  1. Ed, Have you updated the Library Catalogs since the final X9 release?
  2. Try this link instead https://kcclemo.neocities.org/creating-height-and-normal-maps/
  3. Steve, I always dimension in the Plan. It's much easier IMO. Of course, my Annoset & Layer Set is setup so that I can do this and just send the Site Plan to Layout. I never got the idea of using a CAD Detail Window for the Site Plan.
  4. Yes, and I've reported it to CA. I also had a macro for Vent Labels that used bottom_elevation that didn't work in X9. I've modified it to use other attributes but IMO CA should not make changes that cause things that worked to quit working.
  5. I agree with Michael. Of course he has exaggerated the Top and Bottom Rough Opening values - but it does illustrate the point.
  6. ps: Another way to see this is to open the Ruby Console and type: owner.top_elevation <enter> the result is nil or owner.top_elevation.nil? <enter> the result is true
  7. John, The owner simply eliminates the need to specify owner context. header elevation accounts for the rough_opening_top so if you change the macro to: arr = (header_elevation-rough_opening_top).round().divmod(12) "#{arr[0]}" "'-" "#{arr[1].round()}\" H.H." you will get the same result you did before. The problem currently is that the top_elevation is nil. It's neither a numerical value or a string. top_elevation.round() is the same as nil.round() which generates the error. CA needs to properly initiate the top_elevation & bottom_elevation attributes.
  8. John, Try this: arr = owner.header_elevation.round().divmod(12) "#{arr[0]}" "'-" "#{arr[1].round()}\" H.H."
  9. No, but do you really want that? All the glass panel showers I've seen do not have glass above the door.
  10. Stephen, Show us the Wall Type Definition.
  11. Core Library>Architectural>Windows>Atrium Windows
  12. You probably don't have the Fixtures, Exterior layer displayed.
  13. Here's some samples of the Stairs Macro Package
  14. 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.
  15. I don't see any extra windows. Maybe you've "included all floors" when doing the schedule on the 1st floor?
  16. ??? - Post the Plan. Also, please edit your profile so we know who you are and what version of the software you are using.
  17. 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.
  18. Hopefully, there will be more in the Room Finish Schedule next week when the full X9 version is released.
  19. 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.
  20. 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?
  21. Post the Plan. We can't know what you've done wrong without seeing the actual Plan file.
  22. Pretty clever solution. I'm still going to ask CA to make "No Room Definition" Walls visible in the Room Wall Elevations.
  23. 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.
  24. 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"
