Headers are already included as an optional column in door and window schedules.  Is there any way to include a trimmer count column? Thanks!

Door & window schedules automatically change the header size from actual to nominal (ie. 3-1/2"x5-1/2" to 4"x6").  That's great except for Glulam headers.  Is there any way to keep Chief from changing a 3-1/8" Glulam to 4", etc.?

Thanks!

Hi all.  Is there a simple way to have header labels on top of roof framing while keeping the headers below? Thx.

Thanks.  I was thinking "count" and "size".  ie. (2) 2"x 6" df#2.  Thanks Michael, I just might.

I can't seem to find trimmers in the available columns for door and window schedules.  Am I missing something?  Actually, now that I think about it...have we ever had that ability?

Yes that is an issue that can be fixed.  Go to Cad Block Management and insert the cad block into your plan and explode the block.  Edit to your liking and re block then rename and assign to the symbol as 2D cad block in Symbol DBX.

Thanks.  I was hoping it could be changed in a future update but that will work until then.

My plans examiners almost always miss my surface mount CO Alarms.  Is is possible to make the text "CO" bigger (maybe match the size of outlets, switches)?

Thanks!

I am having the same issue.  When I import pages (pdf) from my engineer they look just fine in my layout for about 2-3 seconds then the page "flickers" and then the pdf's look bad.  They are Adobe Acrobat Document (.pdf).  Perry, is that the same as a vector pdf?

I'll try the temp fix from Richard.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I started getting this error message when exiting C/A about a week ago.  I tried deleting everything in that temp folder but it didn't fix it.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Thanks!  I've been using polyline solids to manually add batts in elevation views (to get the shadows in renderings).  I'll have to try this!

Does anyone know how to adjust the size of the roof plane label "8:12", etc.?  I know you can change the size of the arrow but the text stays the same size and it's too small.  Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks!
