Create it in sketchup then import it into chief as a symbol..........but you need EXACT sizes, pitch, and dimensions to make sketchup useful in this instance.
Loom is cool.

Most called windows are actually ½" smaller both ways than called (48" x 36" is 47 ½" x 35 ½") and the R/O actually is 4-0/3-0
Anderson has some custom sizes....always refer people to the vender literature....

If X18 is featuring files existing on a CA cloud service....I could see an increased charge for that. I hope it's optional, because I like Dropbox.

2 different 3D exports and one 2D plan view section up 48". Resize the 2D using the dimensioned 50' wall

I’m heading into town so I won’t be able to solve this for you for a couple hours.

Post production video editing - yes.
During, probably, but timing and transitions might be hit or miss.

DWG exported from Chief.........sure. It's a mess but NEVER the chief files.

If you can find a way to share the link to your file where I can download it, I will open it and sketch up and send you back views that can be traced in chief.

You are a doer. Never stop. Keep rockin!
Most people never push themselves hard. I imagine some people are evious of your mastery of digital design. Some people are sad little minions.
Its fun to see whatever you share in your journey to excel in your craft.
Thanks on behalf of all the people you have helped.

I have it turned on automatically for any time I’m working on a chief architect file. I use different time trackers, like Clockify, when using other apps
for me, I export it into an Excel spreadsheet where I can total all the times in a column and assign a value per time (rate of $/hr)

You might have to readjust your walls so that you can make a great looking roof line and not what you have currently.

No problems other than Allow Full Disk Access during installation.

If you earn a living from the computer (TOOL) then have one built.Puget Systems is great. It's still great for my wife's business.

Oh wow that is great!! Thank you so much!!
How did you change the size of the window to have the subscript number as the inches?
Is there also a way to have the basement as 001, 002, 003... and then the Main Floor as 101, 102, 103.. and then I can just re-order them?
I paid Alaskan Son to create the superscript option. He was fast and reasonable. It takes a modified font that he provides, I chose modified ARIAL.
Then I set all my font type to ARIAL and the window and door openings to the modified ARIAL.
Rene also provides this, I don't know if it is only in his plan template or can be sold as an individual item.

You can reposition the order in the schedule. The first column allows you to drag up or down and the label updates in the plan.
I don't know about floor zero numbering.

Trusses are engineered by their design software.
If this is stick framed with a structural (curved) ridge for a cathedral look..................it's all do-able but the cost just went up.
Not just bending roof plywood or 1x8s, but the interior ceiling surfaces all have to be curved (unless flat ceilings)
Crazy fun. If they have the $$$ and desire.......go for it!

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
