  1. I see 3 options" It would appear that the wall is actually 3 walls: [ a long_wall - a short_wall - a long_wall. ] If you model it that way you would be able to place the outlet on the short wall. Model the Wall as a Cabinet (no doors or drawers-finish to match walls) and place the outlet on the end of that Cabinet Change the outlets' options so that it isn't "Wall Mounted"
  2. Open the macro in the plan file using TMM. Highlight the text and use Ctrl_C to copy Go to the Layout file and open TMM Create a new macro Name it the same as the plan macro Past the contents and save No guarantee that it will work unless it's non-evaluate since very few objects in Layout will have the same NVPs as the objects in Plan.
  3. I just posted a suggestion for exactly that capability.
  4. Hi Clinton, Is this only if I use the Project Manager? I m not and I don't see Tools > Asset Management
  5. Have you tried creating a style pallet for this? I'm not sure if that will allow you to make the edits you want since style pallets don't control everything.- but maybe it would work since you can specify the floor framing is to be the thing to match
  6. The Layer Set for Layouts is very simple. For Plans it gets complicated and is probably evolving over time.
  7. I owned an apple once. It was state of the art but I had to get another computer with more capacity. That Apple II Plus just didn't have the power of the IBM PC - but I wish I'd kept it just because it would be worth a lot as an antique.
  8. I just happen to have a couple extra Nvidia RTX Cards. RTX 4060 - New, never removed from original packaging RTX 3070 - Used but in good condition. Will take any reasonable offer for either.
  9. I suggest you contact CA Tech Support
  10. X17 Project Management just manages the files and resources. In terms of multi-user collaboration, it's not really any different than prior versions. If you use Dropbox you can put everything in it so everyone has access to the current data which will be synced when a file is closed. OTOH, an internal network where you have all the projects, files, libraries, etc located works pretty much the same way.
  11. The only way I have ever seen such a thing was when I inadvertently opened a plan from a prior version and then edited some macros. Then when I went ot save the plan I got that message. If I didn't save the plan The macro changes were not saved Simply because macros are specific to the planBacking Exporting macros (esentially a backup) and then importing into another plan is the only logical way to insure they are current in each plan.
  12. Yes, it's in the Columns/Rows tab of the Window Schedule dbx But you also need to set it in the Window Defaults for both Hinged and Sliders.
  13. I found the problem. It was an uninitialized variable in a macro. Error by YODA
  14. I have not had this problem. Are you using X17? If so are you using the Project Management System? Note that I am not using the Project Management System.
  15. If you change the title and save the schedule definition in your user library - or in your default plan template (CAD Detail) - then it will have the name you want.
  16. I use custom_fields in some of my schedules. Some times those columns are automatically updated. In other cases they aren't which results in potential errors when sent to layout for the condocs. It appears this only happens when there are more than one custom_field column in the schedule. If I open the schedule in the plan it will usually update those extra custom_field columns. I have to go thru the entire layout and check all schedules before printing the Layout. Does anyone have a method of making the schedules automatically update all columns - without having to open and close them?
  17. Because the wall lengths are different each wall will be a separate line. "Sum Similar Rows" really means "Exactly the Same"
  18. It's not Floor 0. It's Level 0 which is the lowest Level possible. OTOH, you can name any Level any thing you want:
  19. There are a lot of them on 3D Warehouse. You might need to do a little refinement on the search criteria but you should be able to find one that's at least close to what you want.
  20. Use Material Regions to cut the wall surface. You can create a region the width of the gap and just copy to the locations needed.
  21. Send the Plan to Layout and the rotate the Layout Box - or - just place the North Arrow on the Layout page (scale as needed)
  22. FWIW, If you want a different appliance (brand, model, etc) just edit the door that has the shelf specified as the appliance. When you select a new appliance, that will then be reflected in the Appliance Schedule. Likewise you can change any of the front items in the cabinet (door, drawer, panels, hardware) to be any style, color, thickness, etc. You can even add items to the front such as another set of doors above the layout and make the cabinet taller. Of course you should be careful to maintain the vertical dimensions and arrangement to be consisted with the underlying appliance.
  23. No, what I want is: Note the Appliances Column I managed to do it with a custom field user macro (assigned to the cabinet. It checks the front_side of the cabinet for all of the appliances and lists them in that column.
  24. Is there a way to show wall ovens, etc in the cabinet schedule? I don't want to type it into the comment field. It should be automatic.
  25. Here's an update. I've included 4 Buit-In Panel Ready Refrigerators and modified the Undercounter Items. The Doors and panels can be edited (style, color, etc) The Top Door Panel of the Refrigerators has the appliance inserted as a shelf. The doors of the undercounter cabinets have the appliances inserted as shelves. Note that the appliances will show in a fixture schedule. Panel Ready Appliances.calibz
