    Do you have 2 door schedules in your plan
  2. DRAWZILLA
    I'll do a video if anyone is interested, Joe invented a great thing here, I just have it in my template plan and it's ready to go instantly. love it a lot until Chief adds this to the Schedules PS I started another thread with the video .and plan

    It automatically numbers the notes using the phantom plant method, very fast and easy. you can also copy any number for the same note elsewheree on the plan

    I use the ALDO (active layer display options) now for that. Just select anything and uncheck the display in the layer-set, very easy and fast.

    Make sure all your roof plane lines are straight, if they are just a little off, things just get messed up. Also re-join all the roof planes to one another. Might help.

    Just thinking that "c" is the default for concentric mode, could be very easy to accidently hit it, I know I've don it. Just trying to help that's all

    You may have hit the hot key for that, change the hot key of delete it.

    I keep most of my notes in the lib. I also store notes, I use all the time, in Ruby b/c if I need to change a note, just change the macro text and it changes everywhere on the plan, not just the one instance.

    I always keep the ALDO active, up all the time, on a different monitor and work off of it, when nothing is selected all layers show up.

    One more Schedule I'd like to see is a plan note Schedule. Place a number and add a note, it will clean up the plan a little. I now use the plant schedule converted to a plan note schedule using an invisible plant to get the labels I need. Thanks to Joe for that.

    The new ALDO eliminates all the hassle of trying to find a layer

    I use Chief's framing on every plan I do. I don't show any 3d framing views, but Chief has gotten very good with their framing, like joists direction, posts, conc. pads ,or piers. Framing has some work to do yet but I like it. You've come a log way baby.
  13. DRAWZILLA
    Try the "Paste Special" to keep the formatting.

    Scott, yes, one thing I always do when adding a second floor over an existing is to overbuild the 2nd floor joists over the existing ceiling joists, so I have to include the f.j. and the (e) ceiling joists in one floor DBX, how could the ML possiable deal with this condition.
  15. DRAWZILLA
    I have not had that problem yet, so I'm not sure what the answer is.

    Material region sounds like the way to go, keeping it simple, rather than adding layers.
  17. DRAWZILLA
    No, please don't give up, can you do all that for me and send me the file, I don't have an extra 30 day to do it correctly. JK

    over the years painting walls was nothing but trouble for most people, what you show is new for X7, maybe they fixed the problem now. I'll have to check it out.
  19. DRAWZILLA
    For me that doesn't always work when trying to change the joists direction for framing, I then just place a bearing line for that. It does work great for adding a footing under a wall.
  20. DRAWZILLA
    I suppose one could add a 1/16" thick paint layer to each wall definition they have.
  21. DRAWZILLA
    Joey, it a lot more than that.
  22. DRAWZILLA
    yes it is
  23. DRAWZILLA
    here is a clue
  24. DRAWZILLA
    yes, turn off Auto framing In the Deck DBX once you have it the way you want.
  25. DRAWZILLA
    I have one rule, and that is, never paint walls.
