Post a plan with the symbol. There's no way to answer your question without knowing what the symbol is. ps: I do have symols that do it. I also have a system that calculates the required length per braced wall line and displays the lengths provided in schedules.

Hi Tammy, It's best to avoild the material sprayer in most cases. it's much better to open the object dbx and set the material(s) there. That way you can be sure you are only affecting the selected object.

Not a good idea to share with builders. Consultants (structural, mechanical, electrical) is usually OK.

That stair wold only be compliant if the inside radius was increased to about 4-1/2 feet. The line shown by chief with the arrow isn't the "Walk Line" as required be code. The other option would be to decrease the number of treads so that the minimum tread width at the walk line (12" from inside) would be 10" minimum.

Hi Steven, Is there a way to set HDRi backgrounds to be at a size relative to the Chief model? Is there a way of positioning the model at the center of the background? My model is pretty close to the [0,0] origin but I don't see any way of coordinating the HDRi background to the model scale and center.

If the scale is included in the Layer Set name the attached macro will display the scale accurately in the plan view. Simply put it in a text box in the plan view. layer_set_Drawing_Scale.json

Definitely build framing and probably also using the CAD, Auto Detail tool.

What are you using to export? Why not print to PDF?

This ensures accuracy in the layout. Layouts may feature views at varying scales and can be printed on sheets of different sizes.

I would need to tell what's wrong.

Without the plan there's no way to tell.

What Format? Ft, Ft-In, in, etc.

So at the beginning of the macros add this: referenced ? obj=referenced : obj=owner then add obj. in front of each of the lines that are displaying the data That will make the macros work for whichever way they are being used. You might want to look at my template in https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/39977-macro-coding-template/

custom_fields["field name"] is the way to get the data. Of course you'll need to specify the object in your macro. Owner would be typical if you want the outpt in the object's label.

I can't find the NKBA Dimensions in X16. Does anyone know if it's still available and how to get it?

For purposes of the plan, yes. In reality the electrician may not use GFCI outlets if the circuit itself is protected. However, he or she will place labels on non GFCI outlets where they are protected.

Find an archive version prior to your save that you can open. Then save it with a new name or save it as the original.

They work the same way. Either HDMI or Display Port but must be to GPU.

I use a 55" 4K TV

I concur. Most dropdowns should be alphabetically sorted. I'm not sure how this ond got scrambled.

I just use the "Stackable Washer" and change the name, etc. It's pretty close.

To elaborate on Ben's statement: ".rb" files can be stored there and "required". I think the Ruby "Tutorial" is one such file.

If you use "Saved Plan Views" and name them in the Project Browser, then you can use the Atomatic Label as the label of the Callout Boxes in Layout. Note that Chief uses "Floor Level" simply as an identifier. It's not intended to be the name of the floor.

I don't use it. It could be useful if you wanted to write a macro (on the fly) and save it into the scripts folder - or something similar in the data folder. But really it's just used by Chief internally to know where to get things.

FWIW, I always try to put pet doors in a wall rather than a door. If the house is later sold and the purchaser doesn't have a pet then the door doesn't have to be replaced. It's much less expensive to just close up the opening in the wall.
