Moldings and lights questions

Hi!
I’ve been struggling with lighting for a long time and I have some general questions I haven’t solved yet.
In the “Electrical Service Specification”, what’s the “direction angle” made for? When I modify it, nothing happens on the light or, at least, I can’t notice anything.
In general, when I make the final render in physically based view, the result is too dark, no matter the configuration of the lights. It always looks like being in twilight and it seems lighting is never enough. When this happens I change the exposure to manual and adjust saturation and brightness. Of course, I set the background light too.
Anyway, lighting doesn’t improve a lot. The same way, I adjust sunlight to “use generic sun (mid-day)” but the final result keeps on looking dark. Am I missing something?
*Ops! I forgot! Another doubt I have is I can't project general shadows of objects. When I want to do this I just click on "casts shadows" but most of objects on the floor don't show anything. They look like floating and that makes the scene doesn't look realistic.

I have been trying to place a rectangular polyline onto a Layout file that has a solid grey fill. All the fill settings are set to grey as well as the default CAD layer color. Despite this when I exit from the polyline specification box the rectangle will still only show as a solid black. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this and make the polyline boxes be filled with a solid grey?

I have been trying to find a way to size windows based on the overall window size including the interior/exterior molding. I am mostly sure this isn't possible but last time I thought that someone here showed me a way to do exactly what I wanted.
Thanks in advance.

I'm still fairly new to Chief and have mostly learned from just playing around with things. Is there a way to create a custom-shaped section for a different material? For example, I am trying to make a curved pathway of wood, while the surrounding material is carpet.
I was able to create the pathway using polylines, and then changed the fill to a wood-plank pattern on the plan view. But I am trying to see the differentiated pathway in the rendered perspective view.
Should I be using the polyline tools to do this or is there a better way?

Hello!
I hope everybody is enjoying this year that’s ending.
I’d like making a question before 2023 comes. Is there a way to make some kind of “up holes” in a wall in order to set some puck lights up too?
First, I tried with a wall niche but it’s too thin. I don’t know if I’ll have to use a pony wall or other but I have never worked with them so I’m feeling a bit lost. Any idea?
Many thanks and Happy New Year!
