Where is the plan in relation to (0,0) ?

34" should be to the center-line of the handrail. But without knowing the dimensions of the handrail I can't say if the dimension is correct or not. IAE, I just over-ride the dimension text.

Or you could create a material for the glass backboard that includes the images.

An alternative is to convert the pdf's to png's - much faster

I use the Room Molding Polyline (set the height at +24" so openings will be intersected) with: Base Molding Chair Rail Panels (could be 3D Millwork with a repeat distance - or just a 1/4"x36" molding with a texture) Wall Material Regions are another possibility

The preview is of the currently selected object. Select one of the light fixtures and the preview should change to that object.

Assuming you are trying to eliminate nodes in the middle of a line segment (colinear) then you just select the tool on the edit menu to Simplify Polyline. OTOH, for corners you can simply drag them to an adjacent corner which will delete a line segment.

I had a problem with direct access/assignment of macro values in calculations. By first assigning the macro result to a variable and then using the variable in the calculations it worked perfectly. I'm going to experiment with that technique to see if it solves my problem.

I really think this is a problem with macros in custom fields.

I have a similar problem with a schedule with a macro that generates an error until one of the row items has been opened and closed. This is a rather complex macro accessing some custom field values. I haven't found a way to solve it. I've asked Chief to provide a tool that would update on demand but haven't received a fix. In your case I would check to make sure some other process isn't messing with the global value(s).

Take a look at the documentation for "Referenced Plan Views"

If the structure of the floor above includes an air gap and ceiling joists then you can cut into the ceiling. Cutting into the actual floor joists would not be practical without a structural analysis.

Personally, I number each room's elevations beginning with 1,2,3,4 and name them in the Project Browser.

Does anyone know how to delete a Revision ? We can Add but once a Revison has been added to a Layout I can't find a way of deleting it. It's evidently locked into the Revision Table Never mind, I found it in the "Edit Page Information" DBX

The Window Schedule will always show a separate line when any column isn't exactly the same. W02 is single hung W03 if fixed glass The picture, label and description are all diferent so that's why they are not the same.

Make sure Chief is set to use the RTX 4080. I don't think that's automatic. Another possibility is the Anti-Virus not being set to ignore Chief and/or the plan and layout files.

Gene, I agree that is the way it works - but I it should work according to the swing direction (inside/outside). My preference would be to the actual swing side but +/- could suffice.

Google "3D WAREHOUSE"

I get this: when I open my Layout. How can I find the offending layout boxes so I can delete them?

I have an extra 27" still in the original box unopened. I also have an extra 45" 4K TV with wall mount. Let me know if you are interested in either of those. Just make a reasonable offer.

Some possibilities: Not all Windows set to be included in Schedule Not all Rooms selected for inclusion SkyLites not checked to be included in Schedule etc.

Can you check all 6 windows to make sure there's nothing other than the macro in that field?

If you mean the .calib files, the answer is: Go ahead. The symbols are stored in the Chief Database Folder.

It could be that the model is at an extreme elevation. It's best to have the 1st floor at 0.00 elevation

You would need to not mull the windows in order to get framing between them. Mulled windows implies a single manufactured unit, not 3 units.
