Did you remove the zipped plan?

Did you use the Build Foundation tool or the Slab Tool?

That would be a nice option in preferences.......or per object type for the macro masters

If you make changes on a plan out for bid.......don't......unless you send out an updated plan. Having subs bid plans that are not current can lead to $$$ mistakes

I manually do everything with polyline boxes and then manually add that information to sheet 0 in the title block

So back in 1989 through 1995 I exclusively framed houses within 150 miles of Houston Texas. Every single set of plans had a small text box on the very first page, cover sheet that had heated space first floor heated space second floor those two numbers added together and then all the unheated space listed as garage, covered porch and the like. We being lazy framers were caught up in the dollar per square foot game and we were able to look at the very first page and run a quick calculation from those numbers to let the builder know what it would cost for us to frame it. This was when I was a helper and this is how I saw it done. As I moved on and ran my own show I started to study the plans from the roof down to the foundation and I was able to see where the choke points were and add additional pricing to cover the time. I was no longer a flat rate dollar per square foot Framer. If they were putting these kinds of numbers on the cover sheet back then, there’s no excuse for that not to be automated and available without having to buy a macro from someone. I respect and admire the guys that can write macros but some of this stuff should be default in chief itself. I dictated this without proofreading so there may be some confusion

I have an apple account and ran into this

windows users might not want to create an apple account just to view your plan.

Nice to have just out of direct eye sight. Like you're working on a plan in the front of a train. - https://www.chiefexperts.com Dan Baumann - https://www.rabbittdesign.net Rabbitt Design

Cool. I've had this laying around in a "tech" drawer. I am now trying it out. It has quite a few buttons.

I’m not in front of my computer but I think you need to right- click the schedule and choose either refresh or re-number from the dialogue drop-down/context menu and it will re-number everything correctly. Then if you want them in a certain order you can drag each row up or down and that will also re-order the callouts. I could be wrong because I can’t verify but I think that’s how you do it
