Yes, but rooms don't report the windows and doors contained in them. That's why you need a way of collecting all the windows associated with the room names. It would be very simple to use a room label or schedule to do what Adam's example indicated if the rooms had NVPs for their windows and glazed openings. Without that, the only way I know is to create a Hash of all of them along with their room name as the key. Even that requires all rooms have unique names. Also note that if a window is in a wall between an interior and exterior room the "room" NVP will be for both rooms. OTOH, it's really easy to use a room schedule or text box to show what the natural light and ventilation requirements are according to code. I have been doing that for years.

This can be pretty complicated because there's no direct connection between the room and the windows. It would require a macro to accumulate the windows into a $Global Hash (including the area & room NVPs). Then a text placed within the room could be designed to display what you've shown along with one more macro to sum the window areas of all windows which are associated with the room from the Hash. I would make the key in the Hash be the Room Name.

Regardless of previous answers (guesses) , it is: Origin Indicator (0,0) Set in Preferences > Coordinate System You can turn it on/off in various view types as well as set the color

Default Set, Text, Text Style, Line Style, Layer It's a little bit obscure but that's how it's controlled.

Post the Plan

I also have another macro that lists the drawer sizes for each cabinet.

Conestoga nomenclature doesn't indicate drawer sizes. Generally they are standard sizes matching your 3rd example - but customization is possible. That would be handled in the Conestoga ordering system. I do have another set of macros for the door and drawer panel sizes: cabinet_panels - placed in the default label accumulates all panels into a global hash cabinet_panels_detail - placed in a custom field or the comment field displays the panel sizes, finish & type cabinet_panels_list - same as above but indicates the quantities so if there's more than one of the same it will indicate the qty. The above is all based on Chief's Cabinet NVPs

FWIW, I can add any Manufacturer nomenclature to this macro - if I have their catalog. Just as an example for Conestoga a 3 Drawer Base Cabinet would be B3D21 while Chief's standard Label is 3DB21. My macro typically is used in the "code" or any other OIP field which can be used in a schedule to display B3D21

Yes, I do have a macro system to label using Conestoga nomenclature. Let me know if you want it and I can provide you with the price.

I'm no longer using this large format printer. It was only used to print about 100 24x36 sheets. It's located in San Marcos, CA and can be picked up or I can package and ship if needed. $400 + shipping

I do see they are charging for the Crime Scene & Fire Investigation and the Medical/Dental. But I got those free long ago and they still get updated. All of the 3D Plants are showing as free with SSA on my system.

I haven't found any catalogs I can't download free, including 3D Plants.

No

FWIW, we built a home in 1991 with this detail. We used a specially milled baseboard with the top 3/4" rabbited to jus 1/4" thick. We used a drywall edge molding (see Rene's video). We sold that home in 2021. So Michael's 25 year ago statement is totally in line.

Where is the plan in relation to (0,0) ?

34" should be to the center-line of the handrail. But without knowing the dimensions of the handrail I can't say if the dimension is correct or not. IAE, I just over-ride the dimension text.

Or you could create a material for the glass backboard that includes the images.

An alternative is to convert the pdf's to png's - much faster

I use the Room Molding Polyline (set the height at +24" so openings will be intersected) with: Base Molding Chair Rail Panels (could be 3D Millwork with a repeat distance - or just a 1/4"x36" molding with a texture) Wall Material Regions are another possibility

The preview is of the currently selected object. Select one of the light fixtures and the preview should change to that object.

Assuming you are trying to eliminate nodes in the middle of a line segment (colinear) then you just select the tool on the edit menu to Simplify Polyline. OTOH, for corners you can simply drag them to an adjacent corner which will delete a line segment.

I had a problem with direct access/assignment of macro values in calculations. By first assigning the macro result to a variable and then using the variable in the calculations it worked perfectly. I'm going to experiment with that technique to see if it solves my problem.

I really think this is a problem with macros in custom fields.

I have a similar problem with a schedule with a macro that generates an error until one of the row items has been opened and closed. This is a rather complex macro accessing some custom field values. I haven't found a way to solve it. I've asked Chief to provide a tool that would update on demand but haven't received a fix. In your case I would check to make sure some other process isn't messing with the global value(s).
