I would like to do a double door in my floor plan with custom sized panels (left panel larger than the right panel). Unfortunately, this option is grayed out. I know I've done this before, but am having the darndest time getting that option to be available. Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

I have been trying to do this exact thing. I have turned off the Opening Header lines layer and have hidden the top edge and still see this.

Uh yeah... ignore me. I had lines drawn behind it  

LOL, I wasn't worried about the 0,0 because I'm basically supplying a few drawings (roof plan, floor plan, details) for a designer who is doing elevations, etc by hand. I have no idea how in the world that happened. I was literally getting ready to print and everything looked great, then I went back through the pages for a double check and everything was screwed up! Needless to say, I sat with my face in my hands for a while that evening.... lol.

Thank you for figuring that out. I swear, I've never even locked a layer!!!

Here is the file (pardon the errors, it is still in progress, lol)

I have no clue what I managed to do, but suddenly random items are showing up on my roof plan and cannot be selected. A dryer (but not the washer), select shelves, a shower column, a towel warmer and a range hood. I can see the items in elevation, but cannot select them. I cannot see the items in plan view. I don't know how to fix this error if I can't select them and open them to see what may have happened. Has anyone had this happen before and know the solution? Here is a screenshot of my plot (and yes, this was timed perfectly to happen just before my deadline to get the drawings to the engineer, so I sent them to him like this explaining the glitch... omg):

Well, that's interesting! I was referring to row height, not column width, but I'm not sure how you managed to get such a tight row height in yours!

Thanks Mick. I have done this, and it does certainly help, but not quite enough.

Yeah, such a bummer to turn it off. I feel like it offers so much clarification.

I love that I can easily create a door and window schedule with Chief, and the new (ish)  "3D Elevation" feature is spectacular EXCEPT that it creates so much wasted space and is difficult to fit on a page. I know that I can adjust the column widths, but is there really no way to make the row heights a bit shorter so that the image isn't floating in space (without turning it into CAD and losing all of its intelligence)?

If anyone knows a way to do this, I would love to hear it!

Thank you Chopsaw! I knew it was some simple thing I was overlooking!

I have drawn these several times now, and while I'm getting more comfortable with roofs, I keep finding the most ridiculous things stumping me. Today is that I have a roof with an eave that partially covers a deck. I am trying to get this CA drawing:

To look like this hand drawing (and I'm not worried about windows, siding, or the fact that the deck is floating just yet- just trying to get that eave to show properly:

Thougths are appreciated!!

Oi- so aggravating.

Thanks guys.

Hey Mark- how are you getting around the schedule challenge? Code? Comments? I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this- it seems pointless to put it in if it doesn't show up in the schedule.

I have a sink in my cabinet and am trying to create a fixture schedule. When I click on the item to edit it, I'm not sure how to change the label without changing the label of the cabinet. It seems no matter what I do, it is retaining the default label of "Oval Undermount Sink..." I want it to be PL-12

Thank you all- I misunderstood what the OP was referring to.

I'm not sure if this was ever resolved, and I'm looking to do something similar (maybe the same thing?).

I have been trying to figure out how to change the call-out labels for electrical. If I use a call-out, the shape is huge and in the way. All I want is the text "E01, E01, etc.". 

I chose "Show Labels" from the schedule and "Include Schedule Number", but that includes the complete description as well! Do I have to go through every plan and manually label?

Eric's got it for the most part- where you have the green railing in the second photo, I want there to be nothing. But, I DO want those taller balustrades.The way Joe and Rob show/describe puts the railing next to the stairs, not stopping at the tread, the way Eric has it.

Eric's solution in the link worked- the trick is getting it JUST under the railing!

Oh, lol! Sorry Eric!

I'm sorry, I cannot see how to upload a plan- too big. 

Yes, I did try this- I can turn them off and on individually. I just want to make sure the left side is a different style than the right side. Like this image, except that I want the balustrade wall they show to stop at the stair tread.

Okay, I turned off the railing on the wall side here, because it was less distracting. I do want a railing on the wall though. I just don't want it to match the railing on the open side.

Hi Doug, 

Thanks- I did do this search and did not find a relevant response. 

I am working on these stairs and I want to have the look we can see on the open side, but a single wall handrail on the other side. I tried removing the rail on the balustrade side and drawing a rail, but that deleted my wall under the stairs, so I'm wondering if there is a better way.

Pardon the imperfections- the design/drawing is not done yet.

I have tried looking up videos and maybe my search simply did not bring up the right video, but I want to place a rope light in my wall railing on stairs. It seems there is no option to angle the rope light, is this correct?
