Hmm that's unfortunate. Some of these doors have been customized pretty heavily. It's not a ton of work but it does add up. Live and learn I suppose.

Normally, no. This basically came from a city asking to mark which doors would be required to meet the min SHGC/U-Fac and since some of my interior door have glazing it seemed the easiest way to denote this on the schedule would be to show which are EX/IN using the built in schedule column... this of course led to some EX being marked IN.

Got it! Is there a way to change it's "stipes" if I've made an oops or are "turn coats" not allowed in CA?

@dshall I'm resurrecting this thread as I'm having the same issue and wondering if things have been updated to X15 that I'm not aware of or if you've found any additional workflow tips? My specific issue is I have a multi-fold door off a master bedroom onto a balcony but for some reason CA thinks this is an interior door. I did notice that another similar door off a bonus room shows that the "Balcony" was only renamed Balcony and that the exterior room was actually a "bonus" room. It is possible I placed this first and then copied it to the other side of the house. It's also possible that in both cases I drew the room, placed the door, then changed the exterior room type. Judging by previous conversations drawing in this order may lock that door type as an interior door?

Hello, I'm currently in process of wanting to expand the studio; as such I'd like to find someone that could help on a regular basis help with all types of redlines (owner, internal, city comments builder, etc). Please reach out to discuss further details and work load. Thanks!

Yes I did however I may not have been inputting the correct terms. Everything I was finding was relating to turning the tags on or off. I'm hoping to find a solution so I can number the rooms the same way I do with other electrical/plumbing fixtures. Thanks so much for that! I was hoping to simply add the room number to the underside of the room label in a more specific way. I may have to go this route for now at least. Thanks so much!

Simply put I want to display a room "label" or "tag" in addition to displaying the room name. In other words I want my drawings to have numbered labels like the attached photo so on the finished schedule I can sort by this instead of "Bedroom" or "Bathroom" of which I multiple. Is there a way to assign these "tags" to the rooms the same way I can do so with windows and doors? Thanks!

Curious if anyone else has come across this issue. When "Tabing" text within the rich text box the display will often show correctly but the actual layout on the page shows incorrectly. I assume I'm doing something incorrectly. Anyone come across this? Have solutions? P.S. I'm realizing as I type this that setting up a table may be my solution but still the issue is there and would like to understand what I'm doing incorrectly. Thanks!

I'm really trying to figure out why it is so hard for you to simply answer questions kindly and without a condescending attitude; or to simply not answer at all. Truly fascinating. The OP asked a question to which you replied "check help" as if she hadn't started there... which isn't a helpful response but certainly makes you seem superior. JacobB, a year later, (and only after I brought this back to life and you again responded condescendingly) gave an actual helpful answer which was that there is no way to do what OP is asking for BUT he's seen work arounds in the forum (not the "helpful" help menu as you suggest). As if that conversation wasn't enough for you, you felt it necessary to double down and again reference the help menu and not answer the question at all; amazing. Thankfully there are many others on this forum who really do want to help. Not only was your answer not HELPFUL but it was dead wrong as it suggested that the menu would have the solution; it didn't. You have so much knowledge that could really help out your peers, it's a shame you waste your energy talking down to people and making them hesitant to ask questions in the future. For myself and so many others this forum is the perfect intersection of efficiency and knowledge... the engineers at CA did a decent job organizing the "help" tool but it is far from perfect. I've done what you condescendingly suggested so many times to know that the "help" menu is a waste of time and energy in almost all cases. Even if there is an answer, it is the answer CA wants you to have not necessarily the best answer, as evidenced by this conversation; "CA help" said it can't be done and yet the Forum (not the help menu) yielded not one but two solutions. Wasting my time attempting to sort through the maze that is the help menu is ludicrous; I'll only ever "quickly skim". Thanks so much for your detailed explanation with Screenshots. This solution (together with the follow up comments) was a great solution! Agree 100% that having the ability to do this in the menu from chief would be such a nice addition to the next update. This was such a great help... here is what I got with all your help! A 5068 opening (1668+3068). Thanks for all who helped!

Hey Christy, Did you ever find a helpful answer to this question? I'm wondering the same thing and a quick skim through the built-in help menu yielded no results. Have a good one!

Is there a good video on how to best use all these features together? I've not normally gotten into needing to use the terrain features but this project has sparked a deep desire to want to learn to master this. I don't fully understand how to manipulate the Elevation Regions for example and would love to figure that out. Thanks for all your feedback!

Ya, Oof is right. Thanks a ton for the help. Doing what you suggested now. Hopefully it all goes well.

I did a quick search through the forums for a solution to this so my apologies if this has already been covered. Here is what I've got... I was sent a PDF of the Site survey that was done previously. The previous surveyor doesn't have the CAD so I can't simply import that data the data I do have does not have contour lines only pin/nail points from the corners of buildings and other important site features. What are some best practices (after I've scaled the pdf in .plan) to getting this to work out right? I've played with adding point markers and creating my own couture lines but it isn't coming out right. any ideas? Thanks! 34786 Calle Loma, Dana Point PDF (1).pdf

So I just "upgraded" my graphics card from the P1000 to the RTX 3070 ti. I was expecting a marked difference considering the benchmark specs but the rendering time is actually considerable longer. Has anyone else had this experience?
