Door and Window Offsets - Suggestions - ChiefTalk Forum

Basically that's what I do, but then I immediately edit the casing width to what I actually want them to be. IAE, I've made a couple of suggestions in the Suggestions Forum. The more suggestions on this and "Door Stops" the better.

There are defaults for the number of trimmers and king studs. However, those have any effect on the placement of the door. The best we can do at this time is to use casing profiles that provide the width needed for the offset.

The only thing I know that will do that is the width of the casing.

I also do light commercial and medical offices.

I am available for any of the above projects in Southern California. I provide complete design and engineering. I've been using Chief Architect since version 9.5 and can provide designs for: Log Construction Timber Frame A-Frames SIPs Conventional Frame Masonry Please PM me if you need quality design, engineering and construction documents.

I'm pretty sure that's possible but it would require Chief to add the double and triple wide types to awning and hopper windows. You should make that a suggestion.

Try using a window with multiple panels instead of a mulled window.

I don't have this problem - simply because I use 3/8" or larger callouts in Layout. The only callouts in my layout views that are smaller than 3/8" are actually in the View sent to Layout.. ie: Detail Callouts such as foundation, roof, sections, etc. In the Plan Views those are typically 12" or larger. depending on the scale. I can force the problem to occur in Layout but I really don't want any of the Layout Callouts to be that small. My Layout Box Defaults specify a macro (deternmines the text based on the view type / automatic_label) Plan = floor number Section = camera number/letter Elevation = compass bearing (N,E,S,W) Detail = number calculated by the position on the Layout sheet. Basically, any view sent to Layout is automatically labeled (linked to the view in the Plan)

Just edit the label itself so it"s 2 lines.

As long as you spec the cabinet box and face configurations in Chief and I know the type of drawer slides I can provide the macros to specify the sizes of drawer boxes, drawer faces and doors. I can even specify the sizes of each face frame item (rails and stiles) if needed. I would need any specifics for extra tollerances not specified in Chief. Custom Fields could have those values so it could be quite automatic. This would be especially true if your cabinet preferences were in the defaults. I don't do cnc. But if you can provide your typical box details I can provide a cut list for the sides, back and bottom pieces. (joinery details).

What is it that you want to do? I have a lot of macros for cabinets and components which might fit your needs. Here's an example of some of the information available in my custom cabinet schedule. Note the details listed in the columns on the right half of the schedule.

What does this have to do with my OP?

Not the stock "Room Labels" Using Rich Text on separate layers per SPV is the only way to do that currently. It's probably going to be that way forever.
