I don't know what the limit is. You can have multiple "Profiles" with at least 10 "Pages" and each button can have 32 actions which depending on the action can have additional "Pages" or actions which include "Folders". So for practical purposes there's no limit. It's extremely flexible in how you set it up. My preference is to utilize multiple "Profiles" even within Chief.

Make sure the line style of the polyline is 0 thickness. You may have to redefine it.

In the Window Schedule dbx, Include "Doors, Pocket Doors". This will however include all Pocket Doors. You might be able to limit that by using a door schedulte that only includes that floor.

Here's a link to my StreamDeck setup. Actually I've made a lot of refinements over the last 3 years. It's even better now and it's still only $200. Almost all buttons are matches of Chief's Toolbar icons.

I use a system for my Layout Page Labels that's pretty simple: G-# (General) A-# (Architectural) S-# (Structural) M-# (Mechanical) E-# (Electrical) P-# (Plumbing) If you use a different system (sub categories, etc) please post yours & explain why.

I suggest you try the Home Designer version first. It's not as expensive as Premier but has most of the features you need. Then once you are satisfied with it you cn upgrade to Premier. Just understand that Premier is the Professional version which is for users that make a living with it.

In order to prevent missing data in a printed set of plans (labels, notes, etc) caused by macros that haven't executed: Do this: In the Layout Drawing Sheet Setup dialog click Remember Print Settings after Printing Print (with the settings you want) Click Update Automatically Now every time you print the Layout the macros (both Plan and Layout) will properly execute. If you find there's one that doesn't then it's a problem with the macro itself. I had a couple that I had to rewrite but at this time I haven't found any of my macros that don't work correctly. You'll need to follow this procedure for all of your Layouts - but as long as you "save" the Layout it will be persistent every time you open that Layout. It will also insure that 3D views, linestyles, etc are correct in the printed output.

It's also very important to shut down and re-start - just in case

Rene has a pretty comprehensive set in his Plan Template

Hi Joey, Are those really the current code years? btw, My grandfather was a Blacksmith and Buggy maker in Ft Wayne (1895-1935)

No, that can't be done. It's the responsibility of the design professional to make the arguements supporting his/her interpretation of the code. Building Inspectors and Plan Checkers are not infallible. I've had many cases in the last 55 years where they interpreted code sections incorrectly. This happens with almost every project. In post Covid California it's even worse because most plan review is being farmed out to contract plan check firms. If you let them get away with it then you just have to live with what they say.

Please post your plan - only then will I be able to find out what's wrong. btw, What version of Chief ar you using? Providing your signature in the forum with as much detail as possible will help. You can look at my signature as an example.

There are ways to calculate that information using macros. I had some such macros but have eliminated them because the "Material List" is much better and less hassel.

This sounds to me like a problem with updating 3D which is probably set to "Update Allways"

Reboot was exactly what was required. TS directed me to that prior to your post.
