That is correct and that's what I put in the last line of my post. A schedule doesn't have any way of knowing what a window or door is, so there is no distinguished way for it to determine that when its rebuilding labels. But your plan view will show w ans d prefixes on the window and door labels. Otherwise you could do this with custom window and door label macros instead where you don't use the automatic label system but rather specify the label instead

Create a macro in CAD/Text/Text Macro Management/ or tap alt,c,t,r Now in your Window Schedule put This method will not be able to distinguish windows from doors if automatic_label is included in the schedule, but it will put "No.-" as a prefix in the schedule There are other more robusts ways to accomplish this automatically, this is just the simplest method with that small trade off

Took a glance at this, and am a little unclear as to what the deliverable is. This seems like just a straight CAD job that an autocad user could do. Are you looking for 3d topography and retention? Do you have this survey in a dwg format? Marking up a dwg survey is easy enough, building 3d topography with retaining walls is more work, what is the full scope of this job. the block from scratch-- Do you mean modeling the entire neighborhood block(not shown in PDF's) with neighboring parcels? services shown on a second copy--second copy of what exactly? second plan file, or put on an isolated layer or? third copy---so you need a before and after plan file, 3d? one without the retaining wall and one with the retaining wall? deliverable is just a pdf?

could show you how to build this in chief if you ever wanted to would need a custom schedule and macros. Pretty cool MM

People can always remove the 3d column... This was more for illustrating the font remapping

You're missing a step then. Explode it if it came in as a cad block ...else make sure it's a closed polyline. Can't convert a open polyline to a solid

I'm doing it a bit differently Joe. I am actually remapping for full height superscript and rich-text like outputs:

Ended up figuring out something else, but I’ve got another question for you so windows, doors, cabinets, and rooms will all go look at a hash full of user options on how and the end-user wants to display their labels and what conventions are used and then all of those objects, then get pushed to a remap function Which remap some of the character outputs to a different part of a font, and it turns out that this was creating a major bottleneck..a lineup if you will at the font remapped which pushed me to change the user options to a global hash as well as the font remapped to a global call But can you think of maybe another method for the font remapped to keep it lightweight and accessible without having to write it into each individual macro that utilizes its function? Can a lambda be accessed simultaneously by all objects like a global can?

Who has some clever methods to initialize globals without the need of opening an object? I would love it if I didnt have to remember to open something in order for my schedules to populate from initalized macros. I know Joe has asked for this a billion times. Has anyone come up with workarounds?

The pro 3 camera is very accurate since it mixes photogrammetry and a professional grade lidar sensor. Lidar from your phone will be very poor. Lidar on exterior is ok for somet things, though I personally don't see a ton of need there. I will say it only takes me 2-4 hours with a helper to measure an entire place directly into chief and take photos and do a phone lidar scan for backup.

Certainly. I typically order a matterpak which is an obj file conversion of the matterport scan then I slice it in blender as well as decimate it. Then import in units of meters as a symbol and save it in a plan file that youwill reference. Reference it so that you arent constantly rebuilding a heavy scene. (The scan can be a 1M poly on up)
