It is a bit extreme but if you delete from page 0 it seems to get rid of the data. Just need to recreate a new table then. It would be nice if you could just slide the old one off the page and create a new one but it seems to not be possible.

I did not fix the Airflow Column in the test plan as it must have been something that was already giving a value of "1". Try adding that to the Note Specification OIP and then re apply it in the Schedule DBX. Enter your values in the Note DBX.

David you need to create the fields in the note DBX and then apply them in the schedule DBX. Take a look at the revised plan file and I hope it makes some sense or you may have to hook up with someone live. note sched example Chopped.plan

I see a blank Manufacture field but that is not the schedule you originally posted. Looks like you also created custom fields in your original posting.

There is a default setting for that. Camera Tools> Backclipped Cross Section. Then it will always open the same way unless you mess with it.

It might make sense to include Technical Illustration. Not sure anyone would think to create a Cad Detail from a Watercolor view. Curious what view Mike may have been using at the time ?

Actually you may be doing something wrong or possibly discovered a bug. That should not be happening. Check by going to CAD > Cad Detail From View on the top menu bar. Are you running the latest update ? 21.3.1.1

Sure you can do a save as in Chief or just rename the file in File Explorer. Just be sure you are doing it at a time where it will not matter that you are disconnecting from your archive folder as well as recent file list of startup options in Chief. Not a great habit to get into but sometimes needs to be done.

Remember you are using a note schedule, so you need to use the OIP fields for the note. If you want to do it the other way you would need a Fixture schedule.

The other use for layout labels is just to keep you a little more organized which solves the initial problem quite easily by just dragging the label just beyond the border of your layout so it will not print but is still visible when working. There are a variety of macros that can be added to keep you informed of the source for each layout box etc. Or leave it were it is and turn off before printing.

Do you use Layout Box Labels for other views ?

Not sure it would be easy but someone like @yusuf-333 could likely figure it out.

It can be done with a molding but make sure you charge extra for the option.

Something like this ?

At first it would not display anything but a generic thumbnail image when clicked on. Seems ok now. It may have taken a while to load onto the server. Strange though that it displays ok on the browser but when you download to view it is extremely small and low res. I will upload what I downloaded and see what happens. Nice work by the way as always.

Rene, The image is kinda small. Is that uploaded from a cloud account ? Have seen it before but not sure why it happens.

It might help them want to upgrade to X12.

There is a lot that could be improved with down spouts. Might be a good one to post in Suggestions.

Eric @solver and I worked through that on another thread and seemed to be able to make it work consistently. On the other hand it was quite a pain and would be much easier with the DBX support you are suggesting. Let us know if we can help out until Chief catches up. Post your profile and alignment requirements.

Those are your Drawing Sheet Margins. It seems that Bottom and Right are a little messed up. Select the sheet (white area) near the border and open the DBX (Dialogue Box) and check your Drawing Margin Settings. Typically set to 3/16 or 1/4" for printer bleed.

Nice work Rob, Not really sure if that is a known issue or not but it might be a good example plan to send in so that does not happen in X12.

If you don't get a quick answer you will likely need to post the plan file or at least a screen shot of the elevation in question.

Likely easiest and would use less resources to just deselect Fill or you could bump the Transparency up to something like 70 or 80%.

Also might be helpful to remove the fill from or increase the fill transparency of your symbol's 2D cad block so you can have some idea of where you are placing your cabinets.

It is not the ideal situation but depending on your desired result it may work. Just be sure that the floor level of your model is at 0' and you will not be able to use all of the features of Chief Architect for this method but if you are just looking for some illustrations it may work out ok. Likely would be better to redraw in Chief or export the cabinets to Sketchup.
