There's a couple of ways to do this: Use a separate Plan File for Existing vs New Use Layers and separate Layer Sets to show Existing, Demo & Remodel. There are some other ways such as using a CAD Detail From View to document the existing, but I prefer one of the above, depending on the project.

Ray, I have available the basics so only a small bit of additional code would be needed depending on the field(s) desired.

If you use one or more of the OIP fields a macro could do it. You would need to substitute the OIP field for the normal column in the schedule.

If that's the case, it can be done with Room Fill Patterns or a combination of a solid room fill and Material Regions with Fill Patterns but no texture.

Tim, I assume that you are trying to raise the ceiling height in one room. When you do that it pushes the floor above up. That results in the other rooms below that floor having a higher ceiling because of what's in the Structure definition for those rooms. The correct methodology is to change the Ceiling Structure or Floor Structure above to provide the extra thickness between Floors.

In the Default Room Label add %room.floor.finish.name% or enter that in a text box and place the text box in the room. btw, that's just one of the "Global>Room Info" macros that Chief provides which can be inserted in the Default Room Label or in a Text Box that can be located in the rooms.

Download them from within Chief Architect X9 - or just change the File Preference for .calibz You can do this at Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Associations

Actually, you can use the OIP to include a Comment and/or addition to the Description for that Doorway.

There are still some things that need to be fixed. Is there an update coming soon?

The short answer is "NO" to both questions. The number is the "Schedule Number" and CA has not provided any options for making that Alpha instead of Numerical or for formatting it.

Defaults, Plan Allowed Angles - Additional Angles Scott's method works perfectly as well.

You can change your angle snap grid to any angle you want.

Scott, Create a new "Cross Section/Elevation". You can set the direction as you are placing the camera.

Yep, it's that simple

Alan, It's not a specific macro in the subscription. It's something I do within any of my macros that calculate and display areas - specifically within Metric Plans. But all you need to do is create a new Non Evaluated macro named m2. for the Value: just copy paste the following: m²

Roof Plane dbx > Structure > Roof Layers > Surface > Edit

I'm wondering what OS is being used on these systems that are having the problems with X9. I think X9 is only available in 64bit. Could that be the problem?

Michael, So what exactly does the OP want to sell? If that's a picture of a real bed - then who is the target market? Surely not Chief Architect users. If the idea is to sell the symbol - I doubt anyone here would be interested in paying anything for it. Putting the pic in the profile isn't going to generate much interest - since it's unlikely most users would even bother to look at the profile.

Ray Tracing is done by the CPU, not the GPU. Changed Render to Standard and Ray Traced 10 passes in 50 seconds.

This would basically be the same process as for a Partition. The other alternative is to export a 3D View of the Door Symbol to "3DS" and then import that and specify it as a "Cabinet" in the Create Symbol dbx.

Vaughn, Take a look at Preferences>Render>Video Card Status. I don't know if that will help, but it's worth a try.

Jonathan, Take a look at the Announcements Forum. It appears they are going to have a series of presentations by users (1 hour named subject sessions) at the UGM this year. I don't know what else they have planned.

Derek I'm pretty sure this thread is Spam. I reported it previously.

No, you create a Site Plan Layer Set that has those things not displayed. The Annoset selects that Layer Set. It's also a good idea to have a Site Plan Reference Layer Set.

For a Partition, start with a Cabinet. Edit the width, height & depth Edit the face elements. Save to Library Whenever you use that in a Plan it will be included in the Schedule. Note that you can modify the CODE, DESCRIPTION, COMMENTS & MANUFACTURER in the OIP to provide more information in the Schedule.
