    Why not just use the material lists? Otherwise macros..the all encompassing conditional macro would be worth charging for. The simple macro that you use at risk of your own peril is %upper_layers[0].area.ceil.round% keep in mind this wont report correctly for gable ends unless you have it set to balloon frame

    a photo of what you are trying to achieve would be helpful

    is your signature up to date? I might make it more clear that you are on X12 if that's the case

    Cut and fill can easily be done in blender which is free. Export existing and proposed terrain, generate volumes from them, then duplicate and cut one from the other and vice versa to get your cut and fill. They will report volume in blender

    I think I remember that you bought my X17 templates? If so then change the reference plan file for spec to the CBC reference file and that will setup the correct spec on G1. Those templates were build for California first so just lookup Irvine's requirements and go from there. I personally set the expectation that I will receive one revision. It makes me more efficient...instead of chasing a bunch of one-off obscure requirements from a contracted plan-checker I just let them come back to me with what they need

    put it on floor 1 and it will make this process a lot easier and more dynamic, that way your stepping happens above your FF and makes use of a stem wall pony wall and your furring wall

    these are all just terms of relativity..whats actually happening under the hood is you have a start and an and point and then it is rotating a certain number of degrees. 4 in 12 isnt just a number style, you dont have to have that number style be active in order to utilize it. It is just being translated into degrees, but references a start and end point. so change your start and end point. Another caveat, with polar checked it will flip if you start drawing in the direction you want. Drawing to sheet left is different than drawing sheet right. So start drawing left and hit tab and then your negative will do what you want

    This is what a backup does, it stores all of your files in a place of your choosing as an archive

    For those that are curious, it changes to a double line when you have a difference in setting from the rooms on either side of the wall

    I've run into it in previous versions of X17 to the OP, do you have grid snaps turned on, have you considered right aligning the text... and if you have auto width turned on for the text box consider turning it off. the program may try and size the box before the macro fires. Why are you using that particular macro? I would say that one is a risky one, there are so many conditions I can think of where that becomes a liability. Couldn't this be handled better in a detail or ceiling height macro?
