No, but do you really want that? All the glass panel showers I've seen do not have glass above the door.

Stephen, Show us the Wall Type Definition.

Half Walls also work.

Core Library>Architectural>Windows>Atrium Windows

You probably don't have the Fixtures, Exterior layer displayed.

Here's some samples of the Stairs Macro Package

The only thing you can currently do is to select the schedule and manually drag each row up or down to get the order you want.

I don't see any extra windows. Maybe you've "included all floors" when doing the schedule on the 1st floor?

??? - Post the Plan. Also, please edit your profile so we know who you are and what version of the software you are using.

I'm holding off on the Videos until the final X9 release. Then I will do a couple that will show volumes with the total calculated for "Conditioned Space". I just want to make sure to take advantage of all the capabilities of X9.

Hopefully, there will be more in the Room Finish Schedule next week when the full X9 version is released.

You can have it in Elevation Views simply by turning that Layer ON for display. Labels is 3D Views are not possible - no 2D CAD can be shown in a 3D View.

It would also help to know: 1. What version of the software you are using? 2. Do you have SSA? 3. Have you called Customer Support to get help?

Post the Plan. We can't know what you've done wrong without seeing the actual Plan file.

Pretty clever solution. I'm still going to ask CA to make "No Room Definition" Walls visible in the Room Wall Elevations.

No, I want the area of the void to be included in the Bedroom Area. It would work fine if I could just make those walls "No Room Definition" and still get the Interior Elevation to "See those Walls". That's the suggestion I'm going to make.

Note that if you insert it directly form the Library it for some reason looks like a "Triple Slider Window". I think that's a bug in Chief. IAE, it will be listed as a "Doorway" in the Schedule but you can change the Description in the OIP to "Roll Up Garage Door"

Here's a symbol of a Garage Door that can be used "Replace From Library" in place of the "Default Overhead Door". It eliminates the annoying "dashed line". Roll_Up_Garage_Door.calibz

I would agree with this. It would be a logical thing to do.

Just make the 1st floor room a "Deck" and the 2nd floor room a "Balcony".

Sure, but the Living Area of the void/chase should really be reported as a part of Room A.1 The voids really don't belong in the Schedule.

OK, Here's a sample problem: 20'x30' House = 600 sq.ft. 2 equal rooms (A1 & A2) 20'x15' = 300 sq.ft. each Chase in corner of Room A 2'x3' = 6 sq.ft. (Living Area - but -Not in Schedule) Finish Schedule and the "standard_area" attribute shows Room A = 294 sq.ft. Finish Schedule Total shows 594 sq.ft. Living Area shows 600 sq.ft. So, mark the interior walls of the Chase as "No Room Definition" Now the Finish Schedules shows Room A as 300 sq.ft. and the total as 600 sq.ft. Interior Elevations don't show the chase walls. My conclusion is that something needs to be done so that the Chase Area is included in Room A.

Yep, and I was only interested in the first part and how it relates to Chief's Room and Wall options. IAE, The definitions of Habitable, Conditioned and FAR vary from one city to the next. It may also vary from one occupancy type to another.

Here are some excerpts from Wikipedia: Floor area ratio (FAR) is the ratio of a building's total floor area (zoning floor area) to the size of the piece of land upon which it is built. The terms can also refer to limits imposed on such a ratio. As a formula: Floor area ratio = (total amount of usable floor area that a building has, zoning floor area) / (area of the plot) Common exclusions to the total calculation of square footage for the purpose of floor area ratio (FAR) include unoccupied areas such as mechanical equipment floors, basements, stair towers, elevator shafts, and parking garages. From Investopedia: What is the 'Floor Area Ratio - FAR' The floor area ratio (FAR) is the relationship between the total amount of usable floor area that a building has, or has been permitted for the building, and the total area of the lot on which the building stands.

Heated Floor area (aka Conditioned Space) is Interior area (not Living Area) and the Ceiling Heights are important to calculate the volume. From the standpoint of sizing an HVAC system the Volume is what's important, not Floor Area. Would you count an Attic as heated space just because there are ducts in the Attic? Sometimes the furred areas are just for Plumbing or just to enclose a structural element like a Steel Column. There are a lot of things to consider when determining what is Living Area, what is Conditioned and what is neither.
