Not this time. Greg's answer is about as good as it's going to get - if you really need to detail it. Personally I would just add a note below the Finish Schedule.

I have a couple of others playing with me at Encinitas Ranch 11:15 Thursday. Maybe next week.

Probably true - unless you were going to do this quite a bit on different projects. Of course you could just edit the Window Label

The mouse is sick. Buy a new one - not the cheapest but probably no more expensive than what you spend for your on course libations.

Scott, Is it happening on all Plans? What about a completely blank plan from one of Chiefs' OOB Templates? The reason I ask is that if you have poorly written macros in your Plan, they may be interfering with the mouse, causing it to appear to stick or be jerky. Of course, just too much 3D geometry could also have an effect but bad macros are more likely.

But I can write a macro that will correct the label so the schedule would show the proper label.

Dennis, Let me know what you need. If it's Pella, I have a whole bunch that I've predefined as "Custom Window Symbols" so I should be able to make it work for you.

Reflected Round Arch Window w Custom Muntins. As Greg suggested.

I checked in X5 & X6 & X7. None of those provide Multiple Lites with a reflected Arch.

I am doing this for a variety of information - mostly consultant contacts, etc - with a set of macros that read text files located in the Project's Plan Folder. It requires both a Layout and a Plan to work and the Layout has to be opened to establish where the files are located. By reading the information from the text files and assigning the data to Ruby Global Variables the macros in your title block or in the Plan Template will automatically display that Projects' values. Other information can similarly be retrieved based on what you need.

I can't believe that was ever the case - I mean the part about you being a "babe"

I'm not sure why I'm responding to this thread.. The best I could come up with is the 2 attached Symbols. The problem is that when you place them you still have to rotate and move them so they are in contact with the cabinet. Then they look right in both 2D and 3D. Duplex Cabinet Outlets.calibz

Don't forget that every time a house is sold, the cost goes up 6% to cover the real estate commissions.

Yusuf, This is a pic from your Plan. All I did was change the the Frame to 4" with a 6" recess. Now the Drywall (green) shows. This is the exact same solution that I had. See Post #11 in https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/5101-will-somebody-help-me-with-this-bucking-plan/

Yusuf, That solution I presented a long time ago. Scott doesn't like it.

True, but IMO it's only valuable if you are using a reference macro to get the area.

The Exterior Room Label - usually Living Area - only reports the total area of those room that are defined as Include in Living Area. This means that it will not include Garages, Courts, Porches, Decks, or Balconies. So you can rely on that Area in the Exterior Room Label to accurately report that Floors' Living Area.

Sherry, FWIW, the area reported for the Exterior Room is only the Living Area even though the PLine surrounds the entire Plan. Garages, Courts, Balconies, Porches and Decks are not included in that area.

Make the Shower Wall "No Room Definition" For the Exterior Room, use the "Exterior Room Label"

So here's a different approach. I made a closed polyline that is about the right size for 1x2 Batts on 1x10 Boards (but I only made the total thickness 1". Then I converted it to a PSolid and set the height to 8' and converted that to a Solid. It can be trimmed with other Solids using "Solid Subtraction. I created an Architectural Block from it and added it to the Library. To trim it you will need to un-Block but since it's 8' tall and about 17'-6" long it can cover a lot of area and be trimmed pretty easily. Batt on Board.calibz

Scott, It's not quite the same. I left the No Room Definition Wall at the Floor. That's kind of a mix between Perry's and Dennis's solution. Changing the Structure doesn't get messed up this way. That wall doesn't have to be trimmed at the top but I just thought it left less vector clean-up for Elevations. It also Frames nicely I think you should at least experiment with it a bit .....

Scott, Check the attached Plan. The Wall with the Window in it is "No Room Definition". It has just a 1/8" Thick Stucco Exterior Layer. I trimmed the top down to the Interior Casing. You could trim the bottom up but then you would need to adjust the Window Height so I just left the bottom. The Pass-Thru in the thicker wall has a Frame (Stucco Material) The Pass thru is 6" wider and taller than the Window and the top is 3" higher. Once the thinner wall is moved into place, That Wall and the Pass-Thru can be selected together and moved or copied any way you want. :D :D B) Buck Framed Windows.zip

1. Use Solid addition to add them all together 2. Add another PSolid along the Line you want to Trim 3. Use Solid Subtraction to Subtract that from the one created in step 1

Yes I tried it - but I set my Frame to 4" top, bottom & side. As I said, if you want a demo, I can do that in a GTM.

Scott, Here is an Exterior Symbol that mounts on the wall. You can size it to match your opening and Window recess dimensions, center it on the window and move in to fit against the window frame. Let me know if you want to do a GTM. Bucked Window Frame.calibz
