I do as Eric suggested above, but just FYI, the apron is an exact copy of any molding you apply to the sill except that is adjusted to match the thickness of your casing as well as the width of your casing (in combination with the sill) down to a minimum of 1" tall I believe..

Either run a library update... ...or use this...

You're welcome.

Use a slab drawer front from the library for those lower drawers and you will get independent control.

What Mark said. I was just going to take a screenshot or 2. Here are the settings I typically recommend... ...and if you have a layout already started for the project, do this from the layout file and not from the plan file so that the layout file and any referenced plan files are all included in the zipped folder.

Nope. That's the wrong way.

Not something I will likely use either. Its kinda weird f you ask me. This is one instance where I actually think it would be better (at least for me personally) to place the notes on the layout page...an ability we don't have for the notes...something I think should have been included and a suggestion I already sent in.

Nope. That's new to X11. Good eyes William!!

I think the one time I will will most commonly use other plans is to replace the current "As-Built CAD Mask". This way my mask stays live if I have to make any changes to the As-Built, besides that though, yes, for multiple floors... and for Grid Lines.

Rotate/Resize About Current Point. Do a quick search in the Help files.

Just resize the width of that column.

Cool. So you're good then right? I'm going to go ahead and skip posting an example if you have it figured out.

Use your wall schedule to Open Row Object or Find Object In Plan.

Just an aside here… Is it possible that your error handling is written in such a way that the referenced context is never initiated...i.e. it’s not an error, it just results in a blank owner.room?

Yep. Give me a bit though, i’m away from the office at the moment and I have a training session as soon as I get back there. I’ll post something ASAP though.

Gotcha. You can’t actually reference the room because it’s not an object. You would have to reference an object in the room.

Can you possibly be a little bit more specific? They seem to be working fine to me.

Its not just you. Its all of us. You just have to be VERY careful and deliberate about which views you edit those 3D moldings in. You basically have to use a different elevation view for each and every segment that turns a corner or each plane. and only edit one end node at a time making sure to monitor that you did the right thing before moving on to the next.

Same thing I was thinking.

Correct. You do have to be careful with exactly HOW you edit that molding poly line though and you're really better off just using the roof plane to get it shaped correctly before disconnecting it and using it as its own entity.

Nice thought Eric. Good job. What's really great is that X11 fixed the issue with edited roof moldings and gutters. Once those moldings are separated from the roof plane, they remain stable and no longer get deleted when the roof is changed. This means you can use the special shadow board molding behaviour independently of the roof.

I'm just thankful that we can finally do away with using the actual room label. The new room attributes give us full-on Rich text room label capabilities. Super duper awesome supreme.

Easy peasy. For starters it gives the capability of creating a room schedule using callout labels in both plan and schedule.

That's a tricky one in Chief since Chief wants to orient moldings according to the direction the profile was drawn. I can think of 3 options off the top: Drawn the molding polyline(s) parallel/perpendicular to the X/Y/Z axis and then convert to symbol and position appropriately. Use solids instead of moldings Use multiple molding p-lines with multiple molding profiles (some profiles rotated and some not)

So what you're really after is the R-value for the wall type. Is that correct? If so, I think we just need to request an additional attribute for that.
