yes please share your propject or plan file

I really only detail exterior roofs on office time, and like you, I would keep auto on otherwise

Is there a reason you do not want to auto generate. Your old 2d is not the correct depth. If you insist, just copy the old 2d cad, regenerate the cad, and paste your old 2d cad in and delete the old, then save. Also D/W are not supposed to insert into cabinet fronts anymore, they are standalone. So you would change the symbol option to undercounter appliance and resize the height for an auto countertop to generate without the need of a cabinet

can you provide an example plan or calib file so we can show you the solution

what PDF print driver are you using?

need a lot more info. Nothing like that has ever happened. Compatability warnings usually means that you have opened a file that was done in a previous version(including patch updates) Export your macros or share your plan so we can see what you are referring to. Many of us have far more complicated macro systems than this

Is there a reason you aren't just switching to a manually drawn roof to finish up? Probably a lot faster than trying to coax auto-build

is that something other than what I am showing in this screenshot?

You likely have something besides cabinets selected

it can. Use baseline polylines

I would still use the PM unless you are constantly adding new symbols to your library, it would be easy enough to export your project file to dropbox and import on your other machine, after you do an initial backup and backup from restore. Then any periodic user library edits you could export your calib file and import on the other machine

40 hours? Just rent the software for one or two months instead of spanning it over 6. Or if you're just solving a problem on your own house use the trial version with no saving option and print the screen ..hope that helps

Paid for itself 3 times over already with roof and framing defaults giving me automatic annotations and vent calcs...to each their own.

Which part, the pattern file or the texture? have a photo reference of the one you need?

You coming to Idaho next month?

edit area paste hold right into the default residential plan but also just share it from your library as a library symbol. right click export calib file

yes they are still there, the outside glass piece just needed to be changed to glass

what do you mean you lost resolution? Looks like the glass material just needs to be converted to chiefs glass material

sorry I missed the request about it being different for different views

what suggestion? we can do this currently?

Automatic Annotation from macros by building a custom field that can report to schedules:

Is that really much different than saving your project to a cloud based folder and opening it from a cloud based folder? You are exporting(saving) to a cloud based folder and importing(opening) from a cloud based folder. The benefit being that your files are all linked and compiled with resources in the new PM function and FYI your projects are not currently saved in the cloud in PM, they are saved locally on your machine

From #Buildertrend or #JobTread Software to Chief Architect Note schedules automatically. This new system that can be built to your needs which will take output from your favorite #CRMSoftware and #estimationsoftware and/or #accountingsoftware straight into a note schedule with custom formatting the way you like it. I can even bring in accounting data into your material lists if need be. I will build these systems custom to your requirements and on a first come first serve basis. Checkout this video as I showcase it pulling from a Buildertrend output directly into a note schedule with custom formatting and simple single-click notes from csv files. This is a great way to reduce your overhead from tedious and redundant data entry and limit your liability by taking annotations direct from your software. See video:
