Liz, Search for "custom muntins" under help. This tool allows you to define window muntins how you want. Jim

Agreed! I'm gonna try it out tomorrow. Jim

I took a stab at this and made some progress. My attached test PLAN (X17) is simpler example, but should apply to your condition. I drew CAD helper lines in elevation to be able to get exact measurements for the heights, radius, etc. I think the key is selecting the "double arch" type for the shallow arc shape of the arch. Right or Left Arch for the side units and Full Arch for the middle unit. Mulling the units together did not work perfectly, but you might have better luck. Good luck!

Christopher - It's already there. It's just hiding off to the side. Jim

I've done projects where voice/data is by others. I think your approach of delegating to the homeowner is okay. Cable and copper lines are not entirely obsolete. Cable is still very common for internet service. As for phone lines, I can still get DSL in my building if I wanted. I have an elderly neighbor who has problems working his smart phone and he probably should get a phone line hooked up just for his own safety. I imagine once you run cable and phone to the home, it's not that much more cost to run it to a few rooms. As for ethernet, a lot of home owners like data wiring just for its reliability. No wifi connection issues. Jim

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you're right. Missed that.

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

Good workaround

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?

Shane, Steve of Chief Skills has a video that addresses this along with many other good videos:

No problem Larry. Now, I just wonder what the purpose of that layer is? Is it to represent in plan the wall cleanup? Jim

Larry, Check this layer:

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

One option -- you can manually reposition the label. Just grab its little handle (red dot) and place where it has no conflict:

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.

You don't have to use it. Just unselect the file management option and continue on as before...

Chief replied. Looks like they are doing some cleanup and housekeeping. They recommend what Charles suggested above. Jim

Tech support ticket submitted. I'll report back once Chief replies. Jim

Thanks for confirming. - Jim

Shayne, I see you can schedule out 3D exterior vs 3D interior elevations. This is a window schedule from X17. Is the issue related to this maybe? Jim

Same with bathtubs. No bathtub / faucet combos...

I updated my X17 core catalog just now. Looks like all the sinks with faucets have been deleted or relocated (?). Anybody know where they went? As reference, X16 had 111 results: X17 has 58 results. Looks like sink/faucet combos have disappeared...
