Use a Materials List Polyline instead.

I feel like Chief has more capability in this regard than they're generally given credit for. We already can essentially import effective point cloud type data for site measurements using a number of different approaches and file formats including: Using the Import Drawing tool which allows for the Import of various dwg and dxf files (both of which can contain a whole slew of 2D vector data as well as elevation data) Using the Import Terrain Data tool which will allow for importing text based point data in a number of different file formats including txt, csv, xyz, dwg, dxf and others. This point data can include x, y, and z coordinates and can be used to automatically import and generate terrain elevation data. Using the Import GPS data tool which can also import both vector, point, and elevation data using the gpx file format The key to making it all work is really just exporting or converting the point cloud data into a usable file type which is oftentimes very easy, particularly considering some of the hardware/software combinations aren't technically producing a strictly defined "point cloud" anyway and are actually already just being natively generated in one of the aforementioned formats.

Oh, you're good, you're very good!.

A couple options: Use Mark's method and just create a custom symbol for that side panel Use the method I posted but change all the Separations and/or Blank Areas on that one side to Inset Side Panels.

You essentially have 4 options: You leave the ridge sloped like you have it now. You make the ridge level and slope the eves by simply making the baselines parallel with the ridge. You square up the roof without changing the walls below... You model the roof in its current plan view shape with both the ridge and eves level. This however would require some very complex and time consuming modeling and would cost a lot more to build. In order to have both the eve and ridge level when the they are not parallel, you essentially end up with an infinitely variable roof pitch (which is why you aren't getting a simple answer). It would look somewhat like the roof planes posted in the following thread except that in your case the ridge and eve in plan view are non-parallel whereas in the referenced plans, the ridge and ever are non-parallel in elevation view:

This is how you snap to those newel posts:

Not true. Edit>Delete Objects Set to All Pages, and select just Revision Entries

I don’t think he realized that you could link the entire layout all at once. I think he was doing one page or view at a time.

My suggestion: Draw Plan A and send to Layout A Make changes to Plan A and Save As Plan B Open Layout A, Tools>Layout>Referenced Plan Files, Browse to Plan B, click Okay and then Save As Layout B Make changes to Plan B and Save As Plan C Open Layout B, Tools>Layout>Referenced Plan Files, Browse to Plan C, click Okay and then Save As Layout C ...and keep repeating

I just read your previous post again and this line caught my eye this time: I think perhaps what you need to do is go into your wall definition and make sure Max Plate Length for your framing layers is unchecked.

Try dragging them to your Trash bin.

Not sure about Mac, but on Windows, you can't delete them but what you can do is simply click and drag another white or gray filler color to replace them. You might also try dragging them and dropping them outside the dialog to see if that removes them (kinda like we do for tools on the toolbar).

Sent you a PM

Never even thought about it till just now because I've personally never put them in a plan. I think the proper way to draw though is like this: And 3D is something like this:

Goodness no. A tilt and turn window is a different thing entirely. They are like a hopper and a casement had a baby...then that baby grew up, went off to college, and found a nice hinged door...

I believe @glennwis correct and that you are seeing your sills, however, the display of those sills is controlled by the "Casings, Exterior" and "Casings, Interior" layers

Depending on the look you're going for, you could also use a Double Awning or Double Hopper to mimic a mulled unit look into a single window. Just set both the Top and Bottom Components to Fixed and then you'll get options in the Lites tab for Lites on Top and Lites on Bottom.

Go into Structural Member Reporting and Increase Priority for the longer material lengths and/or Delete the lengths you don't want reported.

Yeah. Same. I almost never use global variables for anything these days and recommend against them whenever possible as well. For what its worth, I wouldn't be recommending global variables for this issue either.

Create a dummy/place holder object (a Note maybe), set it to Include in Schedule As and set to a new Custom Category called "Placeholders". Set your Schedule to Include that new Placeholders Category and then drag the item to wherever you want it in the list.

Select the Slab, click the Convert to 3D Solid tool, and then simply select by one of the sides and Rotate.

Use a normal cabinet with a custom side.

Yes. I have some tricks that I've uncovered/developed, and that I have shared through my subscription Mailer, but not that I plan to share here on the forum. If you want to set up a consultation session, I'd be happy to walk you through some of the basics though.

Don't believe there is any way to stop those from generating if you have border planks turned on.

Nope. But there are some decent workarounds. I shared one here: Here's a modified version of that same example plan a little closer to what you're doing. The key pieces are the pass through openings and the secondary walls to hold the pocket doors. If you want to show the pockets in your walls, you'll have to do that with CAD. Pocket Corner.plan
