I haven't experienced that exact behavior, but I have had a lot of super slow loading, especially in layout. I move something and it takes 10-20 seconds before I can do anything else.

I've never thought of using a DWG viewer to give it a look over before sending, I'm going to start doing this, thanks for that tip!

This is correct. During the beta I was having this issue and reached out to Chief, they suggested deleting all walls in my template plan, then suppressing living area label, then closing and reopening the plan. This worked and now when I draw in the rooms, the living area does not display.

That's the ticket, thank you @tundra_dweller!

I have what feels like a silly question, but I am hoping you all can help me figure out what I am missing. In X17 macros that were reporting any measurement were doing so with the " and ' format, but in X18 i am getting IN and FT. I have a very basic understanding of macros, so I am not sure if it something I'm doing differently with them. But my suspicion is that it is a setting buried somewhere in my plan that I am unaware of. It doesn't seem to be something in text styles or number formating, so I am at a loss of where to look. In the attached plans, you can see that my room label shows the ceiling height as 96 IN, when I'd like it to say 96". Any guidance is greatly appreciated. TEMPLATE - PLAN.zip

There is a tool called "Renumber Schedule", see image. Just select your note schedule and it will pop up in your lower toolbar.

Looks like it's only happening in some tables and not others. In the fixture dialog box it's working correctly.

You are absolutely correct, it is the Windows accent color. It seems like the selected row color of Chief should override this.

Is anyone else having an issue with the color preference "Table Selected Row"? It is working for any table that does not have a Table Alternate Row color, but I'm getting the wrong color being used for the selected row in tables using an alternate row color.

I have this happen too, and it bugs me for some reason, I just send without color then turn color on in layout. Then you can copy your page and just relink the elevation to the next one you need and don't have to go through that.

My favorite is the shower in the kitchen

I'm not sure about the selection issue you are seeing, I am not able to replicate it. You modify the size within the Room specification dialogue, under the Label tab. The size is determined by the text style used, which is found under the Appearance section. You can set it to use the layer text style or you can uncheck that and type in a specific text size.

Yeah, having a different type of panel on each side does add an additional step, it would definitely be nice if they are able to fix it in the custom configuration panel. I run into that set up frequently too, so I feel your pain. I actually never use the auto panel options and always manually place panels, primarily because of the way that they show up (or don't) in plan view. I need more precision than the tool currently offers, it would be nice if they did some work on it to bolster it's abilities. But I have all of my standard side panels saved as library objects with all reveals accounted for, and set at correct depths, heights, height of floor, etc. and made a custom toolbar with them all so I can easily click and place without having to search or use another tool. Might help speed things up for now. Good luck!

If I am understanding correctly, you are just looking for a way to have a side panel applied to the cabinet without loosing that internal boxwork panel? There does appear to be a glitch in the cabinet system that removes that internal boxwork side when you use the custom configuration option for the left or right of the cabinet, and you could report this bug to Chief, they are very good about responding to bug reports. A possible solution in the meantime is to use the Auto Paneled or Paneled configuration in that same drop down. This doesn't have the same issue, and you can set all of your panel details in the Accessories. This also has the added benefit of being able to set the side panels to capture the door front if you want. Hope this helps.

Getting the woodgrain correct at the joints is very simple by using a wall cabinet to create the frame, I think it was actually one of your posts where @MarkMcexplained how to do this. Using the method of creating in insert panel with profiles using CTs then inserting them into a pre set up wall cabinet to create these doors takes me a total of about 30s to get a good looking door that has the materials correct. The downfall is that you can't open the door without the bead coming along, but that's not a deal breaker for me personally. They also look perfectly accurate in 2D displaying the correct reveals between the frame bead and the door stiles/rails. We don't do beaded inset often, but when we do it is usually with wood and not painted. We do modern luxury highly customized cabinetry in a very high end market, and it's part of the aesthetic right now. @MarkMcI have not figured it out yet, are you somehow doing a door within a door? I don't need these very often, but I will keep you in mind should we get into more of them!
