  1. Like DBCooper said, if you uncheck "Use Text Style" under the Appearance section then you can change the text height of the individual room label.
  2. I am always amazed what you can learn from this forum! Thank you for this! @Renerabbitt That room label macro is slick. Is that included in your new user beginner template?
  3. I was having the same issue when trying to save plan as a template. In the meantime, inside the preferences settings there is a dialog under new plans where you can define the custom project information for your templates.
  4. If you open the wall type dialog in the wall settings, set the "build deck platform" to your siding layer. I think that allows the siding to show
  5. Any way to adjust color of icons in X18? I use a dark mode on my pc, so it changed the default icons to a light color. But when I go back to classic theme, the icons keep the light lines on the default icons.
  6. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/47737-open-tab-info/ It used display the plan name and shorter view name when hovering on a tab in X16, but something changed in X17. I submitted a support ticket a few months ago and supposedly they are going to fix that in the next update.
  7. Thank you! I see this would also be affected by a pony wall situation.
  8. Are there macros that can pull information from the components panel to include data in a schedule?
  9. Did you use the auto floating dormer (no roof hole) or the auto dormer tool?
  10. I am having the same issue this morning
  11. In X16 when hovering over an opened tab, it just gave the drawing name and title of the view. In X17 it gives the full file path name, with no information about what the view is. With multiple projects opened and different views for each it makes it really difficult to find which tab I am looking for. Is there a setting to change this?
  12. Would a duplicate Roof Plane with minimum structure thickness work? GableExamplePlan.plan?
  13. Did you make sure to select the main layer of the wall type? Each layer has separate material properties, and when dialogue is opened it defaults to the exterior layer.
  14. Make sure your exterior wall type Main Layer has framing CHECKED under the material properties tab. If it is unchecked the siding will not cover the sill plate. You can also specify the extension of the siding layer in this same wall definition dialogue.
