    Thank you!!!! I forgot that I had renamed columns a long time ago. Thanks to you I opened my schedule and added every logical column to see what's what. I found it. I changed "Label" to "Item".

    I am trying to change the item description to "Steam Oven" for the first appliance in my schedule. I have gone into the component mode and object mode and tried changing everything but the Item column will not change. This is for the Wolf CSO30PM/S/PH Steam Oven. I also have the same problem with the Bosch dishwasher. I need it to say "Dishwasher" in the Item column. I don't want to go into the schedule on the plan and put a text box over the Item box because I want to be able to move the schedule around without forgetting to move the text box. It seems like I should be able to find where the Item data is pulled from. I even copied the original fixture to my User Library to see if I could get to the source of the Item column but can't find it.

    Look at Layout View Position and Orientation. I want the default Y position to be 1/4". I cannot find anywhere to change this default. I have to go into each picture and change the default Y position from 3/4" to 1/4". Can someone show me the exact steps in X17 to change this default?

    I have the floor surfaces layer turned on. I can see the texture in the material definition. Why won't the texture show up on the floor plan?

    I am trying to modify the value for the Label component. See the highlighted blue box. I cannot edit this. I am using X15.

    Thank you. That was exactly the answer I needed.

    How do I change my architectural block defaults so that the "display bounding box" is off as my default? I currently go into each architectural block and turn off the "display bounding box" for each block I create. I've looked through Chief Help and can't find this answer. Premier X14.

    Eric, thank you for the video. The way I had previously made holes was to grab a square and convert it to a polyline solid hole. I see that all of this has changed. Your way works!

    Won’t work on either of my computers in X13 or X14. My computers exceed what is needed by X14. My software is up to date. I am still on Windows 10. The Create Hole feature worked in X12. I guess I need to send my plan into Tech Support.

    Hey, is anyone having problems in X13 and X14 with not being able to create a hole in a backsplash or in a material region? I’ve tried making sure I create the hole in the same view that I create the region but that isn’t helping. Then I tested creating a hole in various 3D views, sections, and elevations. Deleted and recreated backsplashes and material regions. None will let me create a hole anymore. What is up? This is how I created tile borders, decorative tile inserts, etc in the past. By creating holes and insetting poly line solids or other regions, I was able to adjust alignment, create patterns, and still have everything in he same plane without one material showing through the other in 3D views.

    I am using Chief X12. I have "Rotate Text With Plan" checked everywhere I can find it. Regardless of whether I rotate my plan using Rotate Plan in Tools or if I rotate it manually on my layout, my text does not rotate. How can I fix this?

    OMG! Michael, I have spent years looking for this solution. It fixed it. I am so thrilled. Woohoo!!!! Thank you.

    I meant to say electrical schedules.

    How do you get the 2D symbols in the electrical legend to show up at the same size that they are in the plan (or a size that is desired)? Is there a way to control the size of the 2D symbols in electrical legends? The 2D symbols come in so large that they blow the legends right off the page. If I scale the legend down, the text becomes illegible.
