Either quote me or at mention me(click on my name in drop down) or it wont notify me here: %automatic_label[0..1].include?("SB") && type[0] == 'B' ? ('BSC' << ((height - countertop_thickness).to_f.to_i.to_s) << width.to_f.to_i.to_s) : automatic_label% this checks for the condition that the automatic label sees this as a sink base..so bear that in mind your automatic label should be in place on your default base cabinet. If the condition isnt met that your cabinet automatically reports SB in the automatic label then it will put the default automatic_label

just as an FYI @ACADuser and Tools:Checks:Spell Checking works

I have a cabinet label system in my pro plan template but honestly it took 10s of hours to create so I wouldnt just offer it up here...it takes into account a ton of cabinet labeling conditions such as filler labels, appliance labels, glass cabinet labels, Microwave labels, spice cabinets garba pullouts etc. For what you are asking, a simple replace script would work inline Eric gives a great example..here is another:

nice

Create a new macro in TMM and name it whatever you like, simple to name is winSuffix...then paste this code and check evaluate and change context to owner object Keep in mind this retains all other labeling conventions from type code that fall outside of Left sliding and right sliding. Put this in your window label as follows: %FormattedOpeningWidth%%FormattedOpeningHeight%%winSuffix% Note:I like to use downcase for future-proofing # Copyright Rabbitt Design 2023 # CHECKING THE PUBLISHER VALUES FOR TYPE_CODE # CHECK THE DOWNCASED VALUE AND ASSIGN winSuffix ACCORDINGLY if type_code.downcase == 'ls' winSuffix = "XO" elsif type_code.downcase == "rs" winSuffix = "OX" else winSuffix = type_code end winSuffix

For doors, you need a macro that looks at %swing_side% and %hinge_side% and creates conditional macros based on those values. For windows its a simple conditional replacement where you look for %type_code% and then report conditional string "XO" for type code "LS" or OX for type code "RS"

Yes it can, takes a bit of know-how

Copy it to your user library and either modify the symbol to be used as a lock where you will need to change the symbol's X Origin Offset or convert it to millwork and apply it as a closed one side shutter where you will need to rotate the symbol in the Z axis 180 degrees and do an x and y offset for your condition

I would first post this in the Q&A forum. This forum really should just be for Chief ready symbols IMO. I've asked chief if we could get some mods in here to clean up and properly sort these dang forums in past. Maybe some day Next can you post the original link you downloadde from? The obj fil is missing its associated material file and without it someone would have to texture this by hand and it would be very time consuming

This is because chief is wrapping your brick back to the siding wall. You should create your own return instead by taking the continuation handle of your brick wall and returning it back. See screenshot

Tiled vs List is not set in preferences. It is set in the browser itself. Lock only locks your windowed arrangement

@Doug_N Throw this in the Tips and Tricks Forum

Provide a pic and could probably make one for you

Not following. A plan template you copy and paste? Why would you copy and paste a plan template? Why not create a new template with your current settings? The user library loads an old copy of your user library? When you do what exactly? There should be no reason your User Library reverts to an older file state if you are just copying and pasting content from a plan file. Can you give more information about your process?

You could set a macro with a conditional statement that looks for a specific room name and then assigns a global variable to the ceiling height of the open below room that will report in that specific room names ceiling height

Matterports Lidar rig or a intel realsense will give you accuracy. Nothing will do the work for you in chief but you can use the measurement tools for any point cloud based tool or import a 3d object file and line up your chief elements with the 3d mesh.

Just requires a method. This is an old video, my method has changed a bit but basically he structure of it:

wwhat would be an example of a dbx field that would need spellchecking? The spell check tool works for layout box labels

Yes you can. I would NOT advise it. Chief will try to re-write the user library for every change that is made on ANYONE's machine so long as that machine is running Chief. When Chief sees that the user library is locked it will make a new file User Library_1 for instance, which will just get lost. Chief will only open a file named User_library. There are more advanced ways of setting up a cloud sync option but these all require a process that the entire team must stick to. Alternatively you could regularly export the days new library items and at the start of the next day have the team do their respective imports. I have 4 different methods for User Library syncing but every method is a process that must be trained to the team

If you dont need the wall cap then you can use a custom stringer:

Just did a video for this posted here:

Switched to tab breaks and its even worse...seems to be duplicating data..this has to be a bug .Also tried a new line to start and that doesnt change anything

Why when I script a macro to read from a CSV the reported value looks like this in regular text whereas it works perfectly in rich text:
