  1. Just do what I do, export the file..its the same as Save As but better. then it lives in your cloud service. A lot of additional function comes with PM. TMM does not have a way to have subfolders, Lance is just showing an image of a suggestion.. it took me a second to understand what that graphic was as well
  2. Missing step is probably what carrie mentioned, converting your objects to symbols. that tutorial covers every step, you might go through it at half speed. Also note that there is a link to the plan used as a utility for making the arches in the description of the video. That plan makes it a lot easier to make your arched cabinet
  3. It's just tricking you I to thinking that .. it's been a problem forever, that's just showing you that layer set because you're in that view. When you switch back to another view and look at a value being reported from a macro it will not be that section layer set. Section and elevation layer set conditional checks don't work.. I switched to showing window callouts in section for that reason since I couldn't get my window labels to conditionally change to just schedule number in elevations for this exact reason
  4. He only drew the walls where he needed them. There are no walls where the cabinets are You may have bumps turned off, either turn off bumps and place your cabinet or hold the ctrl key when moving your cabinets to override bumps
  5. Start a new thread for this. Are you using plot lines for your view ?
  6. See my response from earlier. Use plot lines ..send your new and send your existing in the same xy sheet space using plot lines
  7. Old mouse disease. Blow compressed air into your mouse. Certain mfr like Logitech are known for this
  8. Haha I hear you. Its hard to tell you a better way without being hands on. Sounds like iron Mike stores a lot of those macros in the object and the object then lives in the library. So it brings in the macro only when used
  9. been asking for this for foreverrrr My macros now are just big lambda hash outputs so that I dont have as many and call what i need to call. I use a similar concept but implemented in a different way, since its personally easier for me to distribute a template instead of distributing library items. I use TMM to store globals which store procedures. Library objects then will never have a conflict with the plans macro versions and the plans macros always dictate the version. I got sick of fighting the library storing macros, so they dont anymore, they just have a call and self execute once they hit the plan. I have a polyline that warms up everything up for me nice and toasty as a pre-cache for the globals so that they don't rebuild every time an object is placed
  10. The only way is to create a backup and then to export everything from this folder settings folder PLEASE log a suggestion, its a sorely missed feature
  11. Lmao.. surprised this guy put that up for his cover art.. I don't even need to click on that, bedrooms without closets, a powder room serving this wing, an island up against a wall.. get outta here
  12. Please share your project file. You can use free services like we transfer if you don't have a cloud service
  13. If you use the Edit area tool and select everything that's visible with a large marquee selection and then use copy paste and paste this into a brand new empty plan Are the issues still there?
  14. keep in mind onedrive does have file caching file history which can be restored. if you have the calibz files then simply open them in X10, otherwise if you dont my best guess would be to go back to a windows backup and extract them
  15. Are you using the beam tool? Are you using a post-to-beam railing? If you are using post to beam railing, that oll will only build to your ceiling height. What you are showing is your soffit, and the soffit will always build to the outside of your platform. You could do a railing offset, but this can cause some other problems. Its better to post a plan and bubble+annotate your desired set of outcomes
  16. are you sharing this file with a team, why are you exporting your file? Your responses will help me help you
  17. Make a copy to play with Right click your linked plan and choose "Replace With" and target your copied plan OR Make a copy to play with Open layout and goto Tools/Layout/Referenced Plan files and replace the other plan file with your copy plan file in the subsequent dialogue box OR Right click your Layout and choose Make a copy with links to a new folder, and that is a completely contained copy of your layout with its linked plans that are not linked to the originals
  18. Which file size is 200mb ? Your printed PDF? Your Project File (managed mode)? Your plan file (Unmanaged mode)? If its your project file, this has to do with the texture files being used, and you can limit the number of textures being used if thats the case, but instead of that I would just get used to the process of using a cloud service for file transfers. This will be the norm if you are trying to share with someone that also gives them access to the materials being used. Wetransfer can transfer up to 2gb for free I believe but its fairly cheap to get a dropbox account to handle your projects.
  19. My pleasure I use it for maps too !
  20. Happy to help renerabbitt@gmail.com
  21. Funny I built a website of the chief manual back 2.5 years ago for the same reason. I forgot I have it still embedded in my website in offline pages. Ive spent years now training all of my ai so its pretty dang good. Personally I love cursor because of its abilities for using any and all resources on my computer and the web including api access. Probably a unique case for me though, i dont need it for chief architect questions, i need it for scripting ruby for chief and keeping track of my systems. I feel like youll get to the right answer faster just by posting your questions here, haha
