Now that y'all mention it, possibly it was an upcoming feature in X10. I'm confused. In any event, thank all for taking the time to address it!

Hi, Joe, At the Users' Group meeting in August, it was pointed out that there is a way to automatically link elevation callouts to plan callouts. I've known that the bottom line populates correctly in the plan, based on where one places the elevation in the layout. E.G.: if I move the elevation to a different page, the plan callout changes automatically. But I've always (and continue to) enter the corresponding information in the elevation callout manually. For the life of me, I can't remember how it was done automatically. But thanks for the response. Hopefully, someone from the meeting was taking better notes than I!

Anyone know why, when a Callout Specification DBX is open in an elevation, when I go the Text Below Line field and attempt to insert a macro using Global>Layout Info, the options are greyed out? I thought it might be because I hadn't sent the elevation to layout, but the options are greyed out all the time. I'm trying to automate the callout to associate with the correct page in the layout. I assume I'm omitting a step, but I can't figure out which one.

I was doing that with no success. Turns out I had to reconvert it to a symbol first. Then I could make it treated as a handle.

Aside from creating individual cabinets and applying pulls one at a time, does anyone know the process (if one exists) of importing 3D pulls so they attach to cabinets? I feel like a newbie.

Michael, thanks so much for the info!

I get those all the time. I'd be very curious about any responses you receive.

Thanks for the reminder. Done!

Wonderful, thanks!

I use the wall elevation view quite a bit. It's perfect for kitchens and baths, and in general when I don't want to show anything beyond walls. Two things I REALLY wish we could do with it: Resize its clip plane to expand its width to include adjacent walls. Break it to step its cutting planes. Both of these are possible with regular elevations.

Perry, I never even noticed that!

Interesting, thanks!

That's interesting, and encouraging that it's not just me. Do you happen to remember if it happened before X9? Thanks.

H'mm. Thanks. I'll have to look into this.

In X9 and from 2 separate plans?

In X9?

Yes, it's the wall elevation tool. I've done it many times in the past. No problem pasting between elevation windows in the same plan

Would you consider upgrading your machine? I find that it's necessary every couple of years, especially when Chief comes out with a new version. And I agree with Perry to stick with NVidia. Usually a gaming graphics card works well with Chief. Once I spent a $1k on a workstation graphics card at someone's advice, and it turned out that a $400 card was much faster for Chief. If you do an upgrade, don't do an integrated graphics card (you probably already know this).

Wow, that's cool. Thanks Scott!

Sometimes I'll open a plan and every time I get that at one intersection. I'll delete and rebuild and the issue stops until next time I open the plan.

I'm not having that problem. Thank goodness. But I haven't been working on very large plans. What I've found helpful in the past is to put items with a lot of facets on their own layers that I turn off until I need to see them.

I have pretty fast computers, so it doesn't affect me much, I have noticed a bit of a lag over previous versions. Five years is ancient!

It's in the drop-down list for cabinets. Draw it to any size you wish.

Custom counter top!
