I don't think that exists in X12. Try using Text Callouts with double callouts on the Cross Section Line (attributes panel). Make sure to edit the layer to CAD, Construction.

If the room above is habitable space the garage ceiling must be 5/8" type_X drywall for fire protection.

Not available at this time. See my previous post.

CA's Ruby is not the same as ACAD's List in that it doesn't provide for any modifications to the Model or Layer Sets. However, if Chief was to make an attribute (Name:Value Pair) for all objects %layer_displayed% (Y/N) then a Ruby Macro could be used as desired. I'm not aware that attribute has ever been requested. OTOH, it's my understanding that X16 will have many more attributes available. Whether that is one of them is anyone's guess.

Assuming that you simply want a TEXT BOX to either display something or not: Put that TEXT on a specific Layer In each LAYER SET that you want it not to be displayed, turn the LAYER DISPLAY to OFF. That can even be done for LABELS. There really isn't any need for a macro.

I'm looking for typical Stair Framing Details. Anyone have to share?

Landing?

Angled how?

Most likely the roof planes are not joined.

%box_scale% has been in the program for at least 15 years. Graphic Bar Scales should always be placed in the plan views sent to Layout. That way they will always be correct in the Layout.

Go back and read this entire thread. You will need the tub symbol to include a rectangular countertop with a hole that matches the shape of the tub.

I used my rubber stamp (red ink). added my signature scanned to a jpg

Besides which you have 2 separate icons, each of which is a tool bar.

Diane, Auto Archive always overwrites the current archive file - no history. If you want extra backups you have to save manually, then there's a history.

Set the Interior Door Defaults. Rough Opening > Side Clearance: 1/2" Framing > Supports > Trimmer Count : 1 Framing > Supports > King Stud Count : 2

You have to "Build Framing" after the wall has been created - or have "Automatic Framing".

It would really be much more useful if the Stair dbx had a way to automatically add these items at the appropriate locations and orientation. Maybe X16 will have such capabilities. Manual placement is a pain and matching to stair rails for various rise/run ratios is difficult because stretching the symbol changes the shape of the profile.

Yes, X15 changed several NVPs so that formula doesn't work. You'll need to get Michael to provide a replacement.

I have some custom macros to do it. I believe X16 may provide something like that as well.

I'd use a Ramp.

Forte only does single member sizing. It doesn't do foundations, etc.

You need to create a second floor. Then make everything but the loft area "open below"

I use Strucalc. It doesn't communicate with Chief. However, I can use Chief to calculate the loads and then enter those into Strucalc. Of course, you either need to be an engineer or an Architect to sign the calculations.

You'll have to do that with 4 Landings. Chief's L-Stairs and Winders are designed to do what the pic on the right shows.

Since Glenn showed how it can be done - CA should be able to program it.
