  1. I have my window schedule going, now I'd like to control the way the list is sorted. eg, I would choose a column to sort by, and choose a sort order, like a spreadsheet. thanks
  2. ah. right. the schedule was including windows in the back building. crisis averted. thanks to all.
  3. hi - generated a window schedule, see windows listed that aren't in my model what gives? thanks!
  4. hi - labeling a bunch of windows, would like those labels to be visible in all views, i.e., floor plans, 3D fly arounds, etc don't see this anywhere thanks!
  5. hey thanks for your help -- in some cases it's just a matter of looking for some stray line somewhere and deleting it but in others its a little weirder: if I select an object, it will show which layer that object is on in the active layer window. but sometimes one of these zombie layers will show up too -- as if there's some reference to it -- but I can't figure out how to un-reference the zombie layer
  6. hi all, did a big import from a cad file, tons of stray layers, want to clean the file up a bit the problem are layers that show as used (with red plus sign) (and so can't be deleted) but that seem to be empty eg, when I isolate one of these layers, and, for example, select all, or zoom in and out, I can't find anything ON that layer thoughts? thanks
  7. I have a 2D drawing of a roof, i.e., cad lines that define the different vertices, to scale... and I'd like to "automagically" convert that to a set to roof planes... any way to do this? and, if I can't do that, is there an easy was to trace the 2D drawing, by hand, but with some object snapping and/or a reference view... or something... thanks
  8. I have two floors, lots of stuff on each one, and I want to line them up, being careful to move all objects on a given floor strictly as a group the two floors were created by importing two DWG files (one for each floor) to their respective floors, and even if I reset to origin on import, they don't line up I set up the chief walls etc *before I realized the two floors were out of alignment so the first thing I would expect to do is group everything on a given floor together, so I don't have to worry about scrambling up the relationships but grouping, as I understand it, isn't a chief architect feature would I use blocks? is there a way to just tweak the entire floor? I did learn how to allow one floor show through (reference/current/etc) but is there a way I can hide some layers, but still have the content on the hidden layers move with the group, because with everything visible, it's hard to find a clean couple of lines to use for visual alignment I explored the align wall to wall below feature, which seems to work well, but how do I have everything on one floor move together, while using that feature? thanks
