TeaTime

Yes, actually! Just not directly from Box to Polyline. Use Convert Polyline to convert it to something, anything, then you can use Convert to Plain Polyline and it'll no longer be a Box.

Be sure to check the Wall Type> Define as well as the Materials panel. Walls can be defined with one material but display an entirely different one. Its best if the Material panel says "Default". for each side.

Please tell me you weren't playing with Notes for 3-4 hrs.

Oh come now! I'm many things but a con-man I am not! Bingo - a technicality, perhaps, but it works.

MAGIC!!! :]

Unless: "CA X6, X10, X11" @madcowscarnival if this^ is accurate, you'll just need to upgrade to automate this. Horizontal framing was only introduced the last year or so.

I think when you're removing the Text Above Line column, it's reverting back to sorting by Text. Re-add that column, sort by it, then uncheck Auto Sort, THEN remove the Text Above column.

Once that column is added, then you can check Automatically Sort By and choose Text Above Line.

@Renerabbitt ya know, you're right. I think maybe we're both right. His screenshots show they are certainly sorted by text, first one descending the others ascending. However the only way the numbers are messed up as a result is if the Text Above was manually entered. The problem is that you can't sort by the "2D Symbol" column, which is reporting the Text Above value. However, @DHerb2014, I think if you add the Text Above column then sort it by that column, you should then be able to remove that column and I think that should keep it reordered in the way you want.

I don't think he is though, even when Sorting by Text, the numbers should automatically reorder themselves, unless there's something I'm missing, 'cause that's what I'm seeing.

That's different though, that just re-adds missing numbers if things have been deleted. I'm actually a bit confused how it got mixed up in the first place since chief auto orders the numbers. When you open the Notes, is the Text Above Line set to the default %simple_schedule_number%? Or did you enter your own numbers?

Unfortunately there's no quick-sort option, but you might try creating a new schedule. To Avoid deleting and reconfiguring it, if you just copy and paste this schedule it'll create a new one with new sorting, I believe based on the original placement order of those notes, and you'll likely get double numbers (1,2 3,2 etc) on both schedules. But if the new schedule looks like what you want, delete the original schedule and move on. If not, I'm not sure there's a better way of sorting them apart from manually dragging rows.

Check the Wall Definition and make sure the outermost layer isn't checked as Framing. Very easy mistake to make and messes up your walls something fierce.

Press F9. Then Press F1 and search "Reference Display"

I believe that comes from the scheduled objects themselves. Find the associated objects (countertops or cabinets) and check the Label panel associated. The Text Style it's using should be setting that size. So if the countertops listed here were generated from cabinets, check the Cabinets, Labels layer, if they're custom counters, check Polylines 3D, Labels

Sorry Griz, I'm only just now seeing this. Glad you got it to work! Yeah, it's a hard lesson to learn, but the best advice is to simply never move the plan. Move site/terrain instead. There's a lot less to break that way. But either way, yes, make sure all appropriate layers are displayed and you'll be a much happier person!

Used Edit Area to select the stuff off-site, flipped it 180°, drew CAD Line down and another over, from relative corners to find the distance in both directions: X: 4923 77/128" Y: 1842 23/64" Transform Replicate. You're gonna have to rip out and redo the electrical connections though. They're... not well. And your dimensions need some gentle massaging, but it's not a complete loss of time. Edit: I did the transform on the All Layers ON set, with all layers actually turned on -- except Electrical Connections and Dimensions. Best not to move those, just adjust them after.

Numbering can be easily adjusted on the Schedule just by dragging the rows around, I understand it's not automated by any means but it doesn't take much time or effort. Maybe some day we'll get a more general "schedule from selected" feature, but for now we'll work with what we got.

It sounds like you're looking for a "create schedule for selected objects" feature, which doesn't exist. At least not for general objects. The thing that can do exactly that is Notes. But it means you would have to place a text Note on or near each item you want to add to said schedule, manually add the Text for that object, then create a Note schedule that then references that note. Here's a video that shows them in action: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/91/using-notes-note-schedules.html Not exactly what you seem to be after but it's what we have to work with.

Check out Walls with Footings + Slab at Top of Stem Wall You can edit the walls to behave as your slab footing.

you can't "split" them, just reshape one to a winder shape, draw another and reshape it to fit. You could also select the one that's there and press Copy/Paste in the edit toolbar at the bottom, then click Paste Hold Position, giving you two square landings in the same place, then just use the edit handles to reshape them both appropriately.

It looks like you got it, you just need to make sure the respective Layer Sets are only showing what they need to show for that view. Foundation dims are on in both, Plan dims on in both, Post Layout view is the only one set to show only the relevant dimensions.

Both Foundation Dimension Defaults and Post Layout Dimension Defaults are set to use the same Dimensions, Plan layer. You'll want to create separate layers for each to really separate them. Same with your Text defaults, they're both using the generic "Text" layer.

If I'm reading all this right, what it sounds, and looks like in that picture, is that dropbox is just not syncing that file. So when you save it to drop box, you can open it and it's fine, but it doesn't show up online, and other people either don't see it or see an older version? This has got to be a Dropbox issue, not a Chief Architect issue. I would try not opening the file directly from the dropbox folder. Copy it somewhere on your computer, open it, work, save it, then copy that to Dropbox. I don't use Dropbox specifically, but all cloud backup type programs have to wait until a file is unused before it can sync it, so as long as you're messing with it, it'll just never happen. Apart from that maybe there's a way to trigger it to upload? that I'm not sure about. But I would try to use Dropbox as more of a manual backup/share situation, and avoid saving/loading directly from that location.
