Both texts say they are the same. Yet the rich text box looks bold and much bigger.

Where would one find the Header label text settings. When I go to framing specification (header) I don't see a text option but 6" arial rich text and 6" arial in the header text looks way different. I would like them to look the same.

I would enjoy learning what other have found is the best Font and Size for Plan and Layouts that is not Chief Blueprint. I need to change all text to a font and sizes that works for Rich Text and also keeps regular text looking the same as the rich text. Not only text but dimensions also. Maybe there is a way to do this globally so that it does not have to be done for every single dimension set and each text set?

GOT IT. SELECT THE UNIT INDICATOR IN NUMBER FORMATTING.

How did you format the numbers to include sf?

I don't really understand why there is an option for rich text and regular text. However, I decided to automate my plan square footage information using the polyline schedule methods from this When placing a schedule in layout it does not give much look option and rich text is not an option. I would like to get the text in the top box (schedule) to look like the bottom box which was the manually placed rich text. The rich text looks so much better. It's the same font same weight but looks so different. Is there a way to get schedule text to look as good as rich text?

The grade level needs to be 36" below the bottom of the floor joists but it seems to pick a random place in the middle of the floor.

I am struggling with some foundation settings and cannot seem to figure it out. I need exterior footings to extend a minimum of 12 inches below undisturbed ground to reach the undisturbed soil. Then the grade (ground level) Then 36" of CMU block (because it is in a flood zone and required) Then the sill Then the floor structure 12 5/8 Then 1/2 of floor covering The first and second floor is 10' (finished ceiling 120") I set my terrain perimeter to -56 5/8" at contour 0 but I don't think that has anything to do with what the story pole dimensions say. I must have one or more of the definitions wrong below because the story pole dimentions show my grade and other wrong. These are the definitions I use: Floor above = the top of the second floor or the ceiling height of first floor plus the floor structure (12" or 16") Ceiling = the top of the floor sheathing to the top of the ceiling drywall Finished ceiling = top of floor material to bottom of ceiling drywall Ceiling Below = the bottom of the floor joist (top of sill plate) to grade (level of dirt) Stem Wall = top of block wall to top of footings (no sill plate) Floor below is the grade. Set the floor below at the depth you want from the bottom of the floor joist to the grade. Set the ceiling below to be how much you want the foundation to show above the grade. Set the Stem Wall height to 12" The stem wall height is the height of the concrete block wall from the top of the footer to the bottom of the floor joist. In Virginia Beach, exterior footings must generally extend a minimum of 12 inches below undisturbed ground to reach the undisturbed soil, and also to or below the local frost line, which is 12 inches in this area.

I am able to display only living area, porches and garage. Just trying to figure out what I should provide at a minimum.

I saw in one example the %area.to_sq_m.round(2)% formula was in the polyline custom object fields. In the other one I did not see a physical formula anywhere.

Thanks. Helpful. I am guessing one would draw the polyline around the area they want or "make room polyline" Drag that off to the side of the drawing, or on a separate layer. Include in schedule, and do that for each area they want included. At the end a person would have a bunch of polyline shapes like you have each drawn from the plan and dragged off to the side or on a separate layer that can be turned on and off? Should I have that formula %area.to_sq_m.round(2)% in macros someplace or is that information known?

OK. How would one accomplish this? Can I pay for help?

I have a box in my plans that I would like to populate with square footage for the different areas listed. It would seem that this is common and there would be a tool that made this effortless. Yet, I think I need to figure out custom Macros? If anyone has a great way of doing this with easy automation I would enjoy learning it. I will even pay someone to jump online and help me get this working.

I need the roof ridge where the two roofs join to be fascia like the picture. I am not sure how to accomplish this. Would I change the roof ridge in settings to a facia like material?

I have a gambrel room with the first pitch at 40:12 and the second 6:12. Using manual roof plans, I drew the 40:12 on the first floor and the 6:12 pitch on the second floor. However, I need to show an eve. but I cannot figure out how to get the facia to move out from the wall to get the soffit to show. I tried boxed eves but it is not a box eve. Any help on getting the soffit on this roof like the pictures?
