As I said - Framing is not a concern for me.

Scott, I meant "above the Door - full width of the closet". I really like your solution better but I might use a slab or custom countertop rather than a flat roof plane for the "shelf". In these cases I'm not really concerned with the "framing". This pic shows the walls simply pulled down with a 5" thick counter top (material is drywall) covering the room. As I said - framing is not a concern.

Did anyone mention the idea of a "Pass-Thru" Window at the top?

I do note that when the Door Label Layer is not displayed - the Window Labels within MUs are not displayed. This seems to be a bug, but it may have to do with what is specified to be shown in the Door Schedule and in the Window Schedule. You should probably contact support - assuming you have SSA.

See Pic

You most likely "Painted" the Room. Select the Room and set the Wall Material to "Use Default".

Dermot, Unfortunately that only shows the file name, not the full path and file name - which could be a critical item. Of course you can look at the header bar to get the path. BTW, it is not required to display the border of the Layout box.

Lew, You have not been listening. Macros are only one of several methods that have been presented.

You can send a PM.

Not if you select the layout box and check the macro in Text Macro Management. That's where the "owner" is evaluated. BTW, any of these methods work. The point of my macro was to provide the text directly on a layer that could be turned off - PER YOUR REQUEST.

Scott, change "reverenced" to "referenced"

Scott, You need to import the file in Text Macro Management. otherwise, just copy this to a new macro: begin owner.referenced_full_filename rescue referenced.referenced_full_filename end Ruby Scripts (.json) don't make much sense when opened with notepad.

Here's a Video showing various options: http://screencast.com/t/nH8MyrWj

OK Scott, Here's a pic of the Text Box with my macro in it connected to the Layout Box.

Two Possibilities: 1. Create a Text box with Arrow a. Insert the macro b. Attach the arrow to the Layout Box Border. 2. Simply select the Layout Box a. Open Text Macro Management b. Highlight the Macro c. The File Name will be displayed in the "Evaluation Panel" The pic shows the results of both methods of using the macro.

Are you trying to pull a Larry "Humble Chief" on us? I know you understand how to attach a macro to a Label. I'm also pretty sure you know how to use the Ruby Console to get the value of an attribute.

You can use the Layout Box Label and use the %referenced_full_filename% macro to do this. As an alternative, here's a macro that can be attached to the Layout Box border. layout linked plan file.zip

Scott, See Post #20. There was a mistake in my post that you quoted. The correct thing to enter in the Ruby Console is: owner.referenced_full_filename

Scott, Here are a couple of pics. The advantage for me is that the Ruby Console is non-modal so it can stay on the screen while you select another Layout Box, another sheet, etc. Once you have typed owner.referenced_full_filename once you only have to press the up_key and return to repeat the command. With the match properties dbx it might be a bit easier but you have to close the dbx each time because it's modal.

1. Open the Ruby Console 2. Select a Layout Box a. Type owner.referenced_full_filename b. If that's not one you want to keep - select it again and delete it c. Keep doing this until all are gone. It is also possible to have that filename as a part of the Layout Box Label but I don't really like to do that.

Scott, Just delete any Layout Boxes that were from that Plan.

Download as SKP files and then use the File>Import function in Chief

There might be some in the Bonus Libraries. It's fairly easy to use a Cabinet and simply adjust everything to make it into whatever size and configuration you need. Then save it to your user library so you will have that one when you need it.

Very clever Yusuf.
