If you are asking for chief to do this automatically I would put it in suggestions, or are you using sketchup and are asking for nathan to make it work in his sketchup plugins?

Very very easy to do using opacity maps with materials on thin stacked layers in your roof surface. Weve been able to do this for years actually, I've just personally never shared that trick before

Why wouldn't you be mad at D5 instead. 3ds and Dae are pretty common import options in most 3rd party modeling and rendering softwares

hes on Houzz a lot, posted yesterday in fact he is also on the User Of Chief Architect group here and there as Jon Allen

Joe this must be one of your own custom layers. There is no electrical-power layer. OOTB with a ganged switch we only need the "electrical" layer turned on

see video example: Voice to Project Info.mp4

So I'm not using any globals when reading the csv file in that video above. That is my personal version which works as soon I open my program. The reason I am making them open an object before printing is because I DO NOT trust that they will input there offline project directory path with escaped backslashes(because many of them don't even know how to unzip and find files from a zip archive), so the only way to avoid that is have them paste there directory into a custom field, and because of that, they have to open an object in order to get the system to update.

it stays active for the session. I really only go into it when I print. I don't need to write to globals, i use globals so that I can use them in layout easily instead of having to set up reads from both layout and plan and also it gives the end user the option to either use CSV or designer/client information. You would still need to have something to trigger the read. You dont want to be reading cvonstantly

we can define globals from a text file currently. Thats how I am doing my designer and client information

I would need a rename/add/delete in section c on that image

missing codec for mp4?

the Macro guys are using things like CSV sheets
