Step 4.1 of the ITC fails on a new project. Instead of a door, I get a gallery. That's right, a gallery... I start with an empty sheet, I make a slab, then walls with the magic wand. The result, at this step, is a closed building, including an additional slab for the roof. I stress this, because the roof really surprised me. Then I add a door, just like in the ITG, and as soon as I click to center it, I get a gallery, all the way to the other side of the building, where it ends with a hole. Is this a standard feature? What am I doing wrong?
I wish I could post the .pln, but the website does not allow it.

the horizontal gallery is caused by the door,
the vertical gallery by the window.

Looks to me like you haven't magic wanded walls around your slab perimeter but rather magic wanded a polygon shaped wall that matches you slab perimeter.
This will give you a solid mass of wall that will behave exactly like this when you place a door or window - i.e. they cut right the way through.
Check the construction method for the wall before you magic wand it.

Barry, I reached the same conclusion last night, but did not manage to solve the problem. I repeated the same steps over and over again; at times, I get proper walls around the slab, but most of the times I get one big wall. I'll try again this night, with extra care, to see if it is a bug or a fault of mine.

out of common sense, having a curvy slab, I selected the polygonal geometry instead of the straight geometry. I tried them both, and I can see that the straight geom. generates proper walls, while the polygonal geom. generates ... one thick wall. This solves the problem, as I am getting acquainted with AC's peculiarities. I hope I'll find an explanation of this somewhere...
[Another peculiarity is the 3d viewing buttons. Why using nine buttons (five zoom, panorama, orbit, explore and autoscale), instead of a Google-earth-like navigation system? :-]
Thank you laszlonagy.

Ahh... I do not have a scrolling wheel mouse. I have a mac...
Is it possible to activate that feature in a different way?

Any $30 wheel mouse (I like the simple Logitechs) will work

It looks great with a Mac and is good value for money.
