wow. ok. will give that a go. thx.

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

ah. right. the schedule was including windows in the back building. crisis averted. thanks to all.

here's a copy of the plan

hi -

generated a window schedule, see windows listed that aren't in my model

what gives?

thanks!

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!

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

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

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

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
