CHOPSAW made me a elevation point and elevation point schedule 4 years ago that worked great, the elevation point had the point number, x, y, z, description built into it and it propagated to the schedule he made and it would write the data to a file.

it doesn't work i got this from a guy years ago who made this macro for me but it wont export. He made special point markers and a special schedule, but they no longer work. I was hoping chief had created a tool to do this by now, but I guess not. Thanks

Has anyone come up with a way to export elevation data (xyx points) to a for example CSV file so I can load it in my survey gear. I have been asking Chief for 10 years to create an export tool for this, still nothing!

Does anyone know what the text macro is for the Z: Position on the Note specification box? you can use %x_position% for X and %y_position% for Y But this doesn't work for Z, I tried %elevationf% used in the Elevation Point specification box. Thanks

Does anyone know how to export terrain data, ie a point file, CSV or TXT, so I can load the data into my total station? I have a drawing with terrain elevation points at property corners, building corners, etc. Thanks

The 2016 Cal. residential is 7 3/4" and 10" The 2016 Cal building code for commerical is 7" and 11".

Thank you everyone, I had done this before and don't do it very often.

Thank you.

I want to display both a schedule callout and written description. Example below. Is there a way to do this?

Is there a way to have a window label associated to schedule and a written label displayed on the floor plan?

Is there somewhere you can set the default sill plate material to something different than the default framing material?

Is anyone out there using Chief having it hosted on a cloud server? If so what has been your experience with it? How does it work? Any problems? Thanks Mark
