Yes. Did you want to know how?

Text Macro Management

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.

Lance, I have had excellent experience with Jason and his team. They are top notch. Actually, I've had almost no problems with any of the CA people. It's a great company to work with.

Lew, You were never able to sell your License with SSA. You were only able to sell your License with CA's approval in certain specific cases. In those cases the purchaser was provided with the opportunity to purchase their own SSA. I'm not sure you're correct about CA no longer allowing transfers. I think that's still their option depending on the circumstances.

So, the rule would be no separator for anything less than 10000 mm and a space for anything more? Is there any problem if a space is never used?

Yes !!!! Just continue to pay the SSA fee each year and you will have the latest version. You can opt out of SSA at any time in the future and have the version you had updated to at that time. This should answer all the questions about the Perpetual License and SSA going forward.

That's fine. It's still useful information and maybe the "country or Language" would also be nice to have.

I know that the standard for metric dimensions is mm. What I don't know is if you use a thousands separator and if so what character do you use? space comma period none Please tell me..... Thanks

Here are a couple of my "Room Macros" that will provide the "Secondary" output for the "internal" and "standard" areas. This is just a sample of what is going to be in that Macro Package. These macros can be placed in the Default Room Label - or in a Text Box placed in a Room. Whatever the current system (Metric or Imperial) the macros will display the opposite data. Stay tuned after the 1st of the year for a complete listing of all my macro packages. I will be adding a similar macro to display the Secondary "Room Dimensions" Secondary Room Areas.json
