they should update that..standard view with line option looks a lot nicer, especially since they fixed shadows wtih the section cut tool when used with full overview instead of floor overview with no shadows
-
convert to image and put it in plan scaled
-
You applied it as a Cabinet Drawer as opposed to a Cabinet Drawer Door Box/Pullout

Do you have a physical toggle button for your mouse wheel to go from clicks to infinite scroll? If so, does hitting esc several times fix your issue? if so, turn off infinite scroll
-
Are you using zoomit or any other program that re-renders your mouse cursor? Something is conflicting, is this in a fresh install of windows with no other programs?

You both responded to my suggestion about combining notes and callouts, and this is EXACTLY something it would be used for...if callouts and notes were one tool, we would have a callout schedule that could be reordered and used for things such as a detail schedule or simply for detail enumeration Rod this is in my Pro Plan...it was tedious to setup but works really well and takes no maintenence once established.

Lets say I have a macro that reports line weight for instance. can I have a global macro such that $p(n) where n equals the line weight that is being reported? I tried a bunch of different ways but just failed repeatedly. Alternatively can we have a owner macro store that value such that example=$p(n)? An example use case..inputting a line weight on an object to set the global variable for that object...as a for instance

I fixed it, and it is a bug. If you added something to a style palette that contained a macro in its label, that macro will always remain. You have to make an entirely new style palette. You cannot overwrite the existing style palette because the label macro remains. Interesting because there is no reported value for label in Style Palettes

Custom Toolbar Order - Not Staying in Place
Renerabbitt replied to MollyNDG's topic in General Q & A
Just an FYI, if your toolbars are unlocked, you do not need to open up toolbar customization to rearrange them. I undock toolbars based on what one I need at the time and then square it up and put it in the middle of my sheet. Also note, I build comprehensive systems for cabinet vendors in case you want more automation -
Custom Toolbar Order - Not Staying in Place
Renerabbitt replied to MollyNDG's topic in General Q & A
now share screenshots from the other views. are you rearranging anything in the other views? and are you unlocking toolbars prior to changing arrangement in customization? -

Renerabbitt replied to MollyNDG's topic in General Q & A
so nothing is different in that screenshot aside from your config is locked...that was expected..what did you think should be different? -
Custom Toolbar Order - Not Staying in Place
Renerabbitt replied to MollyNDG's topic in General Q & A
So when is your custom arrangement changing to something you didnt specify? are you possibly clicking in an elevation window or a camera view or a CAD detail or a different configuration entirely? -
Custom Toolbar Order - Not Staying in Place
Renerabbitt replied to MollyNDG's topic in General Q & A
sweet, glad I helped Your text annotations could be truncated considerably if you utilize macros...12" deep 18" deep etc. Can you take a screenshot of your customization window so I can see, go ahead and just use print screen so you get the entire view -
Custom Toolbar Order - Not Staying in Place
Renerabbitt replied to MollyNDG's topic in General Q & A
The order completely depends on the view that you are currently in as it corresponds to the view that you established your order in the customization menu. Also you would cut down significantly on your custom items by utilizing style palettes -
Monolithic Foundations and Storm Cellar Basements
Renerabbitt replied to amddrafting's topic in General Q & A
auto build and auto detail..I think this is close? Is that what you are looking for? -
ah okay. I am having problems with removing a macro from a style palette, I have yet to report it though, so I am aware of the pesky library based macro implementation
-
LOL, so what about it is currently bugging you?
-
I would say make the suggestion, its a good one, you can't be the only one that prefers it this way. Then an aside note for anyone reading this, I would highly encourage anyone here to implement search attributes and tags as they do stack. I've got 1000's of items in my library, its very easy to click a tag 'range' and type '30' as a search attribute, or click 3 tags, sofa/bright/large and get to exactly what I need the same as tables/dining room/dark. A system like that can work across many different types of library items

I guess I don't understand/share the preference though I certainly don't need to, its your preference, no argument there, I know its frustrating when things change. My own perspective, clicking the down carrot instead of the folder is faster than clicking a folder and looking through previews of images that represent folders and in most cases make no sense(the picture of a dog for imported items for instance). In the old method you are clicking a folder in your folder tree and then browsing folder images and double clicking from there? So the difference is clicking the down carrot and browsing from 1 single window until you find the correct sub folder for your item. I'm writing that out so that maybe we find a suggestion that makes sense. If you simply want subfolders to show in the filtered results then I would say just make the suggestion. Clicking the down carrot shows all of your subfolders for that particular folder in a folder tree. I wouldnt be opposed to a kan ban option but would request that we could select our own preview images.

Ruby ? creating your own accumulating totals
Renerabbitt replied to Renerabbitt's topic in General Q & A
This was the major point of this thread for me, beside trying to learn about how to approach this. From studying Ruby and trying to figure out how it correlates to the nuances in Chief, I have yet to figure out anything that totals without being a huge workaround. I think we are due for a suggestion to Chief no? -

"How would you approach this" -
What do you mean, what is this referring to, individual content? Why would subfolders not matter? This was just a ph 1, a necessary part of a complete cloud based PM software, now they can push updates and patches to the library, also a big part of the subscription implementation...not possible without it. Why not switch to tiled mode..also ctrl+mouse wheel for different preview size Depends on if you have Include Web Results checked and what rendering your preview is in as well as what the default room materials are in your template plan
