1. You can't call yourself an Architect unless you are licensed as such. 2. If you don't fully understand the structure you are proposing then you should seek the services of a Structural Engineer.

Take a look at the Room Specification dbx

Yes, Room Fill.

That's close. You should be able to edit the walls in elevation views. The other option is to use a PSolid

Looks like a luxury edition of what you might find in Costa Rica

Here are 4 macros that I've customized to use in lieu of %object_properties%. I think my versions are much better because: They provide sorted output They work for both owner and referenced objects There's a version that works for Text Objects only There are condensed versions (without defaults) Object_Properties.json14.14 kB · 5 downloads

Hi Rob, It can be done using custom macros. With X13 you can save TB's and RTB's to the user library with macros and when placed in your plans the data will automatically be displayed. Note that there will need to be at least one macro included in the default room labels to provide for setting global variables (room areas)

The size is adjustable in both directions. The size is only limited to smallest in both directions. I don't think there's a limit to the maximum size - other than available screen area. AFAIK, the above is true for all dialogs. There's a minimum size that any of the tabs require without anything being chopped or needing a slider. IOW, if there's a tab that needs the space to display everything then that is the minimum size for the dialog.

I generally use Nuance PDF and don't have any problems. Sometimes I use Chief Architect print to PDF In any event, I set the resolution to 300 dpi vs 600 dpi which drastically reduces the file size. I don't see much differences in the PDF clarity.

I'm afraid I'd be using a couple of online translation programs more often than not. french to english english to french I'm afraid David's advise is best. You'll get more responses and assistance in English.

Translation - if I remember my high school french: Hi Gilles, I'm in Ordford! (Quebec I assume) I work with X12. I'd be pleased to share with you in the future. Danielle

Standard term for that in these forums is dbx

Sorry about that. Library>Import Library> Browse to downloaded file.

There are 2 ways to handle this after downloading: Open your downloads folder and select "Open With" > Chief Architect X12 In Chief Architect X12 select "File>Import Library" browse to the downloaded file.

I have the same observation. Maybe you should try redefining your wall types in X13.

I suspect that the "new" plan is using the new template definition - but the older plan is using the prior template. If both templates are the same then it probably doesn't matter. However, if anything was changed - which I think would be the case - then you might want to use the new plan. Since the programmers don't know which we might want ......

Also, you can avoid fractions altogether by setting the Primary Format to 1/1 for the fractions. This will make everything full inches. I tend to do this just to make things simpler for the framers, etc. For some things (large scale defaults) that's not appropriate - but I like it for general plan, elevations & sections.

I just use a "Mask" with a semi transparent fill. It's not perfect but it works for me.

HI Rene, I've experimented with both fonts. Is it possible to make the Arial Narrow use a wider "space" (maybe a double space)? I really don't know much about custom font capabilities. It would look a little better to have a wider space between the feet and inches.

Thanks Rene

He has a custom font that redefines the space to a dash, and the dash to a space. It would be nice if he'd share that font. But I would personally like a modified "Arial" font.

Use a Rich Text Box - just one so you can change the text size.

Answering your own question? Are you going to give yourself a "SOLVED" ???

There shouldn't be any problems. I have several projects from up to 5 versions back. Whenever I need to do additional work on one of those I just open it in the latest version, save it to my new version project folder and use that going forward.
