I commonly use "No Room Definition" for the shower walls

Does anyone have symbols for these?

Also turn off angle snaps.

Having visited Cave Creek in the winter I know it can get pretty cold and of course in the summer it can get pretty hot. That said, you should be able to use 2x4's if your design meets the energy requirements. Just make sure you don't have any plumbing in the exterior walls as the pipes could freeze where the insulation is compromised. 2x6 construction isn't a status symbol. It's totally a matter of what's needed for structural and energy requirements. If the structure isn't too tall (wind load) and the insulation needed will fit in 3.5" then 2x4's are fine.

I use 1/4" for most drawings (Plans, Sections & Elevations) For some details (larger scales) I use 1/8" and 1/16" depending on the object. It's really a matter of what's being dimensioned. The drawing scale will usually be the determining factor.

No, but a moderator can if you report the post and ask for it to be relocated. All the OP can do is copy the content, delete the post and paste the content into a new thread in the correct forum.

Some of the %object_properties% macros in the OOB Templates don't show everything. In most cases they are limited to the owner object. My versions also show sub-level objects (such as the Room). This is important for referenced macros where using a text box with an arrow.

Yes. Did you want to know how?

Did you try just importing it in a plan via TMM?

As Jim said, you just need something to house it. False Chimney Metal Sculpture Shade Structure Outdoor Kitchen Wind Screen etc. Use your imagination

It looks to me like it's actually just selecting a pre-drawn detail and editing the labels - probably using a macro. If that detail is a dwg it could be imported into the Chief Layout.

The last Apple I purchased was an Apple II Plus in 1980. I bought a PC in 1984 and have never looked back.

If you want "Live Details" try this: Create a Cross Section (Vector Render Technique) Save it and rename as desired Open it for Edit in the Project Browser Set Clip Lines (Horizontal and Vertical) and check "Display" In the View, move the Clip Lines to crop the Detail Annotate the detail - some things can use referenced labels send to Layout (at desired scale) and use the built-in macros to Label the Detail When anything is changed, the Detail will automatically correspond to those changes. You might need to play with the Defaults to get the annotation sized correctly for the scale of the Detail(s)

Here's my version of the macro. ################################### # Macro Name: cab_label # OBJECT type width depth height swing ################################### referenced ? obj = referenced : obj = owner slabel = "" slabel << obj.type[0].upcase.gsub("F","T") # convert Full to Tall slabel << obj.width.to_f.round(0).to_s slabel << obj.depth.to_f.round(0).to_s slabel << obj.height.to_f.round(0).to_s slabel << obj.door_swing Nothing else is required

Create a Layout Template with the Border, Title Block, etc on page 0. You can make your own arrangement & Title Block Content. A Layout can actually have several "Template Pages" and any Layout Page can use any of those as a basis for what is displayed as the background. But all sheets in a Layout have to be the same size. You can use any standard page size for a Layout. 24x36 is Arch-D but there are many other sizes available and you can even define custom sizes.

Index of Files, Classes & Methods in Ruby 2.6.5 (Ruby 2.6.5) (ruby-doc.org) should give you all the information you need. You can use: if elsif else end while end begin rescue end for i = n to k next and a lot of other things.

Once you've created a Cross Section: Select "Auto Detail" Then use CAD Detail from View to create a new CAD Detail. The CAD Detail (complete cross section) can then be edited to remove the areas you don't want in the final Detail Annotate as needed. Repeat the process for each desired detail.

Here's a macro you can import and then use to check what NVPs are available for whatever object you select. In order to use it: select an object open TMM and select the _Object_properties_expanded_sorted_wo_default macro. all of the NVPs for that object will be listed in the lower right panel. This is one of the most important tools I have for creating macros. Object Properties.json

X14 provides the ability to create "Solids" with Fillets. In X12 you would need to draw a Polyline in an Elevation View, Fillet that and then convert to a Polyline Solid. In either case, the material would have to be applied.

USING CHIEF X9 (own X14) STARTED WITH HD PRO 6 then CHIEF 9.5 Lew, Your signature is incorrect. You don't own X14. You just own a license to use it in perpetuity.

Yes, Add a trimmers custom field for the doors and windows. Populate that field in your doors and windows with %trimmer_count%. The trimmers custom field can then be added to your door and window schedules.

That's my understanding but you should contact CA to verify.

I works with the Stream Deck only because you can string together a lot of keystrokes.
