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

we're asking for user customizable options. AHJ's have a myriad of different requirements for our title sheets, so we need to be able to customize them

I have a soffit vent calculator built into my pro plan which works well, it works along side specifying high low venting or just soffit venting etc. and works with auto or manual built roofs by building it into the roof defaults. One of the challenges of building a system like this is that projected overhang does NOT work if you are not supplying a soffit in the case that you are trying to build a vent calc for open eave block venting.

you have to export your caproject files if you want to then import them as plan and layout files

try all of the usual, restart etc. x17 official is snappier for me then all previous betas

Chief already does an automatically framed common sill on mulled windows, so you would just manually place your 2x4 cripple/trim

I would strongly suggest switching to x16 and then use the PBR raytrace option which subsequently fixes the light bleed issue. OR it might be fixed if you add a roof

Are you asking for this for medeeks framing tools in SketchUp?

Very curious to see your custom stairs

Yeah I just switched to them. Gonna give them the ole college try

and this is advanced tags:

Project management in X17 will solve a lot of your issues I don't usually promote my YT membership here but I have a whole playlist on cloud that would very much help you understand more about the cloud and how it works. You absolutely do not need to be logging into someone else's dropbox to be sharing project files. Dropbox is built for collaboration and has awesome sharing tools so you can be logged into your own account and by syncing to the cloud and accessing the same files.. That being said, having files that are syncing through a server/client like dropbox means that the files live on his machine and are being synced to the cloud, but that does not mean that files that he has in layout on his machine will be synced with it to the cloud. Those files could be anywhere on his machine, and chief is simply accessing those files on his machine wherever they live. If they are not set in the dialog box to "Save in Plan" then they are just being accessed on his machine. Chief will always look for assets present in plan or layout within the data folder or within the local directory of where the layout or plan file exists. So if when he attaches these files, they are in the same folder as the plan file, then they would not be missing links if he was syncing that folder with you.

just FYI it will be better for most people using unmanaged mode to keep the project file as a project file and it will prompt them about how they would like to import the assets that are included in the archive file. Also note that some people will be using advanced tags which behave and display very differently than the folder tags you are showing. Which is fine, as you said, this is the way you are using the system

where? and what symbol? the insulation fill style? and where are you wanting to see that in wall type definitions? If you are trying to designate something as insulation in a cross section view with the Auto Detail tool you simply select a layer in your wall type definition and check the box that says "Auto Detail as Insulation"

most of those icons are tools I've built from style pallets and I drew those icons, so hotkeys don't access them all that well since you need a multistage hotkey to get to the library. For example, one of those tools just takes a swipe to make a room full of oven base cabinets hood lined wall cabinets and double oven full height cabinets, or a swipe to make 4 rooms be conditioned or considered coverage

its a 36" ultrawide, I just record part of the screen for videos like this, and I have the icon size pumped up for videos

Thats not me, thats chieftalk...it automatically removes files once my user id hits its file size storage cap

This is EXACTLY why I do my walkout basements on level 1, so we can isolate stem walls from custom pony walls in a stepped and furred foundation
