I think you're full of $#!+

I think he is trying to add to a Child Tool Palette which isn't possible.

It won't be me. I've personally never needed it.

I see. Yeah, I never uploaded to YouTube using that tool. I always uploaded directly through YouTube itself. I’m away from my computer, so I can’t check myself, but what does the share button do?

I’m unfamiliar with the feature you’re talking about. I always just copied links directly from YouTube.

To rotate objects for reuse in another plan, either group select or use one of the Edit Area tools. The latter group of tools are far more robust and do things a simple group select cannot. The Rotate Plan View tool is the wrong tool for the job and essentially just rotates the drawing board. Although there are a couple other good uses, I typically only use that tool for temporarily reorienting myself for off angle work and for Plot Plans.

are we talking about standalone licenses or additional licenses? Because there’s a big difference between the two. Additional licenses have never been transferable, so I’m not sure if anyone should be surprised.

Not sure. You should definitely always send in requests for things you need though. The more request the get, the higher up the priority list it will move.

Maybe try to use a Material List Polyline instead.

As Mark alluded to, I don't believe you'll find that setting in the Defaults, only in the actual dimension string after the fact.

Open Row Object is a good way for sure. Thanks for the reminder. The Components tab on the other hand doesn't actually work like that. It will only change the Description as it reports to the Material List. If its just the Description we're talking about, there's one other way too: Open the cabinet, select the Face Item, click Edit, and then click on the Components tab. For a Top/Appliance or fixture this would be done on the Accessories tab.

Specifically what information are you attempting to change? The Label? The Description? Something else? To change the Description if your cabinet only has ONE fixture: Select the cabinet, click the Open Symbol tool, and simply change the Symbol Name. To change the Label (and/or the Description if the cabinet has more than one fixture): Drop the appliance into your plan as a freestanding object, change the Label, Add to Library (just temporarily even), and then place in your cabinet. I for one don't usually place fixtures as parts of the cabinet though. For accuracy reasons and for more refined control, I much prefer to just place the opening in my cabinets and then place the fixtures as freestanding objects.

By the way, you can also precisely shape your wall while its still straight AND THEN curve it.

I would have probably plotted similar to what you tried in your second post. Here's another method to play with though. Draw a straight section of wall using whatever tools you'd like and then use the tool I posted in the thread below to curve it...

I could easily spend several hours teaching a class on this one subject, but the short answer as that I use a number of methods to manipulate symbols including but not limited to: Using the Delete Surface tool to delete unwanted surfaces. Using the Solid and Face tools to add surfaces where I need them. Combining the symbols with other symbols to add required components when necessary. Maybe I find a tub that I like in one place and some tub feet that I like in another place. Using Stretch Planes to modify 3D geometry Using a number of special methods to curve any given portion of a symbol Using a number of methods to actually slice off portions of any given symbol Using the Material Painter and Adjust Material dialogs to modify the materials on any given surfaces. Sometimes this requires deconstructing the symbol into multiple pieces so that I can paint the sub-components separately. Using the Convert to Symbol tool to create a new symbols with the desired faces removed and or added. Commonly this requires multiple generations of the symbol to get from Point A to Point Z Lots and lots of little tricks that all add up to the ability to get most of what I want right inside Chief.

I rarely use Sketchup for anything anymore. In fact, I don't believe I've modeled anything outside Chief for several years now. I can model most anything I need right in Chief, and if I can't, I usually just find something online that's close enough and/or I import an existing model, delete surfaces, and otherwise further modify or add to the model to create what I need.

The corrupted version is still here in this thread.

I really don't think that's the problem in this case. That solid has become corrupted somehow and I hope you send it in to tech support for further evaluation.

Those settings were actually new to X14.

How exactly did you arrive at that tub shape? The reason I ask is that the object isn’t behaving at all like a normal solid in that none of the faces have any proper polyline definition, there are overlapping faces (which you can see if you explode the object), you can’t extrude or place holes in any of the faces, etc.

I see it sometimes too. I just delete it.

The best method depends a little on your desired output. Can you show us an example of what you'd like your panel schedule to look like?

This isn't currently possible. You can set your own codes in all the Components in your Default Settings but not all object have defaults and not all Components are accessible from the Defaults. You can also set all the desired codes in your Master List which can be done before you start your plan, BUT, even after all the work put into generating that Master List (which I think will be far more than you think), you'll still have to Update From Master (which would have to be done after the fact and in a pretty specific manner if all you want to do is change the accounting codes). I know its not what you want, but I'm going to very strongly recommend you abandon your current course and just use a spreadsheet template to make the changes. Copy/paste or export/import is a very small price to pay for avoiding all the problems you're going to run into.

Ya, I knew they were there too. What I guess I was really trying to communicate is that I didn’t know if any other way they could be copied aside from those drop downs.

It’s not a query of time log entries. It IS the time log entry. It’s how you edit the time log entry and it’s how you create a new entry manually. The title is Selected Entry not Selected Entries.
