Very easy to do this manually. My suggestion to investigate gambrel roofs still stands. I don't understand this. Is the red on a new roof?

Joe, you need to post on the Chief Architect forum in Seeking Services. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/15-seeking-services/

Why not? They should have the same accuracy as any of the other dimension tools. About the only time I use a manual dimension is when a temporary dimension to some object is not available.

Did you try the temporary dimensions, and did they work for you?

How about the plan. The green is just the color I've set for selected objects. All that does is force the software to turn the corner with the molding. L STAIRS (eric).plan

I figured it was an old house from the layout, but moving those stairs sure would make a difference Does turning off the stair fill do what you want?

Turn off the fill in the stair and landing, or show them 3D views instead of plan view. Isn't that why we use this program? Also, why not add 2 risers to the bottom section of stairs and open up the hall?

Custom countertop Uncheck Stretch to Fit on the texture to apply to the molding.

There are no stairs, or bath in this plan.

Pictures?

You are correct. Never really used X7, so wasn't changed in my defaults. X7 - Suite Test.plan

See post #2 for a plan. You would need a 2018 version to use it. Here is one done in Premier X7 that should work for you. X7 - Suite Test.plan

You will need to post the plan file -- just as you do an image. Make sure it's not open in Pro.

Consider using a Custom Countertop. Make it 1/16" thick and add a molding for the nosing.

Read up on materials. You need to make a copy of an existing one, or make a new one with the grain running in the correct direction.

I'm able to select the 3" on the right. That dimension is for the wall partly under the stair. Select the wall, move it to the right, then back to the left so it bumps into the stair. You will see that the 3" goes away. Sometimes you need to zoom in close to a dimension to be able to open it.

Selected fine here. What are you trying to do? If wanting to move the stairs over to the wall, select them and drag over. They will snap to the wall.

This is a standard stair. No 3" gaps. Have you changed any of your dimension defaults? Posting your plan file will help us understand better. Make sure it's not open in Home Designer. Where did you find this setting? I know of no way to change it.

What can you do to it? What changes and additions can you make?

You are trying to make the wall thing more complex than it is. Where is the wall located -- the 2nd floor level. Go to the 2nd floor, turn on reference display so you see the walls below, draw a wall where it needs to be. Adjust as needed. If there was an interior wall directly below, the program would probably fill this in automatically.

No need to post the same question multiple times. You might delete this one -- under options at the bottom of your post.

How is it supposed to look? Telling us what's wrong is important, but we need to understand what is correct too. Posting the plan is good too, but an image or 2 helps as well. Here I've turned off all casings, and used the Custom Backsplash tool to draw in the casing, guessing that this is the look you want.

I used Chief Premier, but could have used Pro. Just wanted to confirm what you wanted to do, so others like Law could work in it.

There is a slab tool on the toolbar. Click it, then draw a square on your plan. You have just drawn a slab. Take a 3D camera (perspective overview) and see. The entire program works basically the same way. You select what you want to draw, or an action to perform, then you draw or perform the action. Spend a few hours watching the videos linked above to get a feel for how the software works.
