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'?

I'm confused why winders won't work. Maybe I don't understand exactly what you're trying to achieve, but here are the settings I would propose: Make the lower run winders: Then turn off the handrail at the wall:

Have you played with making the stairs winders? https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/7408-notching-stairway-around-walls/?hl=winders#entry65869

Yeah, I don't define the structure on a room by room basis. In my post #4 I was just making an observation, not complaining or making a feature request.

I believe we must be thinking of two different situations. Imagine a rectangular foundation 20' long by 12' wide. I can span the 12' width with 1-3/4" x 9-1/2" I-joists. Maybe in once section, say below a bathroom suite, I need to beef things up to 2-3/4" I-joists. This condition doesn't require any "seam" or beam or bearing wall because it's a single span. If I divide the 12' width at some point to create two spans, one with 1-3/4" I-joists and the other with 2-3/4" I-joists, then of course I'd need a bearing beneath the transition. But that is not the condition I was thinking of when I responded to Johnny.

Floor structure with different depths may require this, but not widths.

Room Specification>Structure>Floor Structure allows us to assign a framing Material to a Floor Structure layer. When I set one room to use 1-1/2" lumber, and an adjacent room to use a 2-1/4" I-joist, then build the framing, the framing doesn't respect these different Material definitions. Why? Shouldn't it build 1-1/2" lumber joists beneath the first room, and 2-1/4" I-joists beneath the second room?

The text issue can be fixed by opening the details in AutoCAD and exploding all the Mtext to Text. That will give you the correct text justification when imported into Chief. AFAIK the arrows will have to be fixed in Chief, but it's pretty easy to select them all and change the arrow head type back to "closed filled". The lineweights are being imported into Chief accurately - at least as far as they are defined within the AutoCAD drawing. I suggest opening in AutoCAD, select everything, and change the Lineweight to ByLayer, then during import map the the drawing file layers to "Chief Architect layers by name." This will give you control of Chief linestyles on a by-layer basis.
