    @robdyckand @HumbleChief in your edit toolbar with arc selected: This of course will bypass chord length.

    Not to dissuade the suggestion can you post an example plan..10 seconds is a long time, curious if I have some helpful advice for you
  3. Renerabbitt
    I would STRONGLY discourage both of these options. Why are you turning off your background and setting no sun? The OP's desired result is a daylit condition with a background.

    So sorry, I dont get notifications on this thread, maybe I can change that through the follow settings. Most of my materials are in my default plan. So yes it can be pretty quick and easy to get a good shot once the concepts are all understood. I still tell people to just hire me for their renderings because it is such a fruitless effort in terms of margin If you want to learn however then by all means we can set things up. I don't spend much time tweaking materials, I usually know the path that I want to take. I also have a large store of core files that I use or simply create new. My photoshop skills are above average however and I am very fast at creating materials. I did start offering photoshop training recently if that is of interest. It can be very time consuming trying to make a material fit your needs when it may be easier for me to just make an entirely new material. On top of that, I utilize substance painter for materials as well.

    These are some of the few elements that carry macro values, which is why I use them as well. But annotations, such as the OP was suggesting, are ill advised. All of SH text notes are in plan, as well as elevation callouts or notes.
  6. Renerabbitt
    None of his finished work uses notes or callouts in Layout, it really is an uncommon practice. Plan carries with it so much BIM component based information. Not only do you miss out on the opportunity to take advantage of this information, but you cannot globally change active defaults if you are annotating in layout. Punny as it is, annotating in Layout is "dumb" as in we have no "smart" features to utilize.

    Nothing they can do about it, and its been that way for years. Also it is illegitimate as it doesn't give you a functioning Key. So it doesn't harm sales

    My files are on my computer, I only selective sync inactive files. So this is not an issue. Maybe I will produce a video explaining all of this. There is literally nothing but upside to using cloud based project orginization, no cons to speak of. When I save a project, it lives on my computer regardless of my internet connection(I should know, I work in Costa Rica twice a year) My files are actively synced to the web when I do have connection.

    been using it for a decade with no issue. This is old news. Onedrive and Dropbox have far advanced the coding of their software since that suggestion from Chief. Files are saved to explorer and then parsed to the cloud. Power spikes will make no difference.

    Documents folder is the default location for Chiefs data folder and subsequently the archive folder. By default, I believe Win 10 has the documents folder in onedrive, so by default the archive should be synced to the cloud which then has versioning based on a given filename. I never lose a document, I have an iterative folder structure in dropbox and archives in onedrive. Pretty bulletproof

    My Elevations are already sent to layout. I typically start compiling for layout before I start annotating. Maybe find an order of operations that work. Layout is dumb, as in no smart features tie it to the model, no classifications, no BIM. Think of layout as a PDF compiler. The process is the same for making a brochure. Make the content, and before you start organizing graphics, ensure that the media can be arranged within the print page margins.

    Stop doing this! This is a terrible practice. Especially when you take the leap to macros.
  14. Renerabbitt
    This particular symbol really should not be used. You will run into way too many problems trying to conform it. Also, this question should be in General Q&A. This forum is for sharing symbols really. FYI we can build a shower like this in under a minute with the right know-how and have it be dynamic, schedule reporting, parametric and more when you learn the tools that we have. For other symbols that need modification, chopsaw gave a great solution.
  15. Renerabbitt
    You could instead simply copy an ASCII bullet and place it in a Custom Field that reports to the schedule. You could drive it from any symbol such as a 1"x1"x1" cabinet on a hidden layer that uses style pallets and reports to the schedule and again just point and click. Further that by making the custom field input a macro so you can dynamically change the symbol as needed and also link the style pallet tool to a library object on your toolbars so that you have an icon.
  16. Renerabbitt
    Simply import the symbol, designate its Class, then modify options in the Options Panel of the Symbol Contextual Menu

    Meant to be a helpful response. The door schedule you could setup quite easily by creating style pallets that carry Macros in OIP/Custom Fields with them, then it would just be point and click on your doors. The room schedule could be automated but would be limited in terms of graphics. as they pertain to column/row padding, but the time saving would make that pretty desirable to me. How are you producing that schedule?

    Willing to share your plan file?
  20. Renerabbitt
    Any time a CAD block is created for a symbol.
  21. Renerabbitt
    Question from me is, what’s difficult about making a schedule? Usually a few minutes time. Any reason not to redo it?
  22. Renerabbitt
    is your documents folder synced to onedrive?

    Hmm, now I have to watch my own video, I didnt see any difference for the tab input. Scratching head.
