I know it might sound like a pain, but at this point, just consider producing you prints in 3 steps: 1. Print your set minus the page or pages that need rotated elevations. 2. Rotate everything on your Template Page or Page 0 (including the Drawing Sheet) to accommodate the rotated elevation page(s) and print just those pages. 3. Combine pages in PDF editor.

Can you just rotate EVERYTHING else and print portrait instead of landscape?

You get a lot more than just upgrades with SSA, plus, no one says you need SSA to upgrade. There's no reason you can't just wait till they release new versions and then pay the upgrade fee at that time.

Here's one I threw together for you on the house. The material definitions could probably use some work though. Rustic Wine Barrel Sink (block).calibz NOTE: I made a couple very minor improvements to the materials and edited this post to replace the one piece library symbol with a block that includes the separated countertop and sink so you can easily adjust those as desired.

Yes and no. Can be done in layout by sending multiple cropped views of a single column text box. Or in plan by using multiple text boxes and custom macros. There’s no built in function that will do this automatically in Chief though.

I'm not so sure I understand what you're talking about. Can you show an example? Is it the columns you're having trouble with, the bullets, or both?

I'm not so sure this would address the issue being discussed. We can already control which pages get printed in the Print dialog and as has already been mentioned we can also exclude pages by setting to Use as Page Template. What I think we really need is a Make Page Inactive checkbox that essentially just causes Chief to ignore the page entirely without breaking its link to the proper Template. Ideally this would be available on Right Click from the Project Browser as well.

I can confirm that there is a problem with the sand pattern. That pattern seems to be comprised of nothing more than single points (no lines) and Chief seems to be unable to properly process that point data in Live Views. Use a different pattern or use Plot Lines.

I could probably write you a custom macros for this purpose, but there are a couple easier options. @Michael_Gia already mentioned one of them when he said... Another much easier option is to simply place the desired numbers of pages manually. Yes, its an extra step, but its pretty easy to just enter the number you want instead of jumping through all the hoops required for other methods.

You seem to have very little appreciation for anyone's time other than your own and for some reason you found it appropriate to highlight that fact right off the bat. That's not a good look for someone asking for help. It would take you all of a few seconds to update your signature so we know what version you're using, but you choose not to because your time is apparently too valuable? I suggest you dial the attitude back a little bit and consider that our time is valuable as well. Commonly the best answer depends on which program version a person is using. You're actually doing everyone (yourself included) a disservice by not taking a few seconds to update your signature with the appropriate Chief version.

for a 6" solid line just put 3 dashes that are 2" long with a Spacing of zero.

You should only get the number of printed pages as long as your remaining pages are empty. Do you have objects placed onto your extra pages?

Here’s another method…

What you just described is making a mess of your hotkeys. The Delete Objects tool is an entirely different tool than Delete or Backspace and the 2 shouldn't be confused. The hotkey assignments you showed in your first post were correct and you really shouldn't have changed them. I really recommend you call tech support and try to get to the bottom of what was causing your original problem because I don't think it had anything to do with your hotkeys.

I wasn't.

I don’t think it has anything to do with hotkeys. The OP stated that it also happens when they right click and select Delete.

This site (especially with a pro subscription) )has a pretty amazing and ridiculously extensive collection of both 2D and 3D stuff that would likely fit the bill for you. https://www.dimensions.com

Look at Default Settings>Wall>General Wall>Resize About

In addition to the wall schedule, you can also use the Components tab to add a custom Component that will then be reported to the Materials List. Something like this for example... This approach is incredibly versatile. Components can be added to report all sorts of information in just about any format, and can be added just to specific objects when desired . I suggest adding them at the Default level whenever appropriate.

In addition to being able to use a schedule, we can also just add one or more component to our desired walls or Wall Defaults and in doing so get our own custom General category in the materials list.

Nitro Pro

That functionality was deprecated and changed to an export feature…

Just insert a different formula in your Foundation Wall or Slab Footing Wall Defaults. Instead of "=num_foundation_bolts" for example, you could use something like: =num_foundation bolts*2 =num_foundation_bolts/2 =num_foundation_bolts*0.75 =num_foundation_bolts+2 Or, to meet code where we do most of our building, something like this maybe... =((length.to_ft-2)/4)+1

Don’t forget that we have CAD Details in layout too. You can always save your commonly used “Page Sets” to those CAD Details.
