  1. Right click on one of them. Do you have Send To Back, or something similar. They are being drawn after the countertop, and need to be in a different drawing group.
  2. Is this what you want? You need to turn on the display of the layers you want to see.
  3. Build the roof with the ceiling at 8'. Turn off auto rebuild roof if it is on and raise the ceiling to 10'.
  4. I'd use a soffit placed in the back of the cabinet.
  5. You created a room by enclosing the space with a railing. Select the room (the slab will select first, so Tab to select the room). Open it and uncheck roof over this room.
  6. Open the balcony room and uncheck Roof Over This Room.
  7. See this thread for some info.

    Garden windows?

    Look in the Library/Bonus Catalogs.
  9. You can draw in a stem wall using the slab tool. In an elevation, you can add CAD work to show the stem wall. Changing the wall definition also works. Here I made everything except the main layer for the upper wall Opening No Material. Don't use a Framing Overview for this.
  10. What didn't work? And what exactly are you trying to do? I just tested selecting multiple objects, copy/paste into a new plan. Also using Edit Area works. You can create an Architectural Block and copy/paste it, or even add it to your library for reuse.
  11. I believe you, but that's just showing the position of an invisible object.
  12. This is from Chief Premier, so may not be available in your version.
  13. There is nothing to be visible. There is no fixture, just an invisible light source. All you see is the glow. Why do you want to select in a camera view? Start a new plan. Draw one room with a roof. Add a light and see how it works.
  14. Change its height. It's probably in the cabinet instead of on top. They are sometimes difficult to select. Use the Shift-Select method. Click the Add Lights tool, then holding Shift, marquee around the light to select it.
  15. Using the Adjust Material Definition tool, you can see their source.
  16. 3D menu -- Lighting David is referring to adding a standard light source -- the Add Lights tool.

    Porch hight

    For the door, draw a wall under the stairs and place a door in it. You are asking about floor structure thickness, and not floor height. This is probably another limitation of the software. To make it thicker, add material to the finish floor -- which is currently nothing (0").
  18. I tested with the 2018 trial.
  19. I checked my trial of Architectural and you can select multiple objects, but can only open a single selected object. Another ridiculous limitation of the software. FYI, Pro does not have this issue. Sorry -- I did not read your initial post about selecting and opening, just noticed the reply by Rookie65.

    Porch hight

    On the side of what? Have you changed the floor height?
  21. It only works for same item types. You can select multiple walls (railings) -- just make sure that's what you are selecting. I tested in Architectural 2018, and don't believe it's a new feature.
  22. Hold Control, not Alt if on a PC. Command if on a Mac. You can also shift select items. This works for many object types, walls, cabinets etc. To select all upper cabinets, first click the upper cabinet tool. Now holding shift, marquee around the uppers you want to select.
  23. Are the templates missing from the templates folder, or just not available from Pro? You might try an install (reinstall) of Pro and use the Repair option. It will replace missing items. You could also report this to Tech Support. They often know of problems that effect multiple people.
  24. Please post your plan file -- close Pro first.
  25. Should not happen. Could you post the plan file? Make sure suite is closed.
