HI Lance, I think you'll need to do that as a molding polyline. Girts won't go below the bottom plate because they are a part of the wall. You can put the molding polyline on the framing layer for display purposes.

You should have seen what we had to do 50 years ago.

Dropbox is the much better choice. Plans and Database Libraries.

It is the wrong place. Post in Q&A would be correct. Tips & Techniques is for sharing your Tips, not asking questions. That said, the best cloud storage for Chief is Dropbox. Set up in: Preferences General Folders All Program Paths

I'm a bit confused by this thread. In X17 if I delete a Door, Window, Cabinet, etc the Schedules simply reduce in sizes ( one less row ) the Labels don't change In X13 - which the OP is using - it may be different. My suggestion would be to upgrade to X17.

Here's my Scope of Work It's a Rich Text Box with 3 Schedules (one for each Floor). This is on my Title Sheet. It should give you an idea of what is needed. The Total Living Area is a manual sum of the individual Schedules Living Area columns, but could be calculated in a custom macro.

FWIW, while editing a thread you can in fact change the title.

The problem's that there's no column for individual walls of a room. If there was at least 4: North or 1 East or 2 South or 3 West or 4 It would be possible to have a fully functional Finish Schedule. You can have custom fields for those and manually assign the values for each room. It's a little more work but the Schedule would be more interesting.

This can happen when there are multiple wall types surrounding the room, including pony walls. In your case, it's the wall with the lable "STUCCO THIS SIDE". Check that wall definition - maybe reverse the wall layers. Personally I don't use that column simply because of this. Instead I use "Wall Schedules" which can have macros to display all the wall layers.

Check the Layout Box's Layer Set. The wall labels may not be displayed.

Correct. Here's my set_Globals macro. It can be placed just about anyplace that will be executed early. set_globals.json

Try this macro room_ceiling_ht_ft_in.json You might want to adjust the rounding within the macro. It's currently set to 1/16"

I can't reproduce it. It might be a problem with the defaults or preference settings.
