@Alaskan_Son I am trying to set a points list so I can lay out foundations with my Topcon total station. The problem is, I can't figure out how to create the points and schedule the way you did. Could you please give me some tips on how to do that? Thanks

Joe,  do you have a list of your macros that are for sale

Joe,  could you let me know what it would cost to write the macro.  Also any tips on what could help me learn to create my own macros?

Does anyone know if it is possible to write a macro that you could put on the main floor view and would output the total sq.ft. of exterior brick?  I know that the material list provide it but it would be nice if you could have a text box that would spit certain material sq.ft. out on the fly.

Does any one know of a way to generate a foundation take off base on lineal foot of 4' tall, 8' tall, etc. with a price for each wall height?

It could be your power supply.

What I have done with verifying Mfr trusses with Chief models is have the truss Mfr export there 2d/3d models and importing into Chief.  Works well in making sure the trusses are right and let me know if there is anything that i have to change with the design. 

I use Radeon RAMdisk to make the drive.  

What i have done to improve the speed of Chief Architect on my pc is to install chief on to a ramdisk drive,  it surpasses the speed of any SSD Drive on the market.
