Not sure where you want the cupola, but one option is to go to the Attic level and draw cupola walls. Then go to the Second Floor, turn on the Reference Display to see the cupola walls, and break the roof planes and move them back to the edges of the cupola walls. Then go back to the Attic level and draw the cupola roof. You can also create a Ceiling Hole on the second floor if the cupola is for daylighting.

Like David said, or read the tutorial starting on page 70 of the X8 User's Guide.

A Google search for Architectural Rendering Services will give you a start. The China, India, etc. companies are usually cheaper. We've used them in the past for big commercial projects - quick turn-around, though the language barrier sometimes interferes.

Page 662 of the X8 Reference Manual has very simple and clear instructions on how to create a molding profile. Be sure the profile is a single open or closed polyline (not a CAD block). It's easy to check if what you saved to your User Library is a valid profile: simply right click the item and check for the Place Molding Profile option in the menu: ...if the option isn't there, then the item isn't a valid profile.

I don't get that when I open the Room Specification dbx from the plan you uploaded: Interesting.

Or select the kitchen room, open the dbx, check the Default box for Structure>Ceiling: ...and click OK when you get the warning: now your kitchen ceiling is all the same height: ...though you may want to check what's going on upstairs above the kitchen.

I'd extend the garage foundation down below the frost depth of the lower grade. Shoot a X-Section/Elevation of the foundation wall and break/adjust the wall polyline.

The problem is you have "No Rail on Selected Edge" checked in the dbx for that landing edge: Uncheck it and you'll get a railing:

No. Go to More Reply Options and attach the file.

Still no joy on the download.

To get the glass material to change you must have a side width for the Sash. Why? I don't know, but it's necessary.

You can create a custom cabinet door symbol.

If you attach the plan file it will be easier for folks to help.

This thread may shed some light: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/9359-some-callouts-cant-be-rotated/?hl=capsule

Yes. Build 18.2.1.2x64.

Did you ever get a final answer? The same thing is happening to me:

Yep. I use a railing wall for my toilet layouts: I also use railing walls for my office cubicle panels:

Sometimes black metal mean you may have forgotten to turn photon mapping on.

This should definitely be put in the Suggestion Forum. It's a PITA to develop ceiling grid layouts for commercial projects, especially when the room is divided up into different ceiling areas. Autodesk has a very good ceiling grid tool for their products - Chief should have the same (especially as it's being advertised for light commercial work).

I did not know that. Even easier. Thank you.

Isn't that easily taken care of by simply disconnecting the upper stair run from the landing? workspace.plan

I disagree. My solution is not a work-around - it uses Chief's standard tools. But, again, maybe I don't understand what the OP is trying to achieve.

Okay. Couldn't that be taken care of in plan view with a dashed CAD line, and in 3D by unchecking 'Open Underneath'?
