Neither do I. Those numbers are (were) useful.

Use the Reference Manual. I've mentioned this to you in other posts. It will explain so much, with pictures! Begin on page 788. Here is the link: X10 Reference Manual.

No, but selecting the Roof Plane will highlight its baseline. I set the Roofs, Baseline layer to a bright green color and a dashed line style; this helps me identify the baselines, especially when they are highlighted.

Chief Architect places Floor 1 at 0'-0". You cannot change this default behavior. You can, however, set the Terrain Perimeter elevation relative to Floor 1 within the Terrain Specification dialog box:

The Recent Files menu may helpful: You can set the number of files shown in this menus here:

Your Roof Baselines are floating in space: Select the baseline and drag it up to the wall's main layer: This will correct the height of the roof plane, which you can then join to the other planes: I highly suggest you download a copy of the Reference Manual and study the chapters on roof planes.

Reference Manual! Begin on page 788. Within 2 minutes you'll be drawing manual shed roof planes.

Just place the roof manually and Chief will automatically build attic walls for you. Also, you'll need to change these two invisible walls to visible:

There is a layer for each type of area that Chief will display in the room label: Just turn off whichever area you don't want displayed.

Which are the "strange protrusions"? From my examination of your plan file, it appears that you're getting exactly what you've drawn.

Can't do it in Chief. I suggest Sketchup, which will create any font installed on your system as 3D text: With a little work you can do embossing, then import it into Chief:

You can approximate it using cabinets like Russian nesting dolls. This example is three cabinets: 1 for the outer enclosure, a 2nd for the inner enclosure, and a 3rd for the drawers: cabinet.calibz You could also model the drawers as a symbol and insert them as an appliance into the 2nd cabinet - this would reduce the number of cabinets required to two.

My method is to add only the rigid as an additional component of the slab - this ensures the rigid gives me a thermal break between the top of the footing and the slab. I don't bother with near-zero thickness elements like vapor barriers. I don't think it's worth attempting to model things like vapor barriers, isolation joints, etc. - I use notes, specifications, and CAD details to cover that stuff.

You can achieve the top aluminum part by manipulating the window frame top width: Use the frame depth and inset values to place the window within the wall: Then shoot an Elevation, create a Detail from View, draw a polyline for the arched soldier course, copy/paste it into the Elevation and covert it to a polyline solid: Or use the method described in the knowledge base article, which creates individual bricks:here.

I suspect the download issue is a Windows error. Do you have any version of Sketchup installed on your machine? Does your browser have options for opening vs saving the file? For example, with Microsoft Edge, if you click Open and not Save, then the file will be downloaded but fail to launch and may give you an error similar to what you're experiencing.

When did you get this error - when downloading from the 3D Warehouse, when trying to open the file from your file manager, or when trying to import into Chief? Are you using the File>Import method or drag 'n drop method?

How to add your signature:

If you want to import a full layerset, you'll need to create a Revit drawing with at least one entity (can just be a simple line) on each Revit layer. Then import into Chief using the Import Drawing Assistant (File>Import>Import Drawing (DWG, DXF...). As you go through the steps, check all the layers you want imported: ...and map the layers to Chief Architect layers by name: Then delete all the useless geometry that was imported, and you're left with the layers as they were set up in Revit. Be aware that line weights, line styles, etc. may need adjustment within Chief. You can also massage some of the export settings within the Revit export setup:

You can import DWG or DXF into Chief, so export from Revit using one of those two formats:

Have you tried using the Define Material>Texture>Scale settings? I created this tile border using Material Regions assigned a copy of the floor tile Material with adjusted Scale and Offset values:

You can always open the Symbol, and rotate it with 3D>Rotation:

Select the Object that the dimension references, such as a Wall, etc.; the relevant Dimension Line(s) will become highlighted - then simply click on the number you want to change.

So the model displays in a 3D view (Orthographic Overview, Perspective Overview, etc.), but nothing displays in Plan view? Have you checked 1) the Plan view Layerset, and 2) the Plan view Current Floor?

My guess is the square countertop is actually the custom one, and the one with the molding is auto-generated by the base cabinet. Remove the molding from the base cabinet definition, then assign the molding to the custom countertop and select whichever edges you don't want molding on.
