Looks like I will. Like I said, I was checking to see if there was a setting to prevent schedules from renumbering. It’s a commercial project with a lot of doors & didn’t want to have to go back through all the doors manually adjust & check to make sure they were the same as the bid set.

Thanks

Thank you, I was hoping there was a setting to prevent the doors from automatically renumbering. Sounds like the only way around this in a future project is to custom label each door.

I have a project that has gone out for bidding and I need to change one door.  When I try to change the door, the other doors randomly renumber.  How do I prevent the door numbers from changing on the existing doors / door schedule?

Robert,

Thank you, that worked.

I have the room set as a Garage but it doesn't give me the option to set the distance from the stem wall to the floor.  The floor is setting on top of the foundation wall.

How do you get Chief to dimension to the top of the concrete foundation wall instead of the sill plate?  Out in the field, the concrete contractor doesn't want a sill plate included in the basement wall height.

The problem is when I change the stem wall height it automatically changes the absolute floor elevation and vise versa. I thought I had the foundation set however this is an addition to a home with a crawlspace and a 7' basement.  The addition will have an 8' basement.  For now, I went through and reset the defaults and I was able to get the 4" to go away.  I had to go back and reset all my other heights.  Very glitchy.  Autocad user for 30 years and it's very frustrating.

Thanks for your input.

If I set the stem wall to zero, there is no basement and it defaults to 4".

When I change the stem wall height it changes the floor height by a difference of 4".  If I put the floor at -106.125" it makes the stem wall 102.125.

I'm new to Chief Architect within the last 6 months.  When I try to set my basement stem wall height to 97.5" with a 4" slab, the Absolute Floor elevation should be -106.125" but it changes to -101.5".  How do I get rid of the space Chief is putting between the bottom of the basement slab and footing?
