In my completed drawing any way to change ONE wall. say the garage wall into the house to have 1/2 drywall on one side and 5/8 on the other. when I select ONE wall and define that wall with 1/2 on one side and 5/8 on the other it changes all walls in the drawing!

is there a way to duplicate a plan view then rename and save that view. after that is done can the call out labels be on in one view and off in the other. I turn on labels in one view then save that view. I then switch to the other view and turn off label and save that view now labels are off in both saved plan views?

Any way to make the length column report in feet and inches

How can the size of the symbols in 2d or plan view be increased all of the switch and plug symbols are to small when sending to layout.The layout page is 24" x 36" the house is 8500 sq feet so it needs to be sent at 1/8"= 1' to fit on page.

I have changed my rafter type to lvl my engineer said I need new spacing so I auto rebuild roof to 16" oc from 24" oc. After doing this all of my rafters are now listed as ( lumber ) (not lvl ) trying to set default rafters to lvl when auto rebuilding so my schedules will list proper material and size

no trick just wanted to change on a global scale after looking deeper I changed in the default setting after I did this all interior walls changed

how to change all interior wall types at one time

if I place a roof rafter schedule in the roof plan turn on labels they label as such T35 then when I do a materials list they are labeled different as R25 they have no connection to each other if I print a materials list and then look at the printed plan how do I know what is what without two labels for same framing member.

In the framing roof list why is there no valley or hip rafter just rafters blocking, facia,header,lookout, and ridge am I missing something..?

Any easy way to put a materials list on a page in layout

Any way to list the weight of an item and a total weight based on the count I would like to use for shipping calculations in the pic I have items listed that weigh 1500 pounds each thanks I would like for this to show in a materials list

that was not the point all of the other categorys in symbols type will go to a schedule so I thought this was no exception my mistake

why would chief let you create a symbol typ ( geometric shape ) that could not go to a schedule? does not make much sense that they would create an unusable category.

any way to get a symbol created using the drop down box (geometric shape ) to go to a schedule

when I created the symbols I used geometric shape in the drop down box any way to get geometric objects on a schedule there are thousands of symbols of different types all on the geometric drop down

some pics of settings and symbols in drawing and schedule none of the symbols listed chief 1.tiff chief 2.tiff chief 3.tiff chief 4.tiff

how to add a new symbol that I drew to a schedule Layer geometric shape. Drawing group - fixture/furniture

Pic to help see problem

I have a retaining wall made of block symbols stacked 9 high and 100 long the third row from bottom I had to replace with different type after I did this in the 2d view the third row now show at the top of wall. it seams like the last items placed in plan shows at top any way to make the 2d view right. place three symbols all with different labels on top of each other the bottom is 1 middle 2 top 3. now the 2d view will show 3 as top. Now delete symbol 1 and replace at same elevation view in 2d. Now symbol 1 shows as top. but the symbol is below 2 ad 3 (this is my best explanation )

thanks for the answer but if I start new plan that works. In the plan I am working on the section camera callouts don't want to turn off. Is there possibly a setting somewhere that would not let the callout be turned off. if I insert a callout they behave correct. only camera used as callouts don't work.

If I use a section camera as a callout and put it on a layer should I be able to turn that callout off in different plan views

problem solved: In the adjust lights layout if you are in a 3d view (Physically Based ) a new box is available ( lighting mode) you can change from automatic to ( light Set ) after this is checked any lights or number of lights that are on in plan inside or outside will now cast light in your view. A inside light will cast light onto the outside ground from inside through a window

I would need some other media to post file the plan size is to large

I have tried that I turned on all lights and did a Perspective full overview physically based all lights worked and cast light that were labeled outside ( 48 lights ) yes 48 in the view.. The lights that are under the patios did not work. I later zoomed inside a patio area and added a wall light as soon as I did the lights that were off on patio ceiling were all on? so I zoomed out of patio area the lights stayed on as soon as did something for screen to refresh the patio lights went out all other lights labeled outside stayed on????

all lights are off but the front porch the program seems to not want to put the lights in use here is a pick with all lights off except for porch lights as you can see the one porch light that I moved to outside eve works?
