ACADuser

Thanks so much for the tips. This is my first Style Pallet. It looks like a very powerful tool. I guess the easiest way to set these up is to open past plans & add the cabinets form them. Your suggested changes need to be made to the cabinets in the plan & then replace the pallet objects? If you replace the base Cabinet for example you need to go back to properties in the pallet & tweak settings? Perhaps I will have time this afternoon to experiment. BTW I will go back and adjust the drawer seperations as that was not my intent. Thanks again.

The door & Drawer Symbol did the trick. Industrial Cabinets ACADuser.calibz

Sorry for the late reply. I'll try the door symbol route.

I think the use of NOTE may be the answer. Although my system slows down when I use notes. Simply use the note number for the circuit number. with a different description for each circuit. You would need 2 tables 1st table remove the N from the Label prefix in the table descriptions Circuit 01 Circuit 02 2nd table change the Table Label prefix from N to E- Description Fan Master bedroom area

This is a problem using a prescriptive method. They say this is code minimum but in a prescriptive table, they must cover worst-case (CYA) conditions. If you have a long enough wall segment that is designed as a "shearwall segment" it will prevent the racking at the garage opening & the additional king posts are not needed. You are better off asking the Engineer of record to design the portal frame and or shearwalls. The engineer overrides the prescriptive code table requirement.

Residential Stair FBCR 2017 R311.7.1 Width. Stairways shall be not less than 36 inches (914 mm) in clear width at all points above the permitted handrail height and below the required headroom height. Handrails shall not project more than 4-1/2 inches (114 mm) on either side of the stairway and the clear width of the stairway at and below the handrail height, including treads and landings, shall be not less than 31-1/2 inches (787 mm) where a handrail is installed on one side and 27 inches (698 mm) where handrails are provided on both sides. R311.7.3 Vertical rise. A flight of stairs shall not have a vertical rise larger than 147 inches (12'-3") (3734 mm) between floor levels or landings. R311.7.5.1 Risers. The riser height shall be not more than 7-3/4 inches (196 mm). The riser shall be measured vertically between leading edges of the adjacent treads. The greatest riser height within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm). Risers shall be vertical or sloped from the underside of the nosing of the tread above at an angle not more than 30 degrees (0.51 rad) from the vertical. Open risers are permitted provided that the openings located more than 30 inches (762 mm), as measured vertically, to the floor or grade below do not permit the passage of a 4-inch-diameter (102 mm) sphere. R311.7.5.2 Treads. The tread depth shall be not less than 10 inches (254 mm). The tread depth shall be measured horizontally between the vertical planes of the foremost projection of adjacent treads and at a right angle to the tread’s leading edge. The greatest tread depth within any flight of stairs shall not exceed the smallest by more than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm). Commercial Buildings: FBC 2017 1011.2 Width and capacity. The required capacity of stairways shall be determined as specified in Section 1005.1, but the minimum width shall be not less than 44 inches (1118 mm). See Section 1009 for accessible means of egress stairways. Exceptions: 1. Stairways serving an occupant load of less than 50 shall have a width of not less than 36 inches (914 mm). 1011.5.2 Riser height and tread depth. Stair riser heights shall be 7 inches (178 mm) maximum and 4 inches (102 mm) minimum. 1011.8 Vertical rise. A flight of stairs shall not have a vertical rise greater than 12 feet (3658 mm) between floor levels or landings. Commercial & Residential Headroom. The headroom in stairways shall be not less than 6 feet 8 inches (2032 mm) measured vertically from the sloped line adjoining the tread nosing or from the floor surface of the landing or platform on that portion of the stairway.

OK those blocks do have a "Layout Page Table" in them.

I was able to reproduce the error & narrowed it down to two (so far) blocks with text. I will add it to my bug report.

No schedules in my library items but the first occurrence was when I use the copy material eyedropper in one plan, switch to another plan & tried to paste the material. Then in the same session in the library, I was selecting my folders. I'll see if I can reproduce the error.

This is a Beach house I did but did not get too detailed on the stair.

I too have experienced problems with the catalog. Chief is up to date & windows 10 just did an update. I was able to "send the report" & continue working. Opened a support query at Chief.

Thanks but at 71 my future is winding down.

I think I would use closed polylines to show the roof plane in plan view. You may use an upper & lower roof plane but that is not worth the trouble IMO.

Why is that tool not available in section views? Also the match properties tool.

Take a look at this one. Mono Slab.plan

Very funny, but it has to be connected to a drainpipe before it will work.

My point was that the Internal_area is rounded off & I'm forced to use the ceiling area to get decimal accuracy.

That is the way it was when I inserted it. But I just repeated the process & it came out OK. Toilet ADA Flushvalve.calibz

Ok, back to this project. The obj.room.internal_area is a Chief rounded number. I found obj.room.ceiling_insulation.area.round(3) was a close as I could come to the correct number.

See attached with seat & flush valve added.

Thanks fellas, I just downloaded the Kohler Catalog, it's massive!

I see you must have the Kohler catalog loaded. I've never loaded that catalog due to its size. Is there a performance penalty for loading large catalogs? The toilet bowls I see in your post look like tank-type toilets without the tank shown. I'm sure there must be some flush valve toilets too. I had forgotten about the Kohler catalog. Thanks for reminding me.

I found one at 3DWarehouse but not great. Anyone have one to share?

I don't understand how to use the tab to move at an angle when using odd angles. Perhaps I'm trying to use the wrong tool. I just want to move the 2 legs 36" without all the guidelines I had to create. Is there a way to do this? Untitled 2.zip
