the OIP would be: %containing_wall.automatic_description%

  9. For those who are interested, the 3d file for this furniture and (other models) can be found on the manufacturer's website. You will need to create an account in order to download, which I did not do. Might be worth reaching out to the manufacturer to see if they have a different model type that could be made available and if they'd be interested in creating a Chief library of their products. https://www.kellex.com/products/tranquility-senior-living-furniture/t-removable_seating/HC09313-05RS_SCARLET_LOUNGE_CHAIR_W__REMOVABLE_SEAT_DECK/ May I recommend to the OP or other's who are requesting file specific help...post some files, please! It'll be more fun and much more helpful! Example...could someone tell me if I should I serve these cookies to family over the holidays?
  10. If you want to send me a PM with a link to download your plan file, I'll see what I can come up and get back to you with suggestions. I can sign an NDA if that helps.
