Thanks Mark, that did the trick. I don't know how the floor height got changed.

The new doorway worked but how about the first picture ?

I had all this working in X10 & job as on hold. I started back in X11 & noticed some problems. Not sure if I created them or X11 issues. The wall is on the wrong floor & a doorway will not cut. The file is rather large so I put it in Dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/l6842gxuth79huq/Untitled 1.zip?dl=0 Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, Michael. Good catch.

Trying to drop a BBQ grill into a base cabinet I get error cabinet too small. When I make the depth large enough I can see the bounding box for the grill is too deep. This is a Chief supplied object. Is there an issue with the BBQ grill object?

Tech support could not get it to work. So the developers will take a stab at fixing it. Thanks Mark, that will do for now.

Thanks Mark, I'll take a look this afternoon.

Tried that as well, no joy.

That did not seem to work. I sent to tech support. Thanks

Sorry I was out. Nice solution. The taller wall is a part of a fire barrier & is required to go all the way over the short wall. I'll try tech support tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

This is the best I could do St Pete TH.zip

How do you deal with the end of a railing wall when one is taller?

Thanks again.

I must be doing something wrong because there is an opening between the walls. File attached St Pete TH.zip

OK if I use my20" wall I can not add the pass-through & if I build two walls there is a gap between the window & pass-through with no siding. How did you manage that?

Oh I should have remembered that trick. Thanks Eric.

See attached pictures. The window is recessed and mounts in the inner wall. material regions are easy but I have trouble with showing & building the framing & plan view. I tried a 20" wall with 2 framing layers but does not work well. Looks like drywall surfaces work ok with the 20" wall but not the framing. Any suggestions? St Pete TH.zip

Just to be clear you are keeping track of the sheet/layout Label & not the details on it. When you add your details to that layout you would also add an object that passes the layout label to the callout in the elevation view.

Well, aren't you clever. Thinking inside the box, Layout box that is. That will do for now. Thank you for the suggestion. I suppose there is no way a macro can keep track of a Layout Label while not residing in that layout?

I don't think I'm making myself clear. In plan you create a "Back clipped camera view". You sent to sheet A-16 and the Camera in plan shows the A-16 reference. Then in A-15 you have sent elevation camera of the front elevation. You open the front view and you add a callout in the same location as the section view that you have in plan view. This callout needs to reference sheet A-16 where the cross-section view is. So the "A-16" is automatically updated in the plan view cross-section Camey's display callout id the sheet number changes. I want the callout displayed in the front view elevation to change from A-16 to the new sheet number. If you have some sort of "Marker" like a text object that holds the sheet number placed in that A-16 sheet. Then a macro that reads the marker for that "A-16" sheet label so the callout will update.

OK a new feature then. I want to drop "sheet marker" on say A-17 and then use a macro placed in the Callout that would display that sheet number.

Personally, I get mixed results copying text from PDF, word, web page, etc. when pasting into a Rich Text object. So I paste into my text editor which removed the formatting & then I copy & paste into Chief.

Thanks for the replies. The details are on sheet A-16. So if I placed a text macro in layout sheet A-16 that referenced the sheet # it would update if the sheet became A-17. But how to link those call outs back to the text macro on the sheet that now shows A-17?

Joey, My point was how to make them auto update if you change the sheet number?
