Just to be clear, I personally don't care. I know the reason for the limitation I pointed out. I was just highlighting a potential issue.

Nope.

Looks like you might have it under control, but a few hints and pieces of quick advice on the house for you guys: Use boxes and you have a height and width attribute to work with (no impossible scripting to deal with). Use a 3D object like a soffit and you not only get a height and width but you get a schedule without needing to use notes.

Can't speak to what Eric did, but it's easy to reproduce by blocking one of the corner cabinets without the other. If a corner cabinet is blocked without it's connected cabinet, you won't get the automated corner filler.

That's because one of the things that happens when you rebuild the foundation is that the whole floor is recreated, room definitions too.

The answer actually depends on the specific symbol and its 2D block. It can literally be any layer.

Just post the problematic plan and I bet you would have an accurate answer in minutes. I can tell you with near certainty that it's exactly what Glenn said though way back in the 3rd post.

The overhang does not match. Move this wall 1/2" to the right so that its in a symmetrical location compared to the corresponding wall on the left...

There is currently no efficient ways to automatically show a Callout in one Layer Set and a normal window label in another; however, there are tons of custom macro solutions that can be utilized to show different labels in different views. Here's a simple freebie on the house that will show a normal window label in your " Working Layer Set" (note that there is a space before the layer set name being used for the OOB Working Layer Set) and a schedule number in all other layer sets. Just paste this text into your window labels... %layer_set == " Working Layer Set" ? automatic_label : schedule_number%

I don't disagree with you very often Glenn, but trying to put cabinets in the same space is asking for all sorts of problems relating to countertops, room moldings, cabinet moldings, backsplashes, electrical outlets, etc. For these reasons and others, I don't recommend anyone use this method except for the rarest of occasions like maybe for the occasional freestanding unit. I would instead suggest either using multiple plan files, multiple floors, or multiple side by side rooms as was already suggested above by others.

Looks to me like you’re not showing us the most relevant item on the schedule. That row height is controlled by the widest image in the schedule. Either change the 2D Block being used for that object, exclude the object from the schedule, or change your scaling settings in the schedule. Without seeing the plan this is obviously a guess but I bet you have either a big chandelier or a long fluorescent type fixture in the plan.

Just FYI, if you’re properly syncing the origin in both pieces of software, things should align in 3D and you can actually fix the 2D by just copying the values from the offsets and just moving the object by those amounts instead.

I won’t pretend to know why but I did see this in one other plan for one of my clients a while back. Here's what I told him: It could be a bug and it could be some nuance with masonry/veneer walls that I don’t fully understand, but you can fix the ceiling issue by either: A. Setting those lower walls to be Foundation walls or... B. Clicking on the Foundation tab for those walls and removing the sill plate. On the surface it honestly looks like a bug to me though and I would suggest reporting it to technical support to see what they say.

There are all sorts of different ways to do what you’re trying to accomplish, but here’s a video with one of my preferred methods. It was made for another situation but would work for what you’re doing as well...

The way it works in Chief is that the the 3D representation is offset, not the 2D block. It’s not a perfect solution. Check your 3D and see how that looks. By the way, this is yet another example of where we could really use a Convert To Symbol In Place functionality.

I'm assuming you really mean net unit size and not glass size. If I'm understanding correctly, in order to get an accurate model and use the built in features, you may be better off entering the net size and using the rough opening settings appropriately. Then you can simply use the Height, Width, and R/O columns in the schedule. No need for any custom macros at all that way.

That's really up to you. Place a temporary point at 0,0 is one way, or just select the symbol after you place it and use Transform/Replicate>Move>Absolute Location

You can use this...

It would be best if you were to post an example of exactly which measurements you're looking for. Maybe a sketch of the window, how it displays in the schedule now, and how you would like it to display.

The real question here in my mind is: What even is an “approval number”?

One really easy method is to simply Google “Seamless Brick Texture”. You will find tons of suitable images ready to go (both free and for purchase). You can do the same for tile, stone, wood flooring, etc. it will probably take a little trial and error to learn which ones are suitable for a desirable repeating pattern, but you should be able to pick it up pretty quickly.

Quite a few ways and the best method depends a bit on your particular seismic and climate zones, but here’s an idea: Try this structural definition instead... Shingles Felt OSB Purlins or furring strips (optional) Rigid Foam OSB (optional) Beadboard 2x6 Rafters

You have 2 Terrain Holes in your plan for starters. One is shaped to include that back deck room and the other is not. Maybe start there.

You bet.

Read my post again. I chose my words carefully.
