Are you talking about the same thing that's happening with Patio, Roof at Stairs, and Rear Entry?

Don't forget that we can also control the Schedule Number Start these days.

Just put any new windows onto a separate schedule.

Just to reiterate… If you're using the Orthogonal Movement Method, then the angle should be parallel to or perpendicular to the associated edges, otherwise you'll be using the Allowed Angles (assuming your Angle Snaps are toggled on). Try turning on your Angle Snap Grid while you're going through the exercise and I think you'll see what I mean.

It looks to be working exactly as I would expect Rene. The Movement is behaving entirely differently depending on whether you drag with your left mouse button or right.

That sounds pretty weird. Can you make a quick video showing this? Try move a single rotated line both ways and then a rotated rectangular polyline both ways. In addition to using the right mouse button to activate the alternate behavior, also try just using the Alt key to activate the behavior.

Don't remember. I probably just group selected them and changed them all to match each other though before checking if that material was still being used.

There's an automatic behavior that will rotate the selected edge counterclockwise as you make changes to the dimensions, but its a little hit and miss as to whether or works or not, and you still have to click on the desired dimension. Is that what you're thinking of?

It seems to me like you may just have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the program works with regard to its associative dimensions. You don't change the dimension line, you move the object. That means you must select the object that you would like to move and not the dimension line itself. Once you select the object, then you can click on the desired dimension (assuming the dimension is actually associated with/connected to that object). As a side note, if you're trying to select an object in a busy area, it also helps if you have the same tool type activated as the object type you're trying to move. If for example, you're trying to select the Point Marker that you dropped with your Point To Point Dimension tool, you want to have the Point Marker tool activated an not the Dimension tool. You can also simply switch to the Select Object tool which will select the top object in the draw order and then hot the Tab key to Select Next until you get to the desired object. Again though, you select the object and then edit any one of the associated dimensions.

I'm curious if anyone will be able to find where the "Maple 5" Plank-Natural" is being used. Seems like it might be hard-coded somewhere, maybe for Legacy purposes. I don't know, just a guess. I gave up trying to find it.

Try dragging and hitting tab. First with your left mouse button, and then again with your right mouse button. The left button is your Primary Movement Method and can be specified via Preferences>Edit>Behaviors>Primary Movement Method. The Right button is your Alternate Movement Method. One will be Orthogonal (the one you want), and the other will be Polar (the one you probably don't want). Now when you start dragging and ht Tab, the Enter Coordinates Dialog will open up. This you DO want to change to Polar. You should see that the proper Angle is already set. You just need to enter the desired Distance and then click Enter. You can also get the Angle to properly populate using the Polar Movement Method so long as you have Angle Snaps turned OFF and Perpendicular Extensions toggled ON. You just have to watch for the Perpendicular Extension indicator. When you see it, hit the tab key and use the prepopulated Angle and your desired Distance as already mentioned above. BONUS TIP: You can also hold down the C key as you drag your line, and in doing so, simply use the Concentric Jump setting as set in Preferences>Edit>Behaviors>Edit Type>Concentric

Should it perhaps be on the attic level when you place your vent?

Make sure your correct floor is activated in your elevation view when you place the vent. You probably drew it on a different floor.

+ Various items in Electrical Defaults>Light, Black, and Mouse Wall Niche Defaults>Bone Roof Defaults>Skylight Frame>Dark Siding-6 Wall Type>Lap Siding

Those all look like materials that would be used in either material defaults, wall type definitions or room type definitions. Post a copy of that plan though and one of us will take a quick look.

Are you sure that you went through ALL your defaults? For example, did you check all your Room Type definitions?

I still don't have a GPU that supports RTRT but IMO X13 is still completely worth it.

@Chrisb222, there are no simple settings, especially since words like "Main" and "lower" are obviously subjective. I would suggest a simple text macro. One of these placed directly into an Object Information Field should do the trick: Using to_s and string.sub %floor_number.to_s.sub("0", "Lower").sub("1", "Main").sub("2", "Second").sub("3", "Third")% OR using hash[key] %{0 => "Lower", 1 => "Main", 2 => "Second"}[floor_number]% OR using array[index] %["Lower", "Main", "Second"][floor_number]% Side Note: Are you still on X12 like your signature says?

That will work, but it might also come back to bite you. I would recommend you study what all those tools do. In particular, you just sent the object to the very back drawing group. Now if you place a rug underneath that table, it's going to cover your chairs. I would suggest more refinement in how you sort things in the draw order. Instead of clicking the Send to Back tool, consider clicking the Send Backward tool just to get it so that its either at the back if its current Drawing Group or so that it's just one group back.

Click on the Layer tab and adjust the Drawing Group or use the View Draw Order Edit Tools in your Edit toolbar.

No problem. Depending on your processor speed and on what macro recording software you use, you might need to adjust the delay between keystrokes.

There isn't one. You need to use multiple commands (via hotkeys or mouse clicks). You can either manually do these in sequence or record a macro and assign it to a hotkey. There are multiple routes you could take, but I would probably suggest just assigning hotkeys and using those in the following sequence: Layer Display Options hotkey Shift+Tab (should put you into the Name Filter field) Type out the words "roof planes" (should filter the list) Tab (should move to the selected layer) Spacebar (should highlight the layer if it isn't already) Tab, tab, tab, tab (should activate the Display checkbox) Spacebar (should toggle the Display setting) Enter (should close out the dialog)

Select the Cabinet and then click on the Open Symbol tool. You can adjust the height using the Z Position offset. I would make sure that you haven't done something weird with your cabinet or countertop settings first though.

I have this happen all the time when sending as Plot Lines. I keep forgetting to report it. I always just delete them. I'll report it right now. You should as well.

I haven't actually seen your plan file and it may or may not make any difference in there depending on your various settings, but ceilings planes can and often do cause walls to frame entirely differently.
