Put your Formulae into the Line Item in extra and count Columns removing the default CA macros..... However if you mean can you make these a Default for the Material List , I don't think so , but I think you can update the Line Item to the Master List Maybe able to use the Component DBX as Rob mentioned though for the Line Item.... be quite a bit of Work for a whole project though, perhaps if done in your template plan it maybe saved Per item? M.

Thanks BT , appreciate it.....seems to work nicely.... It will if you change the .round(0) to .round(2) in the Macro, BT has set it up to use Fractions (1/8ths) ( 2nd pic), it could be 16th or 32nd or 64th etc. ( change it as needed) He just didn't set it to use them in this particular case, since round(0) rounds to the nearest whole Inch (integer) up or down per normal..... * Note I have also made a few other minor alterations to the Code , so yours may not look the same.... Mick.

Maybe the Chatroom Forum? M.

I think it will drive one 4K screen , but perhaps not multiple monitors , as 4K is usually 3840x2160 ...... you buy at your own risk though at least at Walmart you can likely return it easily if needed.

There is no railing in 3D, are you sure the invisible checkbox isn't checked for the railing? Another issue would be not displaying the balcony framing perhaps ie the floor structure in 3D Always best to post the Plan file but make sure it it close in Chief when you attach it to a Forum post. please do you Forum signature at some point to please , some answer depend on the Version used etc , so that info can be important. M.

did you use an invisible Wall there ? M.

In Premier , in the General Wall Defaults ( Alt-Q) you can turn off the Auto Connect Island Rooms and delete the Room divider, in Interiors this option is not available , at least in Versions up to X11, not sure if that changed in X12 Interiors? * it can adversely effect Room definitions though , so YMMV , so use the Tips above. M.

T/R Works great for this kind of thing , without any worries about the Pivot point and having to lock this or that.... M.

thanks Mark.... for anyone else trying this with Ross's Plan from the OP , note he has already resized the Column in that plan from it's original size ( 26 x 26 x 107 9/16 ) via Open Object to 16" x 16" x 72" so the "halving" doesn't work as expected in that Plan. Either reset the size to Original or start with your own symbol at full size 1st. Then in the Open Object DBX set the Depth to 1/2 M.

Nope , have not seen that ...thankfully .... You haven't made the trusses' material a green "colour" vs the Fir Framing Material have you? ( blending colour is ok afaik though ) M.

Are Shadows on? PS the Green Icon is telling you your Terrain needs rebuilding ( automatic is unchecked most likely)

Perhaps try pausing OneDrive while you Work or at least when you go to Print as Chief automatically updates ALL views in a Layout when it is about to Print. M.

Nothing in the ARCHIVE Folder either? no Auto-Save File available?

No , sorry 1st time I have ever heard of that particular issue, I'd definitely call Tech. Support and start a case... @Dermot may have some insight..... M.

Thanks Joey , didn't you used to have a nice Layout in the Samples Gallery here ? seems it is no longer available.... M.

It appears like you have a Stairwell there which in Chief's "Eyes" is another Room , you are facing towards from the large room , which may account for the weird lighting.....not saying it is right , just the way PBR "sees" Rooms sometimes... M.

I seem to remember it the same way as Glenn .... especially the Headache ...so I'm not surprised it was changed.

Does it not tell you which Layerset it is in when you try to delete it , not sure if it still happens in X12 ? you used to get a warning along with where it was in use.... though it sometimes said "multiple places"

You can't delete layers that are in use ..... There is a button to delete all un-used layers in Layerset Management in X12 at least M.

I believe he is referring to the Information like Type, height, width, elevation from Floor etc etc found in the DBX. It has been asked for numerous time , but has never found any traction AFAIK... M.

Nope I don't think so...... that sounds like a typical AutoCAD "Expectation" though ? if you are a keyboarder Ctrl-E will get you there quicker or you can assign that to a programmable mouse button too. M.

You can also Turn the ALL_Off Layerset on , then turning on only that Text and group Selecting it ALL , then change the Layer Color as desired. This works but I find not 100% of the time as some Items are not using the Layer for Color - those ones you need to open and set them back to using the Layer for Color. M.

Thank You ! .... good to know I am not forgetting things just not current apparently , I learnt that the hard way many versions ago , so have used it ever since without noticing the Change. M.

Do you mean scrolling the inActive Window while hovering? you can disable that if desired/wanted , it's confusing for some in Chief while in Split screen as you can scroll in and out ( zoom) but not really be active in that window. M.

This is a Classic sign that your copy of Chief is not legitimate..... M.
