so nothing is different in that screenshot aside from your config is locked...that was expected..what did you think should be different?

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?

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

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

auto build and auto detail..I think this is close? Is that what you are looking for?

yes but not with style palettes

BTW i think we have space available in Idaho, did you already find a place?

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.

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

This looks like one of Joe's very old macros.. Object type no longer reports the same, so without a checksum for nil, it will throw an error. might change the approach a bit, and redefine type in your code and then when you analyze type later in the code and maybe add a check for yourself:

use tab input to offset your line a specific distance from any snappable element you choose

post this in Q&A, this has something to do with your settings

This seems like a particular complex bit of code. How do we accumulate totals for custom object fields. The problem as I see it is making sure we are not accumulating every time a publisher changes its reported value...so we have to script in a checksum..maybe through a rescue? or is this some sort of array..how would you approach this?

Dustin did respond, it may be a while as the solution to the image input might be very complex

I could make this for you, I charge a fee. Dustins version of the substance tool uses a multiply/overlay with an image input so your image is not nearly bold enough to avoid being washed out by the multiplied color being applied. You'll see what I mean if you put a checkerboard pattern in the image input instead..the wood builder does a better job but doesnt have the pattern that you need. I contacted him, maybe he will have a patch

You posted last week in the HomeTalk forum not the Chieftalk forum

I think this warrants further discussion with chief tech support. I have a hard time believing your 3080 card has anything wrong with it.

POST 104 A late #freesymbolfriday for #ChiefArchitect. Whooopss.. How about a skylight frame for you rendering buffs. This symbol is an exterior fixture that does not report to schedule or show label. It will be painted with your default exterior door material when placed in plan. This should auto place on roof in plan view ...this should also be centered on your skylight that you draw first. Then just concentric resize based on a base skylight dimension of 24x48. So if you have a 24x60 skylight, just add 12" to the height (easier than trying to do the math with slope...this is a linear calc for this symbol.)

I would say this is heavy leaning toward a commercial building workflow with an RCP. I only ever see local muni preference of having it all on one sheet in the regions I work in nationally. Is this a requirement somewhere? I am just curous I would suggest, sending in a suggestion for additional electrical layers and pin it here and we can all go file a report and it might change. My preference is entirely for scalability, it's difficult to adopt someones custom stuff..I can't do it, I work with too many different Chief Techs..and a system like this is one I see as volitile...too many symbols and too much maintaence. I have all of my own symbols for z-wave..already too many to manage and go build a layer set around after designating outlet/light/switch leg/ etc. Even more so when you get into conditions where a symbol needs to be on both an RCP and a power plan. If nothing else, would encourage to push this to suggestions..we can get stuff to happen that way, as its a great thought @RobUSMC
