Robert, 1. Create your Window in a wall that's the exact thickness that you want the Window Frame and Structural Mull to be. 2. Use the "Erase Surface" tool to eliminate the casings and wall surfaces. 3. Add the Structural Mull around the Window using Solids 4. Convert this to a Window Symbol and add it to the Library. 5. Insert in your ICF Wall and suppress the casings and set the RO gaps to zero. 6. You may need to adjust the "y" origin of the Symbol to get the right inset. You can actually do that to the Symbol in the Library.

This is the case where having no casings suppresses the frame. I have noted this as a problem and requested it be changed several times. I think the only way to handle this problem at the current time is to create a Window Symbol that includes the Structural Mulls and the Frame.

I have a version that can be used in Text Macro Management for any currently selected object.

I would use a Molding Polyline. It can go around corners.

Mark, The only way to do that would be to edit the Code or Comments Field in the Components dbx. Essentially just adding a note that would be totally manual for each door. I know that SF is weird but I'm shocked to hear that doors also swing the wrong way

English, It's bad form to give yourself the "Best Answer". You should give the credit to the person who gave you the answer, not yourself.

Door & Window Labels will not display in the Plan if the Schedule Callouts are being used.

Scale factor should be 12. Your Contractor seems to be working in feet rather than inches.

Interesting answers. I do use angled corners - but usually for Recycle Bins. It wastes a little space in the cabinet but not much more than a Lazy Susan would. Sometimes I put a Trash Compactor in an angled Front. Of course in that case it really isn't a cabinet but there is a Counter Top. I never use the "L" Corner Cabinet with bi-fold doors. Every one I've ever seen had a problem with the doors getting out of adjustment. A 36" Lazy Susan with full inset doors would be OK but I don't do much full inset cabinetry.

I've been working on a Countertop Area listing macro. It's fairly easy to get the areas except for corner conditions or cabinets that are not just rectangles. So my question is: How do you handle the corner condition? 1. Blind Corner Cabinet? 2. Lazy Susan or Angled Front Cabinet (Actual Corner Cabinet)? 3. Blank Space? Using #1 the WxD calculates the area correcly. Using #2 the WxD calculates extra area Using #3 ignores the corner. Custom Countertops have an area attribute but it's not consistently accurate unless created separately from the Cabinets.

Sherry, Here's one I downloaded from 3D Warehouse Central Vacuum Canister.calibz

Ahhhhh....

Bonus Catalogs, Kitchen Accessories, Canisters Strange Location but that's where I found them.

Johnny, You can have the macro %view.name% as the title in your CAD Detail and whatever you've named the CAD Detail in the Project Browser will be reflected in the Layout. But to answer your question - No, at least not that I've been able to determine. The updated Callouts for Sections and Elevations are the "Camera Callouts" which are basically different than Callouts placed in a View. ie: Elevation and Section Views, CAD Details, etc.

Check your Firewall and AV Settings and make sure you except Chief and Chief Files. If the AV is scanning your Plans it can slow things down quite a bit.

You can also try saving and rebooting your system.

Post the Plan

Is it being copied to a layer that's not displayed? Check your Text Defaults for the Layer that Text is to be created on. I see this when I have the default Text Layer off and I'm copying text from Notepad or some other source.

It could be a Wall Type definition problem. Strange to say the least.

Yep, a 2D CAD App in 1984 would do it that way.

1. 3D Faces (Primitive Solid) can be extruded. 2. Molding Polylines use a Profile and extrude that 3. Solids can be "Exploded", resulting in 3D Faces (see note #1)

Glenn, That's a good method for 2,4,8,16 segments - but it won't work for 3,5,6,7,9-15, etc. Ken's method works for all cases.

Baaaaaddd !!!!

Another thing to check: Click on the Layout Box and then Open the Ruby Console and type "referenced_full_filename" <enter> Does that show the name of the file with the revisions or a prior version?

That should be automatic unless you've converted those to CAD Details and sent the CAD Details to Layout. If you just send the Plan Views directly to Layout they should automatically update as you make modifications.
