You can get rid of it by raising your garage doors 1/16"...if that works for you. Not ideal, I know.

There's no plan attached. Was that overlooked?

It means there are too many surfaces for that export type. Just try a different 3d file type like a 3D Collada file.

I'm not sure what the difference would be. Chief is automatically measuring the crown molding and displaying it in 'feet' rounded up. It is a measurement of length. If you'd like it to be more accurate than the rounded unit of 'feet' you could change the unit to inches. Simply double click on the 'count' field and select a different measurement unit. The price should automatically adjust but you should double check that.

I believe I mentioned it was the simplest method that I have found. Are you able to post a video to demonstrate your simpler method of drawing accurate horizontal or vertical lines in elevation or section view with snaps disabled? I love learning new techniques!

Until proper snapping is brought back, the simplest solution I've found is to draw the line and snap the end of the line to desired point, noticeably off-angle. Then relocate the end of the line and the horizontal or vertical snap will be active and should be simple and easy to hit.

I did send this in to TS as 'lost functionality' and they agreed. They were not aware that this had changed and I would expect this to be fixed, however it may help if more people report it directly to TS.

Here's a video demonstrating the issue. CAD LINE SNAP PROBLEM.mp4

I will use this approach or another approach where I paint or assign the existing materials with a copy of each material with the pattern removed. In the example below, I set the materials using the copy method described above. For this particular project it was quicker than cad masks.

The exterior wall is setup incorrectly. The siding layer is set as framing. Also, this may be intentional but the wall has no sheathing or drywall layers. There's probably not much point using 3 dimensional cabinets, fixtures and furniture if the walls don't have all the finish layers.

There has been a bit of a loss of accuracy when drawing lines in section/elevation views. When the end of the line snaps to a cross section line, it can lose it's ability to remain straight. This is new to X15 and I have raised this issue with TS. Obviously I don't know if this is what the OP was alluding to.

We don't know what version you have and some techniques wouldn't be available in order versions. There are new materials that have that appearance and they look great but they are 2D. If you need 3D, you can very easily use the multiple copy to drag and distribute just about any type of object. You could use a partition, a 3d solid, a shelf, a millwork symbol, the list goes on. You can use a distribution polyline. You could use a railing wall which is what I've shown below. Lots of ways but manually placing solids is no bueno!

It's possible the issue is based on the type of object, or other settings within that plan file. To analyze this issue it would be most helpful if you did a video recording demonstrating your issue and attached the plan file. Otherwise, all I can tell you is that I don't have that issue. Someone with intuition that spans a further distance than mine may know exactly what's going on in your plan!

All you need to do is move the floor column to row 2, then cut and paste the schedule. (ctrl-x, ctrl-alt-v).

That reason is because that's the ceiling elevation for those rooms. You can raise the ceiling elevation for the Living Rm and the Dining Rm to +/- 222". This will then require some adjustments to walls / attic walls and perhaps other items.

Without knowing what type of pdfs you are using in your layout, I'd recommend a pdf to image instead of pdf to cad. Pdf to cad can be a real mess.

Move them to the 2nd floor. Select, ctrl-x, move to 2nd floor, ctrl-alt-v. To draw plan view electrical connections, I typically use a break line on both floors to 'interrupt' the wiring line. Others may have better ways.

Stairs: Press shift, then select the upper stair and uncheck "Open Risers".

Open the ceiling plane, uncheck "Use Room Ceiling Finish"

If the radius of the wall is certain, then one way to make a symbol that is curved properly would be to use a door / window / wall niche. These objects can be curved to the wall. The door tool will allow you to create / specify a panel and convert it into a curved symbol to use as a wainscot panel. Moldings for the base and cap are the simple part. Further suggestions would be somewhat dependent on the style of wainscot that is desired.

If you had auto-build foundations turned on, it should build. Can you rebuild the foundation? Or, just draw in your foundation walls and then make all the necessary adjustments.
