You can always use wetransfer for free to share files This is just an automatic cad conversion from a top-down projected orthographic view Depends on your scope of work, but the most common approach would be to re-draw it in Chief. Sketchup floor plans or nearly next to useless In other softwares for creating condocs, just like a chief file would be useless to a Revit user. You can use it for reference, which btw, I would import this into a separate plan file and reference it. I'm going to make this video free for today only, its usually in my paywalled YouTube It's for matterport but the same concepts apply

You didnt need to create a custom door, you could instead use a framed glass panel door and change the glass material to a classification of air gap, such as insulation air gap. Regardless, to answer your question. Change that from an opening to a right or left door and apply your custom door. Let me know if you need more specific instructions

its not set to anything because you didnt provide your global number formatter

Nice you got it figured out. You can cad block your polyline and notes and even turn this utility into a conditional switch btw...kind of a fun utility for some. I'll have to find it but I did put into YouTube or this forum a script for calculating curvature of earth and polar conversions for correcting from sheet space to world coordinates. Might be able to find it or punch that into an ai script utility. It would only really matter for larger lots

If your devices like your keyboard or mouse can create macros then you can have it punch in a sequential shortcut to toggle the library browser then type in some prefix code for your library object. That's the only way you can accomplish it, their is no native hotkey assignability to library objects

Thank you I appreciate that thanks as well. I love trying to develop some thick skin and an open mind. this thread made me realize that I wanted to move the title block info closer on the rolled edge for non-standard right sidebar layouts..so hey I got something out of it

FYI my templates come pre-packaged with 6 different title block styles in various sheet sizes and include different color washes for the first page Non traditional title blocks still have an information block at the rightmost roll-edge (To the negative reaction. Not sure why I earned that, my name was used to describe a layout style that does go against the typical standard, and I have many different styles, of which are designed and offered up here for free for reference... show some love, same team!)

file sizes are monstrous because it pulls in all of the textures for your files. Please note, if Chief does introduce their cloud management system in X18 it will rely on managed mode, so it might be a good time to switch over in a few months to start getting used to it FYI you can pull those assets out of the calibz file with a winzip utility Theoretically we will be able to authorize another account holder for any project of our choosing from within managed mode. In terms of knowing what to send..think of "Export" as "Save As" which then requires one more step..deleting your project from project management since your exported copy is the most up-to-date

A style palette will only save as default if the setting you’re trying to store in the style palette is currently set as the active default. To make this work correctly: Change the sill on your window to something different. Set that window to default. Change the sill back to your brick option. Then save it to the style palette. This ensures the style palette recognizes the updated setting as the new default.

You can use notes, they publish their xy position, then interpolate length and angle with macros

change your window default, so that when you change to your brick sill, it isnt default.

If I had to venture a guess from Chief’s perspective... and I realize this may not be what people want to hear... they likely assume that a perpetually licensed, older version of Home Designer is sufficient for the typical hobbyist user. To put it in practical terms, when you’re designing your own project, you’re potentially saving several thousand dollars in professional design fees. In the broader context of a construction or renovation budget, those fees are often one of the smaller line items. For example, I recently spent $24,000 on drainage work and concrete steps alone. In that scenario, $600 for software is arguably one of the least expensive components of the overall investment. Hell I spent $600 on the materials for 6' of redwood fence the other day. When viewed against the total cost of a project, the software expense becomes relatively minor... especially considering the level of control and savings it can provide over the life of the build. If I were to guess, I am sure ai and cheaper e-design services are not helping the hobbyist cause.

Also FYI you can rename your Column To Include to %"Label";"Item"% so that the schedule prints Item but reminds you that its from the label

are you using managed mode?
