  1. It seems something might be wrong with the height as the width works. But when I look at the macro formatting it looks the same other than width vs depth
  2. Hello, Maybe someone can help me on this. I'm hoping I didn't break anything... https://www.loom.com/share/ae809a120e45408aac103b43353b9b2f Thank you, Steve
  3. I'm sure someone has figured this out already, but turning the cabinet base layer on and setting the line to blank shows the sinks. You still need to use the point to point dimensions, but now I have the sinks and other fixtures all showing up in my Plan View overlay layer.
  4. I will remember that down the road if I use this again. Thank you
  5. https://www.loom.com/share/0cd505c7a19f4828ab08b171a39b87c3 I am using this method - works fine Thank you!
  6. I was thinking of that but wanted to avoid the extra steps. I will look into this - Thank you all!
  7. See video below. My Fixtures, Interior is set on to show these details in my foundations where I am planning a slab foundation. I like to show and dimension these fixtures so that all the plumbing is installed in the right plan per the main floor plan view overlaying the foundation. https://www.loom.com/share/5a19955b67a64998af3640626365bc86 A sink by itself is set to Fixtures, Interior, but once in a cabinet it changes to CAD, Default Thank you, Steve
  8. Very interesting. I would not be interested in the same number of characters. For now it is working for me as I have laid out and seems to be straight forward for me. Download loom and do a video of your process. I am also interested in greater automation, but it sounds like I would be restricted to name length and having to copy an existing plan to a new plan. I am always updating my .plan and .layout templates tweak by tweak.
  9. I think I have things back in place - maybe a little different, but I am still getting errors when trying to load from the Configurations tab
  10. I was able to change the .bak file and it loaded. I will see how this goes. Seems I need to reset this all back up - hmmm
  11. My computer crashed while Chief was open and now there is no toolbars. I reset it and got my list back, but it still is not allowing me to load my toolbars from the list. Any ideas?
  12. Thank you so much Sir! That worked perfectly!!
  13. I started in X12, so no way of going back to go forward. I'm still waiting on Jay. For now I am following the video above to see what I can make. Thank you
  14. Hi David, I did purchase and download and install the ChiefSymbols, but the files are in .alb from 2003 and do not convert from the Library dropdown. I am still waiting to hear back from Jay concerning this, but was just wondering as I will need to figure something out. I will also watch the video above from Ryan, Tim Schrock does a great job. Do you have the brick and stone library in .calib format? Thank you, Steve
  15. I just got this back... ChiefSymbols <jpalmer@chiefsymbols.com> 9:00 AM (4 minutes ago) to me Hi Steve - Very sorry, but we didn't receive notice of this purchase. We'll take care of it for you; glad you reached out. The link will be sent this morning.

    I have that library. Lots of symbols and easy to work with. Wasn't sure if Jay's symbols were still around. I have a lot of his other libraries too.

    Hi Tommy,
    How can I get my hands on the brick and stone library?

    Thank you,
    Steve

  17. How do I get my hands on it - he is not responding and I just paid $59 for it.
  18. I'm just running into this myself - Anyone?
  19. Here is another video, a bit shorter where I show you step by step how I am connecting the default .plan to the default .layout https://my-plan.stevenyhofdesigns.com/v/7vioKe8EOEbI4QhEN1T5
  20. Thank you! I am using it and it is working great for me. Mind you that I created a new common section CAD Detail which I should not have done. This was an issue only with connecting my new default .layout to older, incomplete .plan files. I have a few to get through and then I will be fine. The few new jobs I have done work perfectly! The old plans I only need to reconnect to my old common section file which takes a second, so not a big deal. I may do a new short to the point video on how to make the .layout file.
  21. Here is a new short video of how I am using my default pre-set views layout moving forward https://my-plan.stevenyhofdesigns.com/v/iUUHnfOLniL3t9y50ga1
