All framing is controlled by way of "Edit - Default Settings - Framing - Wall Framing". You can also manually select - open the framing member's dialog box and change that selected framing member's size that way, one at a time. DJP

I cannot tell you "why" because I am not a software engineer or Architect. What I CAN suggest is that you simply copy-paste one of the existing framing plates to where it is missing, then using your "Control Key" or "Command Key" (Mac) to move it into place. DJP

I commonly so not use them myself, I do not use them. DJP

This should be communicated to Tech Support as a possible "Bug" report. DJP

Library Browser - Lighting - Cabinet Lighting - Above Cabinet Then you manually locate the height above floor you want the light to be. DJP

Well this is the forum for Home Designer software and not Chief Architect Premier, never the less, I looked in my X15 and it is where it has been for many, many versions: Edit - Default Settings - Dimensions - Primary Format, where you can change the displayed units as you wish (decimal, inches only, feet and inches, etc.), you can choose under Secondary Format to also display metric dimension units along with Imperial, take a look, again, please.

Go to "Default Settings - Framing - Wall Framing" and change the spacing to 24" O.C.-then rebuild wall framing using the new default setting. DJP

Take a look at "File - Print - Center Sheet" and see if that helps, please. DJP

Yes, you do get what you pay for, Chief Premier costs $2,000,00 per year compared to HD Pro. DJP

I assume you have Home Designer Pro? If so, Pro has no ability to create custom layers as does its big brother Chief Architect Premier. That said you "Best Friend" is called "Layer Display Options" ( see Tools - Display Options") dialog where in Floor plan and a different Display Options dialog (they all look a like) for each of the different camera types, where any named layer can be made visible or invisible at the end users' choice with in plan view or any camera type view. DJP

Maybe this will help, take a look, please. DJP

No one knows what is right for your design other than YOU. Learning how to fully use this software is a process of study and practice over time, driven by your own sense of necessity. In order to help you, I need more detailed data about what is "right" in your eyes. DJP

Probably not setting "Set chamfer size to non-zero", no value = no chamfer or radius, always. DJP

Library - Update Library Catalogs, take a look. DJP

Your posted image is so small, I cannot see it clearly. DJP

I have Chief Architect premier versions 11-25 (X1-X15) and Home Designer titles as well paired with the Chief titles/version all on Windows 11. Rendering problems stem from out of date hardware or their software drivers. DJP

Check in "Edit - Preferences - Edit - Behaviors - Concentric" to see if that, is in fact checked to be operative. That is the only thing I can think of that might be happening. DJP

Opposed to deleting it, try setting its value to zero instead. You can in Home Designer Pro and Chief Premier remove the toe kick but in Architectural you must set it to a low value (1 mm or 1/16") so it is a lot less visible. DJP

I just checked and that is NOT how it functions on my PC, you move one side, only that side moves, not concentrically or from the center. I have NO idea what is different between your computer and mine. DJP

Pony wall polylines are adjustable in Elevation cameras, take a look. DJP
