  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. Stop doing this! This is a terrible practice. Especially when you take the leap to macros.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Simply import the symbol, designate its Class, then modify options in the Options Panel of the Symbol Contextual Menu

  8. 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?
  9. Any time a CAD block is created for a symbol.
  10. Question from me is, what’s difficult about making a schedule? Usually a few minutes time. Any reason not to redo it?
  11. is your documents folder synced to onedrive?

  13. Hmm, now I have to watch my own video, I didnt see any difference for the tab input. Scratching head.
  14. Might be doing it wrong? 220221-Compressed.mp4
  15. BTW this has never worked on my machine for any versions, and I have always been aware of the method from the documentation. I've never taken the time to call in about this. Right clicking does exactly the same thing as left clicking for me, no matter the preferences.
  16. Fantastic advice that I almost never use. I’ve been meaning to ask for 5 years now, I swear I used to know a way to jump to an x input after making a y input on say a CAD box. Am I dreaming that up? Did that question make sense? As in, select a side of a closer poly line, click on a temp dimension and input, and automatically go to the adjacent dimension input
  17. They came from interpolation of the data provided as well as the lack of data.
  18. Chief interpolates from the data that you have provided. So Chief, with a lack of info, can only presume that your contour lines continue in the path that you have designated. It has no way of knowing what is flat or peaked without you providing such data. A simple set of extra terrain contours would solve any issues you have.
  19. Use RIchards suggestion, alt+ctrl+c, drags the edit handle, and while dragging, hit tab, then I put your offset
  20. FYI to all, An elevation is just a special classification of a 3d ortho view with a generated cad overlayed at the fixed location of your elevation camera. So most a snappable elements are only as a snappable as they would be in a 3d Ortho. Section Lines are produced at section cuts, maybe unlock the Section Lines layer.
