You should be able to control that by simply assigning to layers, eg: Washer on "Layer X" color gray, line 10, Dryer on "Layer Y" color black, line 30

The same way. You may have to create new layers to separate the walls onto, unless you already have multiple wall layers in your plan.

Your glass wall is connecting to the wall behind the wall material region, and the edge is buried under the tile: In plan view, place a Room Divider (Invisible) wall along the face of the tile, and pull the glass wall out to snap to it. This will connect the shower "room" to the rest of the bathroom - if you want to define the shower as a separate room, turn the room divider wall 90° to connect with the tile wall. I pulled the room divider wall out to the left more than needed for illustration:

Wall types, other than Foundation Walls, by default, are assigned to the Walls, Normal layer when created. However you can assign them to a custom layer after they're drawn, and then control the fill color through that custom layer. You can also set up custom layers for the wall types listed in Defaults > Walls, which those walls will then default to when created.

Yes, as Shane said just right click and copy the layer, rename. Then you want to do a couple of things to get your clouds on the new layer. If you already have a bunch of clouds, you can group select and open, then change their layer in the Line Style tab, but that only works for the sheet you're on; go to the next sheet and repeat. If you have clouds on multiple sheets, you can also use the Layer Painter tool to go around and change them individually without opening their dialog; the tool will stay active even when changes sheets, so you only have to set the tool once to go around your layout and change all the clouds.: If you want to have future clouds go to your new layer, set that up in Defaults:

The cool groovy part is how nice they look aesthetically, and how fast and easy it is. No one wants the architecture and building features changed, or a sidewalk for a driveway. But the images are very nice; just compare your AI image to your Chief image. But yeah that's the problem- so far it can't maintain building accuracy. At least not the free versions I've tried.

Yep

Try this: ^^ Set the Newel Width to whatever you want the spacing between the deck boards. ^^ Bottom Rail Width should match your ramp width, and Horiz. Offset should be half that. ^^ You will likely need to rotate the Azek material

When you find them please send my way. Haha I'm certainly no expert but the best "luck" I've had with this type of problem is using Elevation Lines across the slope at descending levels, and as often as needed to make it smooth. Here's an example. I drew one elevation Line at 1" below the upper level of the terrain, with additional elevation lines added using the Multiple Copy tool: .... at 6" intervals, and holding the copies to follow the angled wall. Then each line was set with 1" descending elevations, for a total lowering of 50". I'm sure you need something different, but this is how I would approach it - in your case, take the elevation at the top, and at the bottom, and use one Elevation Line for each inch of drop difference. (Example X16 file attached): Terrain Slope.plan

I know, that's why you set the material to something invisible like insulation air gap. Then the roof decking is visible.

You have "Soffits" unchecked in the Roof Plane dialog, causing the program to clip the siding at the rafter level. I got it to build siding to near the roof: Before: After: Turn Soffits back on and set to 1/2", then go into Materials and set Soffits to "Insulation Air Gap:

Hard to say without looking at the plan file. Can you post it? Yes. File > Export > Export Layer Sets...

And if you're reading this and would like CPU ray tracing back, please add your support to this thread:

Same here. I can't imagine why it would just be axed, unless something about the new version made it too difficult to continue with it. Maybe add you support to the Suggestion thread I posted... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/46318-please-restore-cpu-ray-tracing/
