Make sure you only have one Wall Schedule. The easiest way to do this is to put the Schedule in a CAD Detail and just send that to Layout. I generally don't put the Schedules in the actual view unless it's specific to only that view.

I use a similar method. But I've stored my notes as Rich Text in my user Library. They are in folders by material type.so it's easy to find what I want and locate and add an arrow to point to the object. One of those Library notes actually retrieves the Object's Label - if it's cut in section like a framing member, etc.

Edit the Room's Ceiling Finish to provide an Air Gap and Framing.

I have mine on automatic pay. It avoids this sort of problem and you can still cancel at any time in the future.

Primarily because Chief is much more flexible. That of course makes it more difficult to set up to do what you want.

If you name your SPV's in the Porject Browser the they can easily be labeled in Layout using built-in macros. I never Label in Plan Views, only in Layout Boxes.

Make: Floor Level 0 = Foundation Plan Floor Level 1 = Basement Plan Floor Level 2 = First/Main Floor Plan Floor Level 3 = Second Floor Plan Floor Level 4 = Attic Plan (typically only a 1/16 " ceiling height) it's just a matter of the name. The advantage is that you have completely separate Foundation & Attic Plans

Yes, just open that file and save as (append the date to the name). That way you can always know what version you are using.

Then maybe he's just doing too many passes. I can't imagin a Ray Trace taking 3 minutes on an RTX 5060. Something is wrong.

Those numbers seem like CPU Ray Tracing. Are you sure you have the computer set up to use the GPU?

I'd use a "Polyline Sidewalk". That's much more editable, allowing breaks, fillets, etc.

Editing your Signature would also help.

You can setup Dropbox (or OneDrive) to run a backup of specific folders at the designated time.

Use a continuous (multi-segment line) and convert it to a Molding Polyline

If it's too expensive for you then it isn't the right software for you.
