  1. I have more than 2 schedules often.......no issues like 1,1 or whatever. I just create a new Note type. I don't know if this helps or is even the best way, but it works for me.
  2. Why does locating the model closer to 0,0 matter? If it's coordinate geometry each point has a unique address out as far as you take it.
  3. Each unto his own. If you are worried about offending someone by your room labeling ............you're in for a constantly bumpy and contorted life. I assume you are not actively promoting human slavery in your designs so all is good. The offense is not coming from your heart, but MAY be in the mind of the one suffering victimology. The same thinking makes people say Happy Holidays, instead of Merry Christmas, or any other groups special days title. With respect and love. Merry Christmas to all.
  4. Rene has talked about this a few years ago. I'm sure he has some updated processes and might drop by shortly. I store ALL chief in dropbox. No issues. Log out of macOS and start up WIN 11 on a different machine and everything is accessing the unified guts of the app, and all my projects.
  5. Chief sometimes doesn't frame things as a framing crew would so be careful. Always review before sending it to your team.
  6. I hope this is received well. This chief site works best as a repository of good, searchable content when Questions and asking "how to" is located in the Q & A section. Typically, people come to the Tips & Techniques section to learn some cool new way to accomplish something new that someone has discovered and is now sharing, not to ask How To but the share How To.
  7. I had this issue in X7 when I was on a mac and the collaborator was on a windows machine. He thought I was adjusting all the text...........yeah like I would do that to be a troublemaker. /s
  8. Sucks that instead of being able to use Rich Text without issue, we have to revert to using plain text or resize the offending RT. Might as well remove RT from the app then. /s The /s means sarrrrrrcasm. We need to laugh more
  9. Glad you were helped.........by secret Santa? All I see is problem.....then a thanks for a solution. I didn't learn anything (boo).....but what matters is YOU were helped (yay).
  10. Sheet Zero. Everything placed on Sheet 0 is present on all following sheets.
  11. He created a custom font and included it in the sale.
  12. When I framed full time, this was standard Alaskan Son created a custom macro for me.
  13. I saw a headline somewhere a few weeks back that the whole energy star program was somewhat of a scam. The headline could have been BS.....I just thought it was funny that so many things we trusted as true, might not have been. Pencils on paper were fun in HS.
  14. macOS has that built in Open in Preview Export to several formats:
  15. I had to frame this for an apartment in WA state. It's the only parapet I've done. I created shop drawings from the plans to get things correct. It was a wall set back from the edge and had a sloped hip roof around the perimeter. Not what you're doing but if it can help...here you go.
  16. Can the area be designed with 3 or 4 attic trusses? See what the truss design guys say. I bet they work with this scenario often in your area.
  17. Use a rectangular polyline then disconnect and delete the 3 unwanted lines. The rectangle always comes in square. Kind of a lame workaround but it works.
