    I tried that once, then the development authority told me to put them on the plans to get them approved


    I get it, I share the frustration.
    Have a great day!

    I just saw you are on X14. I did this in X16. Sorry about that but not doing it over. So here is the how.

    Start by making a molding image.png.89c8683b9608d634c7e8095beb4262fb.pngPlace a molding line using that.

    Transform replicate, copy that line- I did 12, think 11 is better Space at 19/11.

    Convert that to cabinet door, set y origin to 1/2"

    Place in a wall cabinet as side panel inset. Set separations to suit. Back and each side match front.

    Then using only 6 molding lines make a cabinet door symbol. Another wall cabinet this time 3/4" thick. Place the new door and adjust separations. Convert that to a fixture. Rotate so that it will lay parallel to the floor. Pen it up and set height plane to allow it to grow. 

    Set first wall cabinet on the floor. Center the fixture over the cabinet in both directions and adjust height.

    THANK YOU!!!

    I’m using X16, I just forgot to update my profile.

    Im so thank full, you saved me lots of time!!!

     

  3. Just my thoughts because I have to keep it simple and everyone on the same page to save confusion.

     

    I direct everyone to read off the WINDOW SCHEDULE. You can add all the columns there for what you need.


    Framer should follow RO column 60”x42”

    Window company should follow SIZE column 5036

    Homeowner should follow INCHES column 60”x42”

  4. Hey Guy's,

    Plan is attached for anyone that might be able to help me.
    I built this roof with custom dutch gables and I can see any of the attic wall in the elevations, 3D or sections. I can only see them in the attic floor plan.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  5. I changed all the fonts and it seems to have corrected the problem. Probably when I whent from X15 to X16. I need to pay more attention to font change warnings when the program is updated.

     

    Thank you Glenn

  6. Is anyone having this problem?

    Whole words are splitting. I fix it but than it separates again when I adjust the box.:wacko:

    Also, the words go out of the layout box in the second picture.

  7. I closed everything and started over one step at a time and figured it out. I wasnt following the correct order. I got ahead of myself.

    Thank you for getting me in the right direction.

    In my case I had my text notes as a separate CAD detail.  (I think this is best practice per forum advice).  That's what DB Cooper was referring to.

     

    The settings of this CAD detail were affecting the text note text sizing.

     

    Hope that helps.

    Yes, it better explains it. I tried to do it as a cad detail in the past but it had its disadvantages also.

    I only like to put notes and details in the plan that have to do with the specific project so boiler plates don’t work well for me. This is why I utilize the library a lot.

    The NOTE schedules are a nice idea but seem to have a few glitches that are frustrating.

     

    Thank you for the help, Jim, I really appreciate it.

    Thank You Jim,

    I was wondering. Is there a way to access your notes list? When I save them in the libuary I can only see them when I put the note in the plan. I may have to see if there is an updated video on how to use notes.

    Just use the "Schedule Number" instead of the Callout.

    That's of course in the first column.

     

    OTOH, you could try making that column wider.  That might make the Callout bigger.

     

    Joe, I think it has something to do with the way I have the section layers setup becasue the callout size in the section should match the callout size in the schedule. That is the way it is in the other plan I have.

    When I make the column size bigger this is what happens

    This is from another plan that I did and so I know it can be done.

  12. I cant figure out how to make these calout labels in the schedule bigger so I can read them.
    When I did make them bigger it change the callout size for them on the section view and I dont want that.

     

    Any help would be appreciated
