custom_fields["field name"] is the way to get the data. Of course you'll need to specify the object in your macro. Owner would be typical if you want the outpt in the object's label.

I can't find the NKBA Dimensions in X16. Does anyone know if it's still available and how to get it?

For purposes of the plan, yes. In reality the electrician may not use GFCI outlets if the circuit itself is protected. However, he or she will place labels on non GFCI outlets where they are protected.

Find an archive version prior to your save that you can open. Then save it with a new name or save it as the original.

They work the same way. Either HDMI or Display Port but must be to GPU.

I use a 55" 4K TV

I concur. Most dropdowns should be alphabetically sorted. I'm not sure how this ond got scrambled.

I just use the "Stackable Washer" and change the name, etc. It's pretty close.

To elaborate on Ben's statement: ".rb" files can be stored there and "required". I think the Ruby "Tutorial" is one such file.

If you use "Saved Plan Views" and name them in the Project Browser, then you can use the Atomatic Label as the label of the Callout Boxes in Layout. Note that Chief uses "Floor Level" simply as an identifier. It's not intended to be the name of the floor.

I don't use it. It could be useful if you wanted to write a macro (on the fly) and save it into the scripts folder - or something similar in the data folder. But really it's just used by Chief internally to know where to get things.

FWIW, I always try to put pet doors in a wall rather than a door. If the house is later sold and the purchaser doesn't have a pet then the door doesn't have to be replaced. It's much less expensive to just close up the opening in the wall.

I have a macro that can display the height of a wall. However, it only displays the height of the wall correctly if there are no openings in the wall. I could probably set up some global hashes to store the opening areas for each wall and add that to the wall's reported area. This would make the calculation pretty accurate. But it would be far easier for CA to simply include an NVP for the wall "height".

Chief doesn't provide wall attributes (NVPs) for top_elevation or bottom_elevation. The best you can do is use the room finish schedule for this information. IAE, you should check my macro template in TIps & Techniques for the proper way to create macros in Chief. The format you are using doesn't work in chief.

I'm using a custom macro that displays the inch value as a superscript. I actually include several macros to include additional information such as: type egress tempered etc.

I'm pretty sure you can do this just using a standard wall cabinet and adjusting the face items.

No. I just enter the label and use that. ie: 42" Tall Glass Railing

I suspect that your floor height is set to zero or slightly more.

It's in the Layout. The same toolbar icons in Layout are pages while in the Plan they are Floor Levels.

Make sure you draw the borders & title block on page 0.

Use a drill.

The price for my "Room Macros" package is $75.00 It actually includes 35 macros covering almost anything that is related to rooms. room_areas - accumulates room areas to a $Global Hash - displays "" - needs to be in each room label room_ceiling_finish_layers room_ceiling_height_ft room_ceiling_height_ftin room_ceiling_height_in room_ceiling_structure_layers room_conditioned_existing_list room_conditioned_existing_total room_conditioned_floor_names_areas room_conditioned_floor_total room_conditioned_new_list room_conditioned_new_total room_dimensions room_dimensions_secondary room_floor_finish_layers room_floor_structure_layers room_internal_area room_internal_area_secondary room_label room_living_areas room_moldings room_name room_num_baths room_num_beds room_num_name - master room label for all rooms. room_number room_open_below_areas room_perimeter room_reqd_window_area room_standard_area room_standard_area_secondary room_total_building room_unconditioned_spaces_all_Floors room_unconditioned_total room_volume room_volume_secondary room_wall_coverings room_window_reqd Most of the above can be used in a RTB placed in a room - as well in a Room Schedule. I include a Library Object (RTB) with several of the above macros as an example. Payment can be made to Paypal Account chriscoll@dslextreme.com or Venmode Account joe.carrick@dslextreme.com

I have a set of macros to do this in RTB's.

Drywall L-Bead metal edging.

Hi Ron, I've been very busy and apologize for not answering PM's. Do you want it for actual elevation? ie: Sea Level or just relative to Floor 1 I have macros that work in decimal feet as well as in ft_in. -Joe
