Hi Jason,

Seven years ago you provided me with an NVP that I needed.  As I recall it only took you about a half hour.

I have been requesting the following for several years but haven't received any response other than it's been logged in Chief's database:

• x_position, y_position & angle for Construction lines so I can automate the Callout Labels.
• x_position, y_position for Layout Boxes so I can automate the Callout Labels.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could get these added for me.  I know that Michahel has also made similar requests but his been for "all objects" which I don't necessarily think are needed.

Thanks for considering this.

ps:  Both of us have also requested that Chief's Global macros be made to return editable strings.

Hi I used to have concealed sprinkler and exit signs on the previous versions but on the core catalog on the X14 ae not there.

need to find it, I am doing an apartment renovation set of plans.

How can I get this symbols and the 3D symbol on X14?

Hi Jason,

I checked with several other users in both the Advanced II and Advanced I classes about Skylights.

We're quite happy with the 2D dimensional representation and the ability to specify the "On Plane Size" that was demoed at the UGM.  However, we don't field build the actual skylights.  Typically, we specify a "Velux" skylight or another brand that has a built-in curb & flashing.  Some of these are able to be used as "Egress" and some even have built-in shades.

It would be great if we could have "Skylight Symbols - Flush Mounted" that would have the R.O. size for the hole in the roof that Chief would then use to create the "Roof Hole, Shaft and Ceiling Hole".  It should work similarly to the current "Window Symbols" that cut the hole in the Wall.

ps:  Please note that the "Window Symbols" tool has some bugs that Brian knows about.  Those need to be fixed but essentially the concept is very similar.

Hi Jason,

I sent an email to Brian with some comments about the "Project System" proposed for X15 and some comments about "Ruby" and "TMM".  I asked him to forward it to you as well as to Chris TenBrink and Natalie. 

I don't have your email addresses and I've not had much luck attaching external files to the PMs.

IAE, I hope the comments will help.

I suggest this post is just wrong for this forum.  Maybe it should be removed and membership of the person who posted it reviewed?  Just a suggestion

Jason, if I create a room where non of thew wall connect to my exterior walls, I get a dashed line that runs from the room to the outside wall.  How do I get rid of that line? Thanks

Have used this program before.  Just opened up version 10 and tried to draw a wall.  Wall tool doesn't seem to work. What's up...click on new plan, build, exterior wall, click on floor space and wall tool doesn't connect.  what am I missing?
