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

I don't think you fully read or understood my post. Read it again. The fact you still have A%page% on sheet "0" tells me you missed some crucial information. Here is my post again with the key points highlighted: The key to make this work is to use the %layout.label% macro along with the Page Information Label

Here's the plan I used in the above post if you want to explore the settings: Cabinet plan.plan And an alternate frameless version that I think looks a bit more like what you were aiming for: Cabinet plan (Frameless Med).plan

You can also just create the hole in the side by using a Custom Face for the Left side and then using Openings, Separations, and Blank Areas: For the notched shelves, I just created a custom shelf symbol using a solid and applied it to that face item. NOTE: If you need/want to display Cabinet Module Lines in any of your vector views, then Mark's approach using a custom panel for the side hole might be better.

Only annotation objects (i.e. labels). We can use macros in a handful of creative ways to mimic the creation of those annotation objects, but we are really just replacing strings in those objects with other strings and not actually creating the objects or modifying any of their settings.

You can't do what you're talking about. Ruby is used in Chief as little more than a way of reading information from an object and as a string substitution tool. You can use it to read from and write to external files as well, but as far as manipulating things inside Chief? No.

I thought I already answered this question for you over here... Am I missing something?

You’re clearly a power user who is in practice with those tools though. The vast majority of users will have a far bigger differential. I personally know my way around the cabinet tools better than most and based on how often I’be been drawing custom cabinets lately (not at all) and based on my desire to get it right? I could pretty easily see myself messing around with that for half an hour or even more and I don’t doubt the average user could waste an hour or 2 and ultimately give up. Solids on the other hand are a lot easier to get proficient with. And yes, even when I’m out of practice it would likely take just a few minutes. i’m not sure I agree about the easy adjustment either. Even after I got the cabinet built, trying to remember exactly which settings were controlling which component can be a huge pain. I do, however, totally see how a super proficient user who uses the tools an awful lot might be able to make good use of it in certain circumstances.
