  1. Since you must have SSA - call Support.
  2. I use a timer for most things like this. Periodically I clear the hash (don't like using arrays) and then allow all the macros to update the hash and sum the data. Typically I set my timer to about 5 minutes so I'm not updating to often. The macros just skip all processing until the timer has reached the update interval. It's also possible to have a macro that's only displayed on demand to clear the hash. That way you can display it only when you want to force an update.
  3. I could be mistaken but I believe those also corresponded to the rapidograph pen sizes.
  4. What forum did you post in and what was it about? Spam typically get's deleted and things posted in the wrong forum might be moved to the correct forum. Never post a question in the "Tips & Techniques" forum.
  5. The IRC (CRC here in California) has a requirement for both seismic and wind loads. Even if you don't need an Architect or Engineer there's still a lateral bracing requirement. Personally, I've created a set of macros and symbols to meet the code requirements.
  6. Try "Tools>Materials_List>Calculate Materials for all Floors". The see if you can find that material (Description).
  7. If it's one of Chief's "Room Macros" then it will work in a text box placed in the room or with an arrow connecting to the room. A custom macro must have a line that sets the context.
  8. What do you need done? What sort of project?
  9. Also make sure the Reference Layer Set has the appropriate line styles and colors so they are differentiated from the main floor.
  10. I have all of my macro packages done but I still need to do the documentation. I'm kind of swamped with projects right now but I'll try to get them all ready by the end of the month.
  11. It will work if the objects are the same type, but if you select even one that isn't the same it doesn't work. example: Garage Door Doorway That doesn't work.
  12. No, you can only modify one library symbol at a time. It would be difficult for CA to provide for editing multiple objects due to the fact that they might not have the same set of parameters. IAE, there's no setting for the Layer Set - only the Layer.
  13. See my signature. Both screens are 55" 4K TVs. I just like to be able to have text as large as possible to minimize the need to zoom in and out.
  14. Note: I've exchanged the Logitech G13 for an Elgato StreamDeck XL. I have all my secondary dialogs set to popup on the screen to the right.
  15. Actually, for some callouts there is an interactive capability. Chief has been making improvements in this area over the last few versions. When this get's implemented it will I'm sure have such a feature.
  16. Check my suggestion in this thread: Elevation Callouts It wouldn't hurt to post another suggestion referencing that thread
  17. You have to either make that adjustment to the cooktop before inserting it into the cabinet. Alternatively you can select the symbol itself. In plan view select the cabinet then hit tab to get to the CAD Block Instance. Open it and on the 3D panel you can adjust the origin offsets. This is of course the procedure in X15. Prior versions are slightly different. Please edit your signature so we know what version you are using.
  18. You need to adjust the y & z origin values of the 3D cooktop symbol.
  19. I'm in San Marcos Scott Hall is in Rancho Bernardo Larry Hawes is in Vista
  20. Correct. I meant a "polyline distribution region". For clarity I've modified my previous post. Thanks DB
  21. Set your tile symbol as "Flush Mounted" and use a "Polyline Distribution Region" with the tile repeated at the desired vertical and horizontal spacing. You will need another symbol for the ridges on s 3D Molding Polyline.
  22. Chief changed some NVPs for X15. The macros would need to be revised to use the new names of the NVPs. I had to rewrite a lot of macros for X15. Anything I had done for prior versions I can't support.
