Try this jonboy ........ note: 1st line of order does not need the + sign, the next 4 do after result indx = $tree['roofplanes'].keys.find_index(id) result = "Roof Plane No# : " + (indx+1).to_s + "\n" result += "Roof Area Sqft : " + area.to_s + " sqft" + "\n" result += "Roof Area Total Sqs : " + areasq.to_s + " sq" + "\n" result += "Roof Pitch : " + pitch + "\n" result += "Slope Angle : " + slope.to_s + "°\n" result ======================================================= Full Macro text file : Roof_Label_Macro_Text File.txt =======================================================

I have found this does not always work 100% of the time if you try multiple files at once, just saw it happen with a Client on Friday actually with about 9 , it just stopped after 2. however the Library>Import Library> ( group select on USB / Server etc) function always seems to handle it just fine whether multiple libraries or just 1. M.

Chief's Core Library has a Walnut - Fine Rich and a Fine Natural which aren't bad , maybe worth tinkering with? M.

Have you seen this KB Article on using Sea Level Height? https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01078/using-real-world-elevation-data-to-create-a-terrain.html Tricking the Auto Story Pole to show SL references is fairly easy, there are Several Posts on Sea Level References here on the Forum. ***Edit: And old post of mine with a Plan you can open with some Notes.... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/17786-story-pole-relocating-the-grade-elevation/?do=findComment&comment=149858

make sure to post the request in the Suggestions Forum then...... M.

Are you installing libraries for the 1st Time or Updating Libraries already installed? cos the Students can run an update every week once installed from the Library Menu. Rene's method may work if you update one machine ( not yours for security) and then have the other 26 Machines use the Same Database Libraries Folder from the Network (assuming the Classroom has one or access to one) IT guy may need to help set that up for you. Downside maybe that everything each student saves to the Library would be saved to each Student computer. Buy 30 Cheap USB Keys and have the Students do it themselves so they know how.... M.

Turn off the Stair railings altogether and then draw your own Straight Railing , setting it to "Follow Stairs" , then change to panels etc just like on the Deck Railing. Mick.

And they wouldn't do it for you ? , I'd have thought they would if both versions were licensed to you ? M.

Note the Link to the X8 viewer in this KB Article in the Green Shaded area. Once the file is opened in the X8 Viewer save it and it will convert it to the new File type for you. YMMV though as if you only have the pl-1 file, the others maybe missing. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00279/opening-legacy-files.html

What Greg meant was go here ..... at least for Brosco Moldings.......... https://www.brosco.com/resource-center/cad-drawings/ if they aren't in the Brosco Chief Catalog already? Chief Library is here : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/977 New England and Windsor1 also have libraries but also not Complete Catalogs https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/712 https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/detail/713 M.

These tuts. in the KB may get you started........ https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00166/creating-a-custom-molding-profile.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00899/creating-a-stepped-molding-profile.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00824/editing-a-molding-profile.html

I think it is there so if you have done a lot of manual changes to the Deck Framing you don't lose those if you need to rebuild it for some reason. M.

19 = 2019 I assume Looks correct to me M.

Reshaping the Wall seems to work okay , delete the small triangular automatic wall with siding that generates on the right

Reshape the Wall Polyline perhaps , but as Eric said easier to diagnose with the Plan available. M.

Thanks BT , I really appreciate you looking at the Sort Order issue/request and re-writing this Macro , so I didn't need to Play with the code you supplied above and figure out where I was going wrong ! And for Supplying the Macro as a standard Text file , so much easier to read etc in Notepad .

Probably changed the number style to Decimal Feet when you were doing your Plot Plan earlier....

1 option possibly, would be the Post with Footing Tool and edit the Footing to the size need , you'd still need to add the Cap yourself though eg with a Slab or P-Solid. If you need to show more material types you may need to add a 2nd Slab or P-Solid.

Ouch ...... I don't think Rob made the claim it was Photo-Realistic , just faster and better than some other views available....... Just set your Raytraces to run after you leave the Office at the end of the Day perhaps.... personally I am hoping for some changes in X12 now Nvidia is supporting RT in Real-time , of course we may not get it to X14 or Xxx?..... M.

A short CA Video showing most of the basic PBR Setup Defaults from the Lets' PBR Thread https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/2426/physically-based-rendering-technique.html M.

No Attachments..........but double check that you have Snaps ON , not just set to 1" ( or 1/2" or whatever you prefer )

If it is an Image you should be able to save it as a Material to the Library and Apply it normally via the Room DBX.

Reference Layer with only Stairs and Ramps Turned on perhaps? M.

You are correct BT, I tried opening the .json Chief saves directly in the hope of comparing your new and old code yesterday and of course got all the hidden text etc etc. The Font Size is way too small to work with easily if you aren't a 20 something anymore I did not think about using a simple copy and paste to NP++ (or even windows NP?) from the Edit DBX and back again if needed. I believe the Help System uses QT framework too and it has a Zoom function , so I wonder why it hasn't been implemented in the TMM/TMM Edit DBX. I have Suggested several times that Chief allow us to Change the Font to our liking through the Program as , at the moment only parts of it respond to the Windows Font settings , maybe in X12 since we got Themes in X11....... Mick.

Good news , luckily Graham had a brain wave
