For uninitialized globals at the opening of a program
Joe_Carrick replied to Renerabbitt's topic in General Q & A
Pretty cool, but for me that takes too much room on a Layout. I'm essentially providing all the same information but in Door and Window Schedules. I don't usually show the elevations but OTOH, I do provide the number of King Studs and Trimmers. It's no unusual for me to have up to 20 different Doors and a simila number of different Windows. -

In order to use differnt fonts I simply use different Layersets. OTOH, if you just want to make certain characters like 0-9 as superscript characters you can set up a global like this: $ss = ["\u2070", "\u00B9", "\u00B2", "\u00B3", "\u2074", "\u2075", "\u2076", "\u2077", "\u2078", "\u2079"] Then a superscript character "4" would be $ss[4] which can then be used in other macros to display widths and heights in feet and inches such as 3⁰6⁸ 2⁶6⁸ etc I have several macros that cover all such opening labels. My default labels for openings differintiate base on the object type and layerset (view_type which unfortunately is not an NVP). Here's an example using both Callouts and Labels. -

Just put a macro in the label of something in page 0 (or the page template of tthe title sheet) of your layout. Hint: A Rectangle works well. Just make sure you macro ends with "" so it doesn't show. I always open my projects with the Layout. -
Electrical Outlets display on Wall Framing Details
Joe_Carrick replied to BDG2244's topic in General Q & A
No, This is a special CAD Detail automatiallly generated by the software that only includes framing members. The electrical outlets can only be displayed on a wall elevation, not on a wall detail. I think it would be cool if they could but it's not possible at this time. -
I use StruCalc. It provides just about anything you can imagine and I can stamp/sign myself.

Duplex outlet placement on the end of a wall.
Joe_Carrick replied to KKBKeith's topic in General Q & A
I see 3 options" It would appear that the wall is actually 3 walls: [ a long_wall - a short_wall - a long_wall. ] If you model it that way you would be able to place the outlet on the short wall. Model the Wall as a Cabinet (no doors or drawers-finish to match walls) and place the outlet on the end of that Cabinet Change the outlets' options so that it isn't "Wall Mounted" -
Open the macro in the plan file using TMM. Highlight the text and use Ctrl_C to copy Go to the Layout file and open TMM Create a new macro Name it the same as the plan macro Past the contents and save No guarantee that it will work unless it's non-evaluate since very few objects in Layout will have the same NVPs as the objects in Plan.

I just posted a suggestion for exactly that capability.

Have you tried creating a style pallet for this? I'm not sure if that will allow you to make the edits you want since style pallets don't control everything.- but maybe it would work since you can specify the floor framing is to be the thing to match

The Layer Set for Layouts is very simple. For Plans it gets complicated and is probably evolving over time.

I owned an apple once. It was state of the art but I had to get another computer with more capacity. That Apple II Plus just didn't have the power of the IBM PC - but I wish I'd kept it just because it would be worth a lot as an antique.

I just happen to have a couple extra Nvidia RTX Cards. RTX 4060 - New, never removed from original packaging RTX 3070 - Used but in good condition. Will take any reasonable offer for either.
