  1. My first thought is do it all as mulled window units. For the lower "units" with the recessed panels, you could adjust the window frame widths and turn off the sashes. Change the glazing material to solid white. Mull everything together.
  2. This technique gets the plan display I like for high transom or clerestory windows - dashed window outline for windows above with solid wall at normal plan section level. Probably old news to some of you, but I thought I'd share. Place your windows Put these high windows on a new dedicated layer (e.g. Windows, Dashed) with dashed linetype. Here's the trick -- make the host wall have a pony wall with the pony wall top height below the sill height of the high windows. Turn on "Lower Wall" for "Display in Plan View." This will get you solid (non-broken) wall display for the wall with the windows showing dashed above.
  3. May be simpler solution... Does this work for you? Add "#" after manual text "A-1.". The "#" will tell Chief to auto update the sheet number.
  4. Thanks for explaining this. I've had the case where two windows that were identical except for their muntin patterns were being scheduled as the same, which confused me. As soon as I added the muntin / grid column to my window schedule they scheduled out as separate. Jim
  5. BTW, Pot Line View is not supported for this -- at least in X16. I came across this limitation when I set up a reference view of multiple buildings on a site plan. Maybe it's fixed in X17?
  6. Shane, Steve of Chief Skills has a video that addresses this along with many other good videos:
  7. No problem Larry. Now, I just wonder what the purpose of that layer is? Is it to represent in plan the wall cleanup? Jim
  8. You might be able to get a pretty good representation by using an offset pocket door. I attached a PLAN file so you can take a look at the settings. TEST BYPASS BARN.plan
  9. One option -- you can manually reposition the label. Just grab its little handle (red dot) and place where it has no conflict:
  10. Wouldn't an overlap at jambs and headers (item 2) by itself fulfill the requirement? Don't need to worry about weatherstripping or flashing at all if I read this correctly. I'd think this would be easiest option as overlap is pretty common on sectional doors.
  11. You don't have to use it. Just unselect the file management option and continue on as before...
  12. Chief replied. Looks like they are doing some cleanup and housekeeping. They recommend what Charles suggested above. Jim
